Shuffle. Five. Describe.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians- Birds In Perspex<\/a> (live, BBC). One of my favorite RH & Es tunes, this version especially. I played this album (\"Perspex Island\"), David Byrne's self-titled solo album, and Adrian Belew's \"Here\", constantly, the summer of 1994. T'was a summer of pleasant melodic adult-alternative. Though I was only 23.\n
  2. Beck - Sing It Again<\/a>. A simple country waltz: finger-plucked acoustic, brushed drums, piano, some kind of slide guitar haunting the background, a harmonica. I'm sure a lot of people only know Beck's dense, sample-heavy rap and\/or dance songs. But, he has albums full of tunes which sound nothing at all like \"Loser\" or \"Devil's Haircut\"; one of the bleakest records I have is his \"Sea Change\". Quite the talent, that Beck.\n
  3. Sunny Day Real Estate - Song About An Angel<\/a>. My favorite SDRE song. Quiet-loud-louder - repeat, beautifully melodic, and the lyrics are completely unintelligible and impenetrable.\n
  4. Pixies - Santo<\/a>. From their \"Complete B-sides\" collection. The mixed Spanish\/English lyrics and shouty delivery makes this sound like a \"Surfer Rosa\" outtake. But it was the B-side for \"Dig For Fire\", from \"Bossanova\". Shows what I know.\n
  5. Belly - Stay<\/a>.This pretty thing is the last song on \"Star\", closing that awesome album with a sweet, warm hug. A YouTube search for this brings up countless videos of fat bellies, pregnant women, exercise videos.\n<\/ol>\n
