Random 10 for Nov. 10, 2008
1. Marvin Gaye, “How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved by You)”
This velvety smooth Motown hit from 1965 is the perfect antidote for rainy Mondays. Enjoy.
2. Beck, “Sleeping Bag”
3. The Barenaked Ladies, “Conventioneers”
4. Bruce Springsteen, “Magic”
The man who sings about New Jersey dreamers and pretty girls isn’t especially known for metaphorical songwriting, but the title track from Bruce Springsteen’s 2007 album is a notable and dazzling exception. “I’ll cut you in half / While you’re smilin’ at me,” the Boss croons in this Brendan O’Brien-produced meditation about the sleight-of-hand of oppression.
5. Ryan Adams, “She’s Lost Total Control”
6. Possum Dixon, “Executive Slacks”
7. Dave Edmunds, “Girls Talk”
8. Louis Lane, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, “Rodeo – 4. Hoe Down”
9. The Sweet, “Love Is Like Oxygen”
One of the great bubblegum relics of the Seventies, the Sweet graced the world with such memorable power-pop tunes as “Ballroom Blitz,” “Little Willy” and “Fox on the Run.” But the group was never more profound that its final hit single from 1978, which tells you some things you really ought to know about good ol’ oxygen.
10. Lou Reed, “Beginning of a Great Adventure”
