Random 10 for March 24, 2009
1. Mitch Friedman, “This is a Song.” Thanks to Friedman, who recently released his fourth disc of clever, off-kilter pop songs, Game Show Teeth, we all know how to write a song. This guy has top-flight assistance from Andy Partridge and Dave Gregory of XTC and indie pop cult artist R. Stevie Moore.
2. Dr. Dog, “Old News.”
3. Hindu Love Gods, “Raspberry Beret.”
4. Hot Chip, “Wrestlers.” Here we come — drop kick, full-nelson, half-nelson, Willie Nelson.
5. Beastie Boys, “B-Boy Boullabaisse: A Year and a Day.”
6. Belle & Sebastian, “A Nice Day For a Sulk.”
7. The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, “Everything With You.”
8. Evangelicals, “Diving.”
9. Aqueduct, “Living A Lie.”
10. Colourmusic, “Yes!” You are correct — that is three Oklahoma acts in a row. And to celebrate, a perfectly celebratory video.

I must admit to loving some R. Stevie Moore.
