Thursday Random Eight (06/18/2010)

Lou Reed & John Cale - Work: From the fantastic Songs for Drella memorial for Andy Warhol, Reed and Cale rip out a vicious tune expanding on their often cantankerous relationship with the artist.

Cursive - Mothership, Mothership Do You Read Me?: A fairly crazy, somewhat miserable tune from the band.

Sebadoh - Happily Divided: Goodness from the lo-fi world.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Intoxicated: From a bouncy recording with Ali Khan's vocals.

Knut - Genoa: From a loud recording that would be with a bear's vocals had it not been instrumental (maybe the bear was sleeping).

Marillion - He Knows You Know: Can't accuse the Random Eight of not being diverse today.

Built to Spill - Stop the Show: My peak of interest with the band was with this release, Perfect From Now On.

Husker Du - Dreams Reoccurring: A short introduction to the longer manic noise conclusion on Zen Arcade.
