As I have no idea how to go on without a theme and the mp3 jukebox is full, I came up with a kind of game to gain space on the jukebox. I'll play ten songs on shuffle, decide for each song if I want to delete it, skip it or listen to all of it. At the end I choose my favourite of the ten, post an mp3 link and write two or three sentences. Here we go:

1 a slow rip - certainly 2 david byrne - my fair lady -> DELETED 3 devendra banhart - little monkey ... -> SKIPPED 4 royksopp - poor leno -> SKIPPED 5 the raincoats - no side to fall in 6 blonde redhead - missile 7 the five americans - i see the light 8 dido - i'm no angel -> SKIPPED 9 serge gainsbourg - aux armes remixed -> SKIPPED 10 understand - big green eyes

Blonde Redhead, a band I wrote about before, have got an amazing, distinctive female singer with a rather shrill and exuberant voice, stressing the words in an unconventional way but sounding to me extremely musical. Forgot her name, she is Japanese, I think. The male singer is totally the opposite, very cool and controlled, almost a sedative in comparison to her thrilling delivery. The song is dominated by a repetitive keyboard/synth figure. No clue what they sing about on Missile. With her voice it doesn't really matter. Everything which comes out of her mouth is a revelation.
