Random 10 for November 18, 2008
1. El Perro Del Mar, “Glory To the World.” Sweden’s Sarah Assbring (yes, you’d use a pseudonym, too) uses a magic telescope to peer into her fellow scientists’ psyches while serenading us with child-like rhymes that make Jonathan Richman sound like Slayer.
2. The Lovely Feathers, “In the Valley.”
3. Radiohead, “Electioneering.”
4. The Ark, “This Piece of Poetry is Meant to Do Harm.”
5. The Long Blondes, “Guilt.” (clap. clap. clap-clap-clap. clap-clap-clap. clap.) Dog Show! Sadly, Couples, which was released in April, is likely to be it for the Long Blondes. The band’s guitarist, Dorian Cox, suffered a stroke last summer, has had a difficult recovery and announced three weeks ago the band was packing it in as a result. A sad end to a promising band.
