Random 10 for December 18, 2008
1. CSS, "Move." Perfectly pleasant electro, but where the hell is the edge? With the first disc, I felt like I was listening to something I shouldn't be, but now CSS is safe and mild. Tired of being interesting?
2. Air vs. The Moog Cookbook, “Kelly Watch the Stars.”
3. Dalek, “Paragraphs Relentless.”
4. Rebirth Brass Band, “Just the Two of Us.”
5. Kate Bush, “Cloudbusting.” Someday I’ll do my list of the best music videos of all time. After 23 years, this one is still near the top, mainly because it has one of the strongest narrative components of any music video I’ve seen and, like the song, was based on the life and arrest of Wilhelm Reich, the odd-duck inventor of “orgone accumulators” and “cloudbusters.”
6. Electric Light Orchestra, “Mr. Blue Sky.”
7. Ella Fitzgerald, “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.”
8. The Killers, “Neon Tiger.”
9. Miles Davis, “Flamenco Sketches.”
10. Lily Allen, “The Fear.” It’s Not Me, It’s You is released on Feb. 10 domestically, though I’m certainly hoping for an advance copy to make January an uncharacteristically boffo month for media and take the sting off the post-Christmas stream of horror films and music too embarrassing to release during the holiday season.
