Can spring be in the air by Jamuudsen
Welcome to the Groundhog Day edition of the Friday Random 10. Blogging has been light this week because I’ve been mucho busy at work. The follow up posts from last week’s Geek Dinner IV are in the works. I managed to register Flackadelic.com and connect it (with the help of Joey) to this here blog. Rounding out site tweaks, I plugged a Last.fm widget of my weekly top artists into the sidebar.
Here are 10 random songs from my iTunes party shuffle:
1. Some Girls are Bigger Than Others by The Smiths
2. Can’t Hold the Monkees Down by Christina Aguilera vs. the Monkees
3. So. Central Rain by R.E.M.
4. Something On by the Tragically Hip
5. Demon Days by Gorillaz
6. You Wreck Me by Tom Petty
7. Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones
8. Accidental Babies by Damien Rice
9. Distractions by Zero 7
10. Everything’s Alright Still by Lilly Allen
notes:
- Good to see a Hip song made the list. (Not entirely surprising considering I’ve got 167 Hip songs on my MacBook Pro). I think I’ll dig out our copy of the classic Hip bootleg Roxy and Elsewhere this weekend. It has the classic “Killer Whale Tank” version of New Orleans is Sinking and the “Double Suicide” version of Highway Girl. It is only six days until the Hip show at the ACC.
- Ruby Tuesday deserves to be on Rolling Stone magazine’s top 500 songs list. I loved how it was used in the Royal Tenenbaums
- I’m enjoying Lilly Allen. Her debut album went on sale in the US this week. From LillyAllenMusic.com: “The wait is over! US fans can now get their hands on Lily’s sensational debut ‘Alright, Still’ instore now! As well as her UK No.1 hit ‘Smile’, the album features the classics
‘LDN’, ‘Littlest Things’, ‘Alfie’ and fan favourite ‘Nan, You’re A
Window Shopper’.” Does anyone else think its lame that we have wait so long for overseas releases? Aren’t we in a brave new world of music distribution?
