Random 10 for May 26, 2009
Posted May 26, 2009 by George Lang
1. Phoenix, “1901.” Amazing that these Parisians are doing so well with Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Here’s hoping there are coattails for Tahiti 80.
2. Lupe Fiasco, “Go Go Gadget Flow.”
3. The Airborne Toxic Event, “Missy.”
4. Sparks, “Perfume.”
5. Lily Allen, “Mr Blue Sky.”
6. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, “Everything With You.” Nearly perfect in its sweet simulation of C86 indie pop. Not deep or meaningful, but every gorgeous jangle resonates.
7. Bebel Gilberto, “Bring Back the Love.”
8. Against Me! “Don’t Lose Touch.”
9. Ghostface Killah, “Beauty Jackson.”
