A Good Friday for Music

Why, it's Friday again! and miraculously, here comes a Friday random music post on, miracle of miracles, a Friday! Hooray! Without any further ado (though this blog needs a bit more ado - needs posts now and again - I've been cleverly disguising my lack of content with big flashy lists and baseball pontification), here it is:

1. Swell Maps - Gunboats
2. Mars Volta - B. Part II - from Scab Dates - wait - can this count? That's just 1 part of a long song - that's not a real....
2. Pere Ubu - Lisbon - we seem to be working our way backwards through their ouvre. Next week, maybe we'll get sad.txt or something....
3. Sonic Youth - Pink Steam - certainly seem to be working a certain vein of music today.
4. Lampshade - Good Day Sunshine - off one of those Mojo compilations. Which don't seem to add much ot the originals - this being a passable cover, but blanded out. Just listen tot he Beatles!
5. Scott Walker - On Your Own Again - nothing bland about Scott Walker.
6. Swell Maps - International Rescue - never try to understand it - so why are 2 songs from the swell maps coming up? have they ever come up before? anyway, no complaints, after all.
7. Byrds - Drug Store Truck Driving Man - any Clarence White appearance is a treat...
8. Neil Young - Welfare Mothers (live - Weld)
9. The Fall - Rowche Rumble - hey! how did I forget to give this any stars? Anyway - back to the jagged guitar music, and welcome to it!
10. Sleater Kinney - The Size of Our Love

So video? I can't say I expected to find anything, but I'm glad I did - here are the Swell Maps, with Midget Submarines:
