Thursday Random Eight (10/15/2009)

Carter USM - Cheer Up, It Might Never Happen: Loud bouncy fun.

Amon Tobin - Completely Real: The Solid Steel Presents Live album is one of my favorite releases, capturing Tobin at his spinning best.

Amon Tobin - Foley Room: A bit of a different sound from a bit of a different album. The idea of Foley Room, using found sounds to weave and sample into his tracks, was mostly well executed in this release and demonstrates Tobin's desire to constantly do something different.

Stereolab - Super Electric: Yep, that's Stereolab.

Barn Burning - American Folk Rock School: I really like Barn Burning and their droning sad music of agony, but the Choir Practice EP that this is from is most notable for an acoustic cover of Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills."

Stereolab - Tomorrow is Already Here: A repetitive fun track.

Tomorrow is Already Here - Modern Times: Interesting sequence, with my friend Garret's musical experienced named after the song which played previously.

Mission of Burma - Academy Fight Song: Great song to end the random day.
