Thursday Random Eight (01/22/2009)
Pixies - There Goes My Gun: The Pixies are a band that I just kinda like, never too much, never too little. Some songs jump out at me (Debaser, Wave of Mutilation, Gigantic), but most just kinda fade into the background.
The Books - Don't Even Sing About It: Another from The Lemon of Pink, another quietly odd mix of instruments and samples.
Mission of Burma - Dirt: From the live Horrible Truth about Burma release.
Kid Koala - Stompin' at Le Savoy: Standard bouncy DJ-ish music.
Red Krayola - Greasy Street: Fun, weird, funky mix of goo.
Smog - Sleepy Joe: Again from Wild Love, my favorite Smog release.
Thuja - Track 7: From The Deer Lay Down Their Bones, a quiet, string-based track that grows in volume and intensity, from ambient to crazy.
Lou Barlow - Blue Sunshine: Early recording from the eventual Sebadoh front man; these releases are fun in their history as anybody these days putting out demos on noisy 4-track recorders (if that) would be shunned in the advanced relative ease of the home digital recording world. Like many of these releases, this is a pretty decent track as a precursor to the punky Sebadoh days.
