Random 10 for Sept. 23, 2008
Nirvana, “Negative Creep”
The Kinks, “Tired of Waiting for You”
Another great throwaway gem from the early days of the Kinks, this 1965 single proved yet again that Ray Davies could wax wistfully about damn near anything.
3. Lou Reed, “Waves of Fear”
4. Love Tractor, “Crash (Instrumental Version)”
5. The Jesus and Mary Chain, “Head On”
What’s there to say about this 1989 classic? It’s just terrific. There, I said it, and I don’t care who knows it.
6. Dishwalla, “It’s Going to Take Some Time”
7. The Rolling Stones, “Laugh, I Nearly Died”
8. The Deathray Davies, “Clock in Now”
It’s only appropriate that we would shuffle from Ray Davies to this little-known Dallas-based rock outfit, named in honor of the aforementioned Kink. “Clock in Now,” from the group’s 2005 album, The Kick and the Snare, is fairly representative of the band’s garage-friendly, fuzzed-out, hook-laden aesthetic. If there were any justice in the world (and I think we all can safely conclude there’s isn’t), the Deathray Davies would be at least as well-known as Green Day.
9. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, “Black Tongue”
10. The Eagles, “Life in the Fast Lane”

yeah, we say the DeathRay Davies at SXSW a few years ago and I remember them. And frankly, that’s it. Amongst the twenty bands that we would see performing every day for four days straight, I REMEMBER them.
P.S. omg, a flying v guitar? i had no idea.
