This is Husky Rescue performing at the 2006 Austin City Limits Festival back in September, and today making an appearance at the bottom of the Friday Random Ten.
- “Who Loves the Sun” – Velvet Underground
- “Iron Man” – The Bad Plus *
- “Prime Directive” – Dave Holland Quintet
- “Shack” – Medeski, Martin and Wood *
- “Wedge” – Phish *
- “Arnold Layne” – Pink Floyd *
- “Zelao” – Vince Guaraldi
- “Animals” – Talking Heads *
- “Confusion is Next (live)” – Sonic Youth *
- “Summertime Cowboy” – Husky Rescue *
I realize that I have seen seven of these acts (marked with *’s) live, but the Talking Heads, which I saw in ’90, was without David Byrne. Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth split the vocals and put on a great show along with Debbie Harry and the Ramones.
James Brush is a teacher and writer who lives in Austin, TX. He tries to get outside as much as possible.
Freaky. I had the same Velvets song in my random ten. So is it really random?
Velvets in the mix is always a good thing. None today, though. As to the randomness, who knows. Sometimes I think Mr. Apple plays favorites.
