Friday Random Ten - Three Posts in One Hour!!! Edition

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.
Also via Roxanne...

1. Your Skull is Red - Team Sleep: Kind of wanky, but Chino from the Deftones gets bonus points for being Chino from the Deftones. 6/10
2. Airbag - Radiohead: Less wanky, but Thom Yorke gets negative bonus points for getting even wankier later. 6/10
3. Happy - Fischerspooner: It's no "We Need a War", but it'll do. 7/10
4. I Predict a Riot - Kaiser Chiefs: I predict a sophomore slump. 3/10
5. Dreams - TV on the Radio: A cool soundscape. 6/10
6. It's Over - the Fire Theft: Better than Sunny Day Real Estate? I think so. 7/10
7. The History of the World, Pt.1 - the Damned: The Damned haven't aged as well as many of the acts of the era. 5/10
8. Another Velvet Nightmare - Frank Black: The album comes out on TUESDAY! 10/10, bitches!
9. Butterflies & Hurricanes - Muse "Change/everything you are/and everything you were/your number has been called..." All this and a piano cadenza. How did we get so lucky? 9/10
10. The Scarlet Thing in You - Peter Murphy: Red-themed bookends. I'm not sure I want to know what the title refers to, though. 4/10

Update: With the new Frank Black album coming out Tuesday, you can file this under an embarrassment of riches. Huge!
