Friday Random Ten
Glass Eye "Perder la Guerra" Bent by Nature
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah "The Sword Song" Some Loud Thunder
Stephen Malkmus "Church on White" Stephen Malkmus
Joy Division "Atmosphere" Substance 1977-1980
Frou Frou "Psychobabble" Details

The first four made me think this might be the best random ten ever. But despite burning with optimism's flames, my ecstasy wouldn't really return until the end. Plus it got mighty dark--elegies by Ives, a song for 9/11, etc.
