Thursday Random Eight (07/09/2009)

Tom Waits - The Fall of Troy: Quiet song from the Orphans release a few years back.

Marillion - Pseudo Silk Kimono: Opening track from the Misplaced Childhood album, a concept album that is a little dry in the early stages but gets twisted as it progresses.

Mission of Burma - Go Fun Burn Man: A more punkish song from MOB, a little sloppy sounding off the live Horrible Truth About Burma release.

The dB's - Amplifier: Possibly the band's signature song about a breakup where the girl stole everything but a guy's amplifier which, as the clever writing goes, is only wood and wire and basically worthless without anything to go with it. Makes me laugh.

X-Ray Spex - I Live Off You: Horns are so punk.

Peter Holsapple - Darby Hall: Holsapple day on the iPod, apparently.

The Paper Chase - You're One of Them, Aren't You?: A paranoid sounding title from a paranoid sounding band. I have to say that the latest release from The Paper Chase, Someday This Could All Be Yours, Vol. 1, is one of my favorite CDs that I've bought in a long time and is a constant play on the iPod these days.

Chainsaw Kittens - Bones in My Teeth: Upbeat track from Tyson Meade's band.
