Friday Random 20 plus 2 (cats)
May. 18th, 2007 09:06 pmGreetings from the much chillier climes of Portland, ME. I did a whole Random Ten entry this morning, spending my usual time annotating somewhat, but then lost it in a silly computer glitch. So, I'm not going to rewrite it, but here's what was played for me with my morning coffee:
1. "Penetration" - The Stooges - Raw Power
2. "Hot One" - Shudder to Think - Velvet Goldmine soundtrack
3. "Sweet Jane (early version)" - The Velvet Underground - Loaded (fully loaded edition)
4. "Limbo" - Throwing Muses - Limbo
5. "One Rose That I Mean" - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Lick My Decals Off, Baby
6. "The Grand Duel (Parte Prima)" - Luis Bacalov - Kill Bill vol. 1
7. "Everlasting Joy" - Tripsichord Music Box - Tripsichord Music Box
8. "The Continental" - Prince & The New Power Generation - O(+>
9. "Baby It's Love" - The Libarettos - Oceanic Odyssey Volume 12
10. "Boys" - The Beatles - Please Please Me
And now, with my evening (decaf) coffee, another set from out of the 21,153 in the stuffed little device, with some comments:
1. "Jump Monk" - various artists - Weird Nightmare: Meditations on Mingus
Bright jazz dissonance with a great beat.
2. "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" - Johnny Cash - Man in Black 1963-69
I have a huge amount of Cash now, more than I need, and this is one of the ones I don't need. Will go soon.
3. "I'm a Steady Rollin' Man" - Robert Johnson - The Complete Recordings
Never gets old.
4. "Louie Louie" - The Kingsmen - The Louie Louie Files
Perfection, and even if the words are difficult to make out, the song as a whole is comprehensible at any speed.
5. "When You're Hot, You're Hot" - Jerry Reed - Wacky Favorites
Novelty record. Fun enough to keep.
6. "Trusting Mr. Jones" - The Hitmakers - Those Clasic Golden Years 07
Good god. Some kind of British snotty pop-psychedelia inspired a bit by Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man" (in the "Mr. Jones" characterization). Wonderfully lovely in its cheesiness.
7. "Bring Him Back" - Dusty Springfield - Dusty Volume 2
Good song, great singer, terrific recording.
8. "The Green Door" - Jim Lowe - Back to the 50s 01
More novelty, this one a bit more of a classic.
9. "Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart" - The Puppets - Girls in the Garage vol. 1
Oh, cool . . . great nasty all-girl garage band. Bit of a Shangri-Las toughness to them. An answer to the much more prevalent and very similar snide songs from the boys in the garage from the same time.
10. "I Told Those Little White Lies" - The Painted Ship - Back from the Grave 8
Like this one, except unlike the norm, where the guy is complaining about the girl's bad treatment of him and telling her to go away, here he's crowing about his bad treatment of her (supposedly in retaliation against her actions, but he sounds too pleased about the whole thing).
Meanwhile, back in Brooklyn:
Moni wonders why I am not her Mommy, and Hooker has his 15th nap of the day:
1. "Penetration" - The Stooges - Raw Power
