Friday Random Play
As I sit here working on my portion of the Advanced Torts group presentation (group presentations blow) here are the first 10 songs I heard.
- Tom Waits - In The Colosseum: Not one of my favorites but it's Tom Waits so it's good for something.
- Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. II: The funked out electronic instrumental that follows one of the Flaming Lips prettier songs.
- Pretty Green - The Jam: It's hard to find a bad song by The Jam although I don't care for Paul Weller's later solo stuff.
- Suicidal Tendencies - Master of No Mercy: I still love listening to ST. This is off "Feel Like Shit, De ja vu/Controlled by Hatred," the best angry young punk breakup record ever.
- Iceblink Luck - Cocteau Twins: I like the music alright but I never could get into the ethereal qualities of the Twins' vocals.
- Darkness of Christ - Slayer: I love Slayer but I've never heard this until now. It's off one of their later albums, "God Hates Us All," and isn't that great. It's no "Seasons in the Abyss" or "South of Heaven," that's for sure.
- Wish You Were Here - Ryan Adams: Off his underappreciated rock album from a couple years ago. It woulda been better if it was a Pink Floyd cover.
- Ready or Not - Sarah Cracknell: The solo album from the voice of St. Etienne. It's kind of disconcerting to hear her singing over string arrangements instead of warm and funky dance beats.
- Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam - The Vaselines: The Vaselines were one of Curt Cobain's greatest inspirations. I think Nirvana covered at least three of their songs; this one, "Molly's Lips" and "Son of a Gun."
- Where in the Hell Did You Go with My Toothbrush - Reverend Horton Heat: I think he's playing here in Lincoln this week sometime. Hilarious sendup of the traditional "you left me and took my dog, too" country song.
