Having successfully slain Oracle, I can now do this...<\/p>\n

Random five, describe:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sonic Youth - Kim's Chords<\/a>. Don't know this one. Not very interesting. Takes a long time to not really go anywhere. It's an instrumental, though, which saves me from having to complain about them singing the same things in the same way they've been singing things for the past eighteen years. I'm so not interested in new SY. Oh well.\n
  2. Police - Masoko Tanga<\/a>. A snappy tune from their first record, with mumbled nonsense lyrics. There's some wicked playing from Sting and Stewart on this, and Andy holds it all together with his steady spiky reggae chords. Precedes the Heads' \"I Zimbra\" by a year. The Beatles' nonsense-lyric song, \"Sun King\", precedes this by nine years, of course.\n
  3. Portishead - Undenied<\/a>. Man, their first two records were just awesome, weren't they?\n
  4. The Doors - Tightrope Ride<\/a>. A post-Morrison song in which the remaining three Doors get an early R&B Rolling Stones sound going. There's a bridge that shifts to a standard mid-era Doors vibe for a half minute or so. Dislike that part. Ray's voice is surprisingly decent here, even when he slips into Morrison-esque phrasing here and there.\n
  5. Robyn Hitchcock - September Cones<\/a>. A solo-acoustic tune very much in the \"I Don't Remember Guildford<\/a>\" vein. Not crazy about this one, though. I think it's the vocal melody - doesn't really grab me like \"Guildford\" does. Since this is an outtake, I won't count it against him.\n<\/ol>\n

    Right.<\/p>\n
