Thursday Random Eight (02/04/2010)

The dB's - Spy in the House of Love: A kinda weenie, yet oddly fun, song from the Holsapple-led (that is, Stamey-less) version of the band.

The Locust - Pulling the Christmas Pig By the Wrong Pair of Ears: Scream scream scream.

Marillion - Voice in the Crowd: From a "bonus" disk shipped with a reissue of Clutching at Straws that I found used and cheap one day. On a global note, I'm not sure I've ever found a bonus disk to be much of a bonus, especially when this resulted in the fourth version of the album that I have owned at any point in time (LP, Cassette, Original CD, Bonus CD).

Yo La Tengo - The Hour Grows Late: From the super fabulous Electr-O-Pura, a slow, great track.

Sonic Youth - JC: A droning mess of fun misery from Dirty.

Rovo - Seer: With some similarities to the Boredoms, this is a manic drumming exercise of goodness.

Radiohead - Lucky: I never liked Radiohead much before OK Computer, and I've not really liked them much since. For whatever reason, I just bought the release blindly one day when I was at the store, never having heard a peep from it. It turned out to be one of my favorite purchases at the time, and while I don't listen to it as much now as I did then, it is still fun to revisit every now and again.

Radiohead - No Surprises: Another OK Computer track, a bit silly with a lullaby-like sounding tune, but decent nonetheless.
