  2. I’ve got the special edition up at my place (songs that I’m ashamed to have in my jukebox and that would probably, irrevocably ruin my reputation as a human being deserving of compassion if anybody knew about them). The following ten may or may not be embarrassing:

    1. Margerine Melodie (Stereolab) / 2. Gospel Plow (Screaming Trees) / 3. Quincy Punk Episode (Spoon) / 4. First-Time Mother’s Joy (Mercury Rev) / 5. Drama (L7) / 6. Goodbye-Goodbye (Oingo Boingo) / 7. Lazer Beam (Super Furry Animals) / 8. Letter Bomb (Circle Jerks) / 9. Jelly Roll Rock (The Cramps) / 10. Bye Bye Baby (T-Bone Walker)

  3. Aww – Wesley Willis. Haven’t heard him for awhile – he died a couple years back… diabetes? I can’t remember.

    I like seeing long lost artists of my past on other people’s playlists – makes me want my old harddrive back.

  13. Has Been rocks. Thanks to Ben Folds, I think.

    I’ve got the full edition up at my hole: http://empireofthesenseless.blogspot.com, but here are the Ten:

    1. The Rat’s Prayer from the album “The Soft Boys 1976-81” by The Soft Boys.
    2. Oh, Me from the album “MTV Unplugged in New York” by Nirvana.
    3. Diamond Smiles from the album “The Fine Art of Surfacing” by The Boomtown Rats .

    10. What More Can I Do? from the album “The Brooklyn Side” by The Bottle Rockets.

  14. Getting the hell out of the office any way I can:

    1. The Arcade Fire: Rebellion (Lies)
    2. Me’Shell Ndegeocello: I’m diggin’ You (Like An Old Soul Record)
    3. Bruce Springsteen: Youngstown
    4. Bruce Springsteen: Highway 29
    5. Taj Mahal: Freight Train
    6. Pixies: Vamos
    7. Coldplay: Don’t Panic
    8. Massive Attack: Five Man Army
    9. Kathleen Edwards: Pink Emerson Radio

    2) The Commitments: Do Right Woman, Do Right Man
    3) Pink Floyd: Young Lust
    4) White Stripes: Ball and Biscuit
    5) Bongshang: If & When
    6) Rancid: Ruby Soho

    9) Led Zeppelin: Dazed and Confused
    10) Led Zeppelin: I Can’t Quit You Baby

    Random eleventh) Rage Against The Machine: Year of the Boomerang

    Now, this is more like it. A reasonable limit to the classic rock, a bluesman doing blues and a punk rocker doing blues (Ball & Biscuit is the only straight blues song on Elephant, and it’s my favorite by a mile), and a modern Scottish folk band. No Wicked Tinkers, but they can’t appear in every Random Ten.

  17. This FRT is titled, Explicate This.

    1.) Interpol: Stella Was A Diver and She Was Always Down
    2.) Radiohead: Airbag

    9.) At the Drive-In: One-Armed Scissor
    10.) Nirvana: Pennyroyal Tea

  18. I’ll be a total snob and score everyone’s list on how many songs in it I know and like. A low score may just indicate that I don’t know the stuff, so don’t worry.

    Lauren: 0 (despite lots of artists I like, I don’t know the material)
    Norbiz: 0 (way more punk than me, I guess.)
    Randomliberal: 2 (plus 5 bonus points for having the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Immortal on the same list)
    Linnaeus: a whopping 7 (I gave you Primitive Radio Gods cause, to this day, I can’t decide if I like it or not, but I didn’t give you Weezer, cause anything after Pinkerton makes me very very sad.)
    drilakila: 1 (Some artists I know, but hardly any songs. Big props on The Cure)
    Sophist: 3 (Stretching the rules, I gave you Pavement cause they’re my new favourite band, even though I don’t know the song. I also gave you Mitch Hedberg.)
    Gelnnrwordman: 0 (I really want to give you Prince, but I already bent he rules and I don’t want to make it a habit.)
    Brian: 2 (High five on The Cure)
    Jen: 2 (but 4 in spirit – I love The Boss)
    thomas: 5 (and props for reminding me of high-school – I was big into Zep, Floyd, and RATM back then)
    Sina: 6 (a proud acheivement, second only to Linnaeus. His taste and mine are twins seperated at birth.)

    Well, that’s was horrifically self-indulgent. Deal with it, after this week I’ve earned it.

  19. 1. Said It Too Late – Silkworm
    2. You’re All I Need to Get By – Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell
