Friday Random Ten – the Yes We Did! edition November 7, 2008 Jill The Rules: Set your MP3 player to shuffle, and post the first 10 songs that come up. Friday video: Since you were all such fans of Santogold last time around, here she is again: The Ten: 1. Rhett Miller – Our Love 2. Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane – Evidence 3. Mary J. Blige – Never Been 4. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Warrior 5. Silver Jews – The Right to Remain Silent 6. The War on Drugs – Buenos Aires Beach 7. The Books – Tokyo 8. Michael Jackson – Billy Jean 9. Les Savy Fav – Hold On to Your Genre 10. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – Who Do You Love? And the White Stripes do Dolly Parton: More tunes below the fold. No video here, but another Santogold track that I love. And yes, it was on Gossip Girl a few weeks ago. What? (If you’re as big a Gossip Girl fan as I am, you’re reading the NYMag recaps, right? Amazing). Some Grizzly Bear: Girl Talk has a pretty sweet remix of Knife, but I’m pretty sure I’ll get yelled at if I post the video on a feminist blog, so here it is if you’re interested. And a little Rufus, for old-times’ sake:
