"Oh How They Come and Go"

A bit of a David 'best of' in some ways - it's a mix cd from him, from several months back - with tracks from Spoon, the Flaming Lips, Thom Yorke, Julian Casablancas, "River Man", "I See A Darkness" (the Johnny Cash version) and others. I hadn't heard either the Spoon or Yorke songs ("Tear Me Down", which is kind of Television-y and very Spoon, and "Hearing Damage", respectively). Best, for mine, is "Hideaway" by Karen O and the Kids (off the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack), saved for last, which, slow and end-of-the-worldly, sounds like it was recorded by some lost Velvet Underground-associated chanteuse some time in the 60s, equal parts Nico and Nancy Sinatra.
