Happy Humpday: The Random Ten
Something really for everyone, especially if you
were sentient during the 80s and 90s.
And away we
go:
1) "Beautiful Child," Rufus Wainwright, Want One (5 stars): "When I am older than these small, god damn hills." That's the opening line. Really. Seriously. I mean, Jesus. How good is that?
2) "The Wanting Kind," Eddi Reader, Simple Soul (4 stars): A bit earnest than I usually like, but really Eddi can do no wrong in my book.
3) "Satellite," Alison Moyet, Essex (3 stars): Heart-wrenching chorus belted out: "Want to get up and wash the rest of you away."
4) "Sunshine For Now," Super Deluxe, Famous (3 stars): Good little Seattle rock band; I have no idea if they are still in existence. They have some very good songs on this CD though, so if you see it used, pick it up.
5) "The Lazarus Heart," Sting, Nothing Like the Sun (3 stars): Really good opening song to a CD; great flute riff, or whatever it is, on this song. Interesting rhythms too.
6) "Shadows," Red House Painters, Ocean Beach (3 stars): RHP/Mark Kozelek is a sort of quiet, almost maudlin outfit that has some really good songs. I think Ocean Beach is probably the most accessible of their CDs actually. He's one whose voice you either love or hate.
7) "Englishman in New York," Sting, Nothing Like the Sun (2 stars): OK, iTunes not exactly jammin' on the randomness.
8) "It's A Miracle", Culture Club, At Worst...The Best (3 stars): Do I really need to say anything?
9) "Ironic," Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill (2 stars): See #8
10) "Alive," Pearl Jam, Ten (3 stars): See #9
