Did you know that in Australia Shakira’s ass goes counter-clockwise. It’s true. You can look it up

Now then, the random ten with the caveat that all the really bad songs are probably the fault of Barack Obama:

How To Fight Loneliness – Wilco
No Remorse (I Wanna Die) -Slayer & Atari Teenage Riot (Spawn soundtrack)
Hafsol – Sigur Rós
Summertime Blues – Blue Cheer (yeah, that version)
I Can Wait – Steve Earle
Expecting To Fly – Neil Young
Get Outside – Robert Palmer*
Gotta Stay High – New Radicals
Free Love – Long Beach Dub Allstars
Fallen Angel – Elbow
and…… All Your Secrets – Yo La Tengo

* I highly recommend a very young Robert Palmer’s Sneakin’ Sally Through The Alley CD where he is backed by Lowell George from Little Feat and The Meters.
