I've been totally slacking on my FRTs lately so, without further ado...
1. Pete Townsend -- Save it for Later
A very fine remake of a very fine English Beat song. Though I still can't tell you what it's about.
2. Prodigy -- Charly
This was my first Prodigy song, one that I heard way back in my college days. I think they used to listen to this sort of thing at what the kids called a 'Rave' back then.
3. The Faces -- Ooh La La
Everyone's favorite Faces song. I didn't really know much about it until the "Rushmore" soundtrack. Who *doesn't* wish they knew then what they know now?
4. Outkast -- Pink and Blue
From Andre 3000's half of the set, "The Love Below." The more time that elapses between the time I first heard this CD, the less impressed I am with his stuff, though I don't think I was ever that 'into' this song.
5. The Beta Band -- Pure For
Man, I really like The Beta Band. Too bad they broke up just as I was discovering them...
6. The Beta Band -- Easy
Well, I'm not the only one who likes TBB. Apparently the gods of randomness are pretty fond of them as well...
7. Bloc Party -- Price of Gas
I used to think this whole '80s revival thing was kind of cute, but now it's kind of creeping me out. New Wave music wasn't really all that great, in retrospect. Not to say that I don't like Bloc Party, but I can't listen long. This song's pretty good, tho.
8. The Stroks -- Red Light
Not one of the best songs off their latest, but not one of the worst, either.
9. Radiohead -- Climbing Up the Walls
What is there to say about "OK Computer" that hasn't already been said? It's fantastic, everyone should own at least one copy.
10. Kanye West -- Breathe In Breathe Out
Say what you will about KW, he *does* have a sense of humor sometimes.
So does Ludacris.
