Randomness, 2/10/07

Been under the weather, so I’m leaning back on this old trick. Random list of songs, iTunes shuffle feature.

1. Erroll Garner – “St. Louis Blues”

   My place of birth, actually…

2. James Brown – “Please Please Please”

   R.I.P.

3. Saturday Looks Good to Me – “Liquor Store”

   Homemade, fuzzy-as-heck Phil Spector-ish pop song.

4. Catfish Haven – “All I Need Is You”

   Otis Redding lives on through imitation…

5. Girl Talk – “Hold Up”

   Is a snippet of a mash-up dance party considered a ‘song’?

6. Ballboy – “Meet Me at the Shooting Range”

   Murder ballad.

7. Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim – “The Girl from Ipanema”

   Ah…

8. Sonic Youth – “Sleepin’ Around”

   Rather ripped!

9. Belle and Sebastian – “Love in the Afternoon”

   B-side excursion: breathless vocals, ‘80s sax intro.

10. Bob Dylan and The Band – “Million Dollar Bash”

    “The louder they come / the bigger they crash”...
