Random 10 for May 21, 2008
1. Charlotte Gainsbourg, “The Songs That We Sing.” Not that it isn’t obvious, but the gentlemen making beautiful noise behind Charlotte are Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel, a.k.a. Air.
2. Johnny Cash, “Rowboat.”
3. Belle & Sebastian, “Beautiful.”
4. Portishead and Paul Weller, “Wild Wood.”
5. Girl Talk, “Bounce That.” The following songs get sampled by Gregg Gillis in this monumental mash-up:
6. The Field, “From Here We Go Sublime.”
7. The Flaming Lips vs. Chumbawumba, “Tubthumping.”
8. Public Enemy, “Nighttrain.”
9. The Free Design, “I Found Love.”
10. CSS, “Rat is Dead.” From the upcoming CSS disc Donkey, “Rat” represents CSS in its more straightforward New Wave stance rather than its more electro-oriented, Diplo-matic state.
