Random 10 for August 18, 2008
1. Belle & Sebastian, “Is It Wicked Not to Care?” Swordplay in kilts and Isobel singing to a stuffed animal — what better way to start the week?
2. Common, “U, Black Maybe.”
3. The Ruby Suns, “It’s Mwangi In Front of Me.”
4. The Ting Tings, “That’s Not My Name.”
5. Goldfrapp, “You Never Know (Live).” A slightly more pro-forma coda that was dropped on the end of “Seventh Tree,” just to keep the club kids happy.
6. Destroyer, “Looters’ Follies.”
7. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, “Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson.”
8. Devo, “Jocko Homo.”
9. Ramones, “Bonzo Goes to Bitburg.”
10. Club 8, “Missing You.” Searching for this Swedish duo on YouTube unfairly drags up a ton of clips of S Club 8, the unfortunate successor to the equally unfortunate British prefab pop band S Club 7. Alas.
