Saturday Random 10 (but really 20) VII: 550 Miles, White Stripes and Ale
I drove 550 miles today. Why, you may ask? Why, to watch Silence Bleeds set Nikstock on fire in Nichols, NY of course! They just keep getting better and better, and I'm eagerly awaiting thier full-length. In the meantime, however, I have been obsessing over 2 things this entire week.
(A) The White Stripes - Icky Thump. I really like The White Stripes; I have every single one of thier albums, including an ultra-rare Christmas single. That being said, I've never listened to a White Stripes album as much as I've listened to Icky Thump; it's perfect. It's JUST weird enough to appeal to my bizarre avant-garde affinities while still managing to ROCK. HARD. Like, really goddamn hard. I dare you NOT to headbang to Little Cream Soda. You can't do it. Because it FUCKING ROCKS.
(B) Samuel Adams Summer Ale. You would think beer brewed with lemon zest would be hideously awful, and you would be 100% wrong. It puts an interesting flavor to the ale, and cuts any aftertaste off, while still tasting (pardon the metrosexual wine adjective) "summery". I've almost finished an entire 12-pack in the past 4 days (which is a lot of beer for me these days). Delicious!
Also, and I can't express this nearly enough, I can't WAIT to start classes in September!
So, without anything else to add, heeeeeere's my Random!
1. Dinosaur Jr. - Loaded
2. Sigur Ros - untitled 05
3. Motley Crue - Too Young To Fall In Love
4. Korn - Seed
5. Compay Segundo - Oui Parle Francais
6. Pantera - Drag the Waters
7. The Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning is the End is the Beginning
8. Sepultura - Talking Shit
9. Cee-Lo - One For the Road
10. Sasha - Belfunk
11. Brother Ali - Daylight
12. Michael Franti & Spearhead - Time To Go Home
13. Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
14. The Blood Brothers - American Vultures
15. Panjabi MC - Sweeter
16. +44 - Cliff Diving
17. Shelter - Freewill
18. Aesop Rock - Zodiaccupuncture
19. Deftones - Street Carp
20. Rasputina - Wish You Were Here
ha HA! Some traditional Cuban music sung in French, one of Pantera's best songs, a Pumpkins tune from the cinema classic 'Batman & Robin', classic MJ, the greatest hardcore song ever (Freewill), and one of Aesop Rocks's greatest, trickiest rhymes. Good random, iTunes! GOOOOOOD!
