Random 10 for February 24, 2009
1. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, “Dig, Lazarus, Dig.” The title track from Cave’s best disc in years, and that’s saying something. Not many people from his generation are making career-peak music at 52, but between Grinderman, the revitalized Bad Seeds and his soundtrack work, this man is absolutely killing.
2. Led Zeppelin, “Over the Hills and Far Away.”
3. Tori Amos, “A Case of You.”
4. The Flaming Lips, “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (Japanese Version).”
5. The Futureheads, “Hounds of Love.” The Sunderland band that took its name from a Flaming Lips album (!) recasts the Kate Bush classic as an angular rocker.
6. Northern State, “The Man’s Dollar.”
7. This Is Ivy League, “Celebration.”
8. Os Mutantes, “Ando Meio Desligado.”
9. Jimi Hendrix, “Izzabella.”
10. Northern State, “Better Already.” Sort of Luscious Jackson: The Next Generation, 2007 saw the trio led by former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer Hesta Prynn land at Mike Patton’s Ipecac Records, which released the Adrock co-produced Can I Keep This Pen?
