Friday Random Ten – the Is It Snowing By You, Too? edition December 19, 2008 Jill Set your MP3 player to random, and post the first 10 songs that come up. Friday video, because M.I.A. can do no wrong (this is Buraka Som Sistema featuring DJ Znobia, M.I.A., Saborosa and Puto Prata). 1. Kaki King – Doing the Wrong Thing 2. The Notwist – This Room 3.

The Avett Brothers – Pretty Girl at the Airport 9. Quiero Club – Showtime 10. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Black Tongue A song I’ve been slightly obsessed with, and that’s particularly appropriate given the current NY blizzard (and the video is neat, too): More tunes below the fold. An old song but a good song that I’ve had stuck in my head all week: Lykke Li: No video here, but a great track: Happy Friday!

Aw, I was just listening to “Black Tongue” last night while driving the fifty miles to my boyfriend’s house. I’m glad I live in California and that those fifty miles were 100% snow-free (if a little rainy).
Snow? Heck, it’s about 70 degrees outside. (You can hate me now.) My friends and family back in the SF area tell me that it’s below freezing at night. Brrrr… 1. Don Omar – Pobre Diabla 2.
