Friday Random Ten – the Unlucky edition

Jill

The 25th is my most unluckiest day of the month. So I’m glad it’s the 26th — and that somewhere, it’s Friday the 27th.

Anyone else have unlucky days?

1. Beck – I Get Lonesome
2. Tom Waits – How’s It Gonna End
3. Timbaland and Magoo – Luv 2 Luv U
4. The Rolling Stones – Not Fade Away
5. The Bad Plus – Frog and Toad
6. Art Brut – Rusted Guns of Milan
7. Modest Mouse – Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset
8. The Cramps – Garbageman
9. Death Cab for Cutie – The Employment Pages
10. MC Solaar – Caroline

Friday Random Video: My absolute favorite Yeah Yeah Yeahs song of all time. However, it is a very creepy video.

  2. I don’t really have an unlucky day (although there was one Friday, October 13th about 12 years ago that was pretty shitty). Most of my superstitions are sports-related (don’t talk about the no-hitter, etc.), and most of my phobias are bug-related.

    Now for my “Please let me get this job” FRT:

    Artist — “Song”

    Jurassic 5 — “Freedom”
    Sublime — “Live at E’s”
    Thelonious Monk — “Blue Monk”
    Shadowed Beneath — “Fading Regard”
    Opeth — “The Grand Conjuration”
    2Pac — “Fame”
    Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch — “I’ll Fly Away”
    Coal Chamber — “Unspoiled”
    The Roots — “Datskat”
    Cast of Rent — “Finale B”

    Bonus song concerning stuff that isn’t happening enough for me recently:

    Disturbed — “Decadence”

  3. I think I had a French test once for which we had to memorize “Caroline.” Definitely better than Solaar’s “Matière Grasse Contre Matière Grise.” Which I also had to memorize.

  4. oh god I LOVE that art brut song. love love love it!! ah, brits and their cheekiness…

  5. 1. “Roundabout”, Yes
    2. “So Wha’cha Want”, Beastie Boys
    3. “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)”, Bruce Springsteen
    4. “I Believe In A Thing Called Love”, The Darkness
    5. “The Land Of Might Have Been”, Ivor Novello
    6. “Take Me With U”, Prince
    7. “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, The Beatles
    8. “Sulk”, Radiohead
    9. “Behind Blue Eyes”, The Who
    10. “Bust A Move”, Young MC

  6. 1. Hey You by Bachman-Turner Overdrive
    2. The Kid With the Replaceable Head by Richard Hell & The Voidoids
    3. Dangerous Stranger by Be-Bop Deluxe
    4. Louisiana Blues by Muddy Waters
    5. Mellow My Man by The Roots

    8. It Don’t Mean a Thing by Nina Simone
    9. Suffragette City by Seu Jorge

  7. January 11th. Really. 2 years in a row, I got dumped on Jan 11th.

    First guy ended up being 20 year great pal vie email; second guy ended up proposing again and again- married for 15 years this fall. Both turned out okay, but I hated January 11th for a few years.

  9. The 23rd. Every month. It’s horrible, really. And the number itself is like a really bad omen anytime I see it…

    And I’m not even superstitious. =(

  10. My first boyfriend’s birthday was on the 25th! And all through college, he would break up with me just before Christmas then get back together right after Valentine’s- it was as if he was trying to avoid gifts or something! Last time I saw him, his wife was getting popcorn for a movie and about 15 feet away from us, while he was asking me “how long I was going to be back in town”… yikes.

    Avoid the 25th like the plague! haha!
