Random 10 for June 16, 2009
1. She & Him, “Black Hole.” M. Ward and Zooey are working on “Vol. 2,” but to tide you over, there is a nice cover of The Smiths’ “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” on the “(500) Days of Summer” soundtrack.
2. Cocteau Twins, “Fifty Fifty Clown.”
3. VHS Or Beta, “Euglama.”
4. St. Vincent, “Actor Out of Work.”
5. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, “Contender.”
6. Hot Chip and Peter Gabriel, “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa.” “And it feels so unnatural … to sing your own name.”
7. Battles, “Tij.”
8. Bob Dylan, “Oxford Town.”
9. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, “Inspiration Information.”
10. Metric, “Sick Muse.” With Fantasies, Metric achieved the neat trick of creating a great, accessible pop album without making it sound compromised or a betrayal of the band’s previous work. It’s like the album No Doubt might have made had they not been such cartoon buffoons.
