Friday Random Ten

Ice T "O.G. Original Gangster" Just Say Sire: The Sire Records Story
Bill Nelson "Hope for the Heartbeat" (Remix) The Love That Whirls (Diary of a Thinking Heart)
Sleater-Kinney "Jenny" Dig Me Out
Steve Earle "The Kind" Jerusalem
Richard Thompson "The Woods of Darney" You? Me? Us?
The Magnetic Fields "Busby Berkeley Dreams" 69 Love Songs
Speed the Plough "Napoleon" Mason's Box
Petra Haden "Armenia City in the Sky" The Who Sell Out
Sleater-Kinney "O2" One Beat
Moe Tucker "S.O.S." I Spent a Week There the Other Night

bonus
Kasey Chambers "Last Hard Bible" The Captain

The women certainly are representing this week, from Down Under to the Velvet Underground. Only fitting for 11 songs this all-over the musical map. That said, my favorite song of the set has to be the Magnetic Fields cut. (And I'll beat you to it, Mike: not only is the ever present New Jersey here, it's obscure NJ at that. But a great song.)

Not only did you beat me to it, you got it. I recognize no Jersey in here. Too obscure for even me.

(Though I shouted out to your S-Kx2 over at LLATPON' FRT earlier.)

Speed the Plough is a Feelies-connected band, featuring Brenda Sauter on bass. Much more contemplative and less driving, but really good stuff.
