Friday Random Ten — The “Don’t Teabag Me, I’m Having A Bad Hair Day” Edition

Lauren

Yes, I had the opportunity of saying that this week. Don’t ask.

It’s Friday, people, and you know what that means: Fire up your mp3 players, load up your catalog of songs, and set to random play. List the first ten that it spits out and don’t bother skipping the embarassing songs. It adds character.

1) Rufus Wainwright – Poses
2) David Pajo – Francie
3) Das EFX – They Want FX
4) Too Short – Don’t Fight the Feeling
5) Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Black Betty
6) Wilco – Jesus, Etc.
7) Mount Sims – Digital Generation
8) Nina Simone – I Get Along Without You Very Well
9) Suicidal Tendencies – Institutionalized (national anthem of teenage victims of suburban angst, the poor flowers)
10) Nancy Sinatra – Bang Bang

Bonus Track: Wesley Willis – They Threw Me Out of Church

  2. (And yes, that really was the random ten. How I ended up with both “This Will Be Our Year” and “Last Year’s Troubles” on January 6th is a mystery to me, but such is the numinous character of my iTunes library. If I waved my laptop around and clicked the “Shuffle” button, I’d probably be able to find underground water with it.)

  23. Zuzu, if I were not dead-set against coolness self-audit (I don’t pretend I can objectively evaluate my own taste), this is the set I’d want to draw (or at least the best on in awhile). The classic rock staples are good ones, I have a soft spot for the Smithereens, Beck is a groundbreaker, there’s a Tinkers pipe tune, some punk and a punk omage. I could do with some blues (and in fact, Hootchi Cootchie Man came up but due to a bad sector on my iPod the song didn’t play) and maybe some rockabilly. Also, I prefer either the MC5 original or the Rollins/Bad Brains version to the lumbering RATM Kick Out the Jams. But this was pretty good. It was a late-day FRT for me, too. Usually I do in on the morning train, but this Friday I was in pre-game for a court appearance and didn’t get to it until the commute home.
