Random 10 for November 19, 2008
1. Keane, “Spiralling.” A great new single from Perfect Symmetry, a deeply guilty pleasure considering that more than half of the disc sounds almost nothing like the Keane of a few years ago, and everything like, oh, Simple Minds or Icehouse. Icehouse (!) – holy crap, that’s an odd reference!
2. Otis Redding, “Shake.”
3. Death Cab For Cutie, “Long Division.”
4. Devo, “Head Like a Hole.”
5. Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, “Rise Up With Fists!!” In which our heroine cops style tips from Donna Fargo or Lynn Anderson or Dottie West for a “Hee Haw” parody, begun with characteristic good taste by Great Schlep mastermind Sarah Silverman. All hail Sarah for getting the bubbies out, which as Chase can explain, is not as dirty as it sounds and doesn’t mean what you want it to mean.
