Thursday Random Eight (10/29/2009)

Crainium - The Coquettery of Immobility Oh Watch How I Bake, a Victim, a Baby, a Coital Cake: A song as insane sounding as its title would lead you to believe.

Tom Waits - Black Market Baby: Just a great song from Mule Variations...which I think I've said before is an album I don't often give enough credit.

Radiohead - Karma Police: Never been a big Radiohead fan, but really liked OK Computer at the time it came out.

Jeff Buckley - Jewel Box: Just good stuff.

Butthole Surfers - Something: Back in the day, I found a numbered, limited edition release called "Double Live," a peculiar looking package which looked to be a bootleg, but it was a bit hard to tell. Now that the internet and its wealth of answers to these questions is within reach, I've learned the band captured a bootleg and released it on their own label and now have the "limited edition" available as a free download from their website. All that said, this captures the mania of the Surfers very well, with "Something" closing out the collection with noisy angst.

Amon Tobin - Cougar Merkin: From Solid Steel Live, over and over again I say how great this CD is.

Tom Waits - Eyeball Kid: Tom at his goofiest.

Robyn Hitchcock - Airscape: Like a buffoon, I bought all the reissues of Robyn Hitchcock CDs a few years ago even though I already had most of the originals...but hey, I had to have those extra bonus tracks. For Element of Light, I will say the upgrade was worth it, if for nothing else, this live track.
