My internet's finally working regularly, but I've got no thoughts. Put down a random ten and maybe I'll have some...

Cool, not a lot of people have that disc!
I like it quite a bit. Then her second album got weird and I lost interest.
Your Foo Fighters entry reminded me that I've always wanted to call my band "Self-Titled Debut Album". I'm sure I can't be the first to think this up, but I think just messing people like that would be amusing.
I've got that Dettmann in my iTunes, but I don't really remember it much. His single "Plain" though is one of my fave house tracks from the Aughts.
I believe I was also impressed by one of his splits with Ben Klock, in my CD-Burning (rather than iPodding) days.
I'm not a big fan of this album. Too dry for me.
More thoughts on dettmann:
Of the big three from the Berlin techno scene a couple years ago (Klock, Dettmann, Fengler), klock is by far my favorite. Fengler is dry and clinical like dettmann but his music has an edge of anger to it that makes it more interesting to me. On my phone so I can't post examples, but off the top of my head here's my 3 favorite songs.
Ben Klock - coney island
Marcel Fengler - thwack
Marcel Dettmann - argon
1. The Island, Come & See, The Landlords Daughter -- The Decemberists
2. Nightswimming -- R.E.M.
3. Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance -- Bob Dylan
4. The Battle March Medley -- The Pogues
5. Tom Courtney -- Yo La Tengo
6. Across the Universe -- The Beatles
7. Heavy Rotation -- Soul Asylum
8. Standing By The Sea -- Husker Du
9. Chaos Streams -- Son Volt
10. All the King's Friends -- Soul Asylum
Bonus: The Teen Thing -- Young Fresh Fellows
1. Beyoncé “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” I Am... Sasha Fierce (Platinum Edition)*
2. Sleigh Bells “Holly” Sleigh Bells Downloads*
3. Bobby Bare Jr's Young Criminals Starvation League “Valentine”* From the End of Your Leash
4. Andy Stott “Dark Details” Passed Me By
5. Nobukazo Takemura “Dancing Flow” Finale (for Issey Miyake Men by Naoki Takezawa)
6. Colin Stetson “Awake on Foriegn Shores/Judges” Daytrotter Session: Big Orange Studios 7/8/2011*
7. The Sight Below “Further Away” Glider
8. Shabazz Palaces “Endeavors for Never (The Last Time We Spoke You Said Were Not Here. I Saw You Though.)” Black Up
9. Stars of the Lid “Articulate Silences Part 1” Stars of the Lid and Their Refinement of the Decline
T. Tricky “Taxi” Angels with Dirty Faces*
B. Seefeel “Air-Eyes” Starethrough EP
Notes:
1. That's too much album title.
2. Before Treats, before they were even signed, they had some mp3s up on their... myspace(?) available for download. This one didn't make the album, but others were "Crown on the Ground" and "Ring Ring".
3. Featuring Will Oldham on background vocals, about as important as Trent Reznor's bgvox on Tori Amos's "Past the Mission". (Which is to say, completely unimportant.)
6. Subscription Required
T. UK Version only.
Since most of my music purchases over the last two years have come from lurking here on Fridays, I thought maybe I would play too...
1. Two Kinds of Happiness - The Strokes
2. The Sands of Iwo Jima - Drive By Truckers
3. Don't Fear the Reaper - Caesers
4. Mean Mr. Mustard - The Beatles
5. Give Me Novacaine - Green Day
6. No One's Leaving - Jane's Addiction
7. Where It's At - Beck
8. Truce - Jars of Clay
9. Hey Now - Oasis
10. Bicentennial Man - Black Lips
Nice debut. Not sure what would have been cooler, a Blue Oyster Cult cover or an actual Blue Oyster Cult track.
That DBT album is good, but I really enjoyed 'Sands'. Nice Pull.
And another Pandora shuffle. Since I heard through the grapevine that you guys (since I am the only female I can say that) wanted to know how I got such random music on my Pandora playlist, I just shuffle all my stations. I have stations that generate music based off of say The Hold Steady, another station for Macklemore (an artist if you do not know, you should), another one for Barenaked Ladies, etc. I am also really diligent about "liking" songs. So here is the list for this last Friday of August:
1. Jack Johnson - Upside Down
2. The Hold Steady - Chillout Tent
3. Oasis - Live Forever
4. Kids These Days - Darling
5. Alabama Shakes - Rise to the Sun
6. Rascal Flatts - I Won't Let Go
7. Dessa - The Crow
8. Eddie Vedder - Rise
9. The Hold Steady - We Can Get Together
10. Etta James - The Love of My Man
10b. Outkast - Ms. Jackson
Solid list. I especially like 7-10b.
I am a huge not-fan (I don't want to use "hate") of the girl vocals on "Chill Out Tent".
1. "Odenall Pi" - E.S. Posthumus, Cartographer
2. "Honest Work" - Todd Rundgren, A Cappella
3. "PI R2" - Clint Mansell, Pi soundtrack
4. "Petropolis" - Steve Hackett, Bay of Kings
5. "Bookstore" - Jon Brion, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtrack
6. "Return to the Jungle" - John Scott, Greystoke, The Legend of Tarzan soundtrack
7. "IV. Allegro" - George Frideric Handel, Concerti Grossi Op. 6, Nos. 1-4
8. "Man, It's So Loud in Here" - They Might Be Giants, Mink Car
9. "Crossing the Border" - Roger Eno, The Long Walk
10. "Eat Your Potatoes (Quiet Mix)" - Ensemble Studios, Age of Mythology soundtrack
And the Welcome to St. Louis, Hurricane Issac track:

Bonus: 9027 km Ok Go*
*From the repository: "9027 km", which is not listed on the album sleeve, is a 35-minute track of singer Damian Kulash's girlfriend sleeping, included on the US version of the album. He says there is good reason for it, but as of now, fans do not know why, except for a discovery by sherib on the official OK Go forums, which showed that the distance between Los Angeles, California and Malmö, Sweden was 9027 kilometers (km). It has been rumored that the track was added to pad out the CD so that their label could not use the extra space to add DRM.
That's nothing, The Mudhoney album My Brother the Cow had a 39-minute bonus track which was the entire non-bonus section of the album played backwards. And they didn't do it to prevent DRM or whatever, but just to piss on everybody because they were jackasses.
Funny.
I remember my friend and I were just talking during the duration of that track, so that when the CD looped back and 'Invincible' came on, it scared us both half to death.
i remember something similar happening with my friends at the end of mellow gold.
That was some heavy crap at the end of that. A friend with a pickup had the cassette, and we thought his tape deck had broken and was eating tape.

I agree.
I think I'll bust out the Percy soundtrack this afternoon.
No random list this week, since I just switched computers at home and haven't bothered setting up iTunes yet. I just stopped by to put a plug in for the new Swans album The Seer because it's really, really good.
That was almost a late night impulse purchase this week. but it was 17+ dollars on Amazon. I'll definitely check it out at some point.
I listened to their prior album, and I couldn't really take it.
What about it couldn't you take?
I'm genuinely curious. I find Swans to be probably the most challenging band for me to listen to. Their music is all build up of tension and there's never a release. I like them a whole lot, and when I'm in the right mood there's little I find better, but I find myself listening to Angels of Light a lot more often since it's not so... intense.
