    *Notes:
    1. Oh my AJR does a lovely version of this, pursing her mouth for the line "It doesn't have to be a snowman", where in the movie little Anna sings through the keyhole.

    3. I actually bought this EP, a CD and DVD pairing (which had all 3 Autechre videos on it) before I even owned a DVD player.

    T. I usually just skip the bird sounds when doing Random Tens, but I love this bird's sound. It reminds me of an old dial-up modem initialization sound. My kids will never get that reference, will they?

    E. Samples John Cougar's "Jack & Diane". Compared that to Coldcut, whose remix sampled Ofra Haza.

  5. Since we appear to be moving out of this awful weather, I am reminded of this obscure little GBV song I'm Cold

    httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slMDEW4EP2A

    I go outside and it's cold
    I walk downtown and it's cold
    I do everything that I'm told
    The people I meet, so hooked on defeat
    And if it's not one thing then it's ten
    I shouldn't have to be told
    So I just keep moving around
    'Cause I'm cold

    I picked up the pieces that break
    And try not to make a mistake
    and sometimes I'm sick when I wake
    I jump in my car and go to a bar
    Because it's so much warmer in there
    For my decrepit soul
    Then I get back to moving around
    'Cause I'm cold

    All wound up
    All broken down
    Animal person
    Carnival clown
    The only thing that hurts
    Is knowing it gets worse
    As it goes

    I work every day 'til I'm tired
    Emotionally uninspired
    And some think I'll maybe get fired
    But what else is new
    You do what you do
    Because you're told to
    It's something of which I'm really not yet quite sold
    But it must just be a problem with me
    'Cause I'm cold

    1. I gave the new Deathconscious album a listen the other day. Some solid songs, and a lot of stuff that's just going to take some time to sit through. I'm undecided.

  9. 'Blue Money' - Van Morrison His Band and Street Choir
    'Black Gold' - Soul Asylum Grave Dancers Union
    'So Into You' - Atlanta Rhythm Section
    'Talk of the Town' - Pretenders Pretenders II

    'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall' - Coldplay Mylo Xyloto
    'Hey' - Pixies Doolittle
    'Switchboard Susan' - Nick Lowe Labour of Lust

    1. OK, we've got Meat Puppets II, Led Zepplin II, and Pretenders II.
      Anyone want to add to those? Chicago II? Bizarre Ride II?

            1. Ooh, good one. Alex Chilton did a great cover off that record.
              httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BQYudO51LU

          1. I considered MCII but rejected it.
            I also rejected Retribution Gospel Choir's 2, which is sortof an implied Self-titled II (as it was their second album and their first was S/t).

            Using Magoo's link, I see these that I would also recognized:
            Highwaymen II
            JJ No. 2
            Neu! 2
            Styx II

            It's really too bad LWIII (bS's link below) didn't name his second album
            Loudon Wainwright III II
