Friday Random Ten – Don’t Call it a Comeback

Jill

So I’ve been delinquent on the FRTs for a good month now, which I attribute to traveling and now working. But this week, I remembered to craft my FRT on Thursday night (it’s not technically cheating, since it was certainly Friday somewhere) and set the post to publish on Friday. Genius, I know. So here’s my triumphant return. Set your MP3 player to shuffle and leave yours in the comments.

The first Friday Video is a song I’ve had stuck in my head all week:

The FRT came out pretty good this time:
1. Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson – Woodfriend
2. Neko Case – That Teenage Feeling
3. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds – O’Malley’s Bar Part 1
4. The Blow – True Affection
5. Radiohead – Suck Young Blood
6. The Mountain Goats – Minnesota
7. Band of Horses – The Great Salt Lake
8. Tom Waits – Misery Is The River Of The World
9. The Avett Brothers – The Day That Marvin Gaye Died
10. Chick Corea – Medieval Overture

Second Friday Video is another song I’ve had stuck in my head for far too long. I don’t listen to the radio here so I have no idea if the Ting Tings are getting air time, but I did watch a lot of MTV in Thailand, and this song is apparently a big hit over there:

In other music news, I really, really want to go to this. And for all you Canadians, you should check out Feist.

Also, Meghan McCain: WTF?

  4. P.S. on the Meghan McCain/Stereolab tip, they performed the Marx-heavy Ping Pong at their concert last Wednesday in Austin. Sometimes they replace “don’t worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy” with “don’t worry shut up sit down go with it and watch TV.”

  5. Thanks for posting the Ting Tings video. They do this song (“Shut Up and Let Me Go”) from an Ipod commercial, but I didn’t know who it was until I googled them after listening to that video you posted. Now I think I’m going to get their CD; every song is so fun. It’s a little embarrassing to me how often I find new music from Ipod commercials (“Feel Good Inc” by Gorillaz was a big one), but they do have excellent taste.

  7. Jill, you really need to rename this feature “Friday Random Nine and a Tom Waits song”.

    It’s inevitable.
