Lauren

Putting my poor sense of humor on display. If you don’t know what the title of this post means, get the Terri Schiavo Status Update Firefox plugin.

If it’s midnight somewhere, it’s time for the Friday Random Ten: Load all your mp3s into your player of choice, set to random, list the first ten that play. This game suitable for people who like lists.

1) Belle and Sebastian – Your Cover’s Blown
2) Beastie Boys – Paul Revere
3) Ramones – Sheena Is a Punk Rocker
(Funny — according to The Cramps, Sheena’s in a goth gang.)
4) Lady Sovereign – Sad Arse Stripper
5) Sean Lennon – Happiness
6) Smokey Robinson & the Miracles – The Tracks Of My Tears
7) Norman Greenbaum – Spirit In the Sky
8) Peaches – Shake Yer Dix
9) Scorpions – Rock You Like a Hurricane
10) Mohammed Rafi – Kya Hua Tera Wada

And an extra five just for the above tastelessness:
11) Madvillain – Sickfit
12) David Bowie – Bring Me the Disco King
13) Petshop Boys – Go West
14) Talking Heads – Same As It Ever Was
15) Har Mar Superstar – Baby, Do You Like My Clothes?

  2. Tracks of my Tears is just an awesome song. Lyrically, it’s kick ass:

    Take a good look at my face
    You’ll see my smile looks out of place
    If you look closer, it’s easy to trace
    The tracks of my tears

    🙂 Oooh and the hydrocodone has kicked in (I’m on it legally, yes). Good night everybody 🙂

  5. 1) The Beach Boys – I’m Waiting for the Day
    2) NOFX – Fleas
    3) The Beatles – Good Morning, Good Morning
    4) They Might Be Giants – Birdhouse In Your Soul
    5) Mindless Self Indulgence – Dickface
    6) Elton John – Jamaica Jerk Off
    7) Sneaker Pimps – Wasted Early Sunday Morning
    8) Sublime – Greatest Hits
    9) Morphine – Shame
    10) Radiohead – Scatterbrain (As Dead As Leaves.)

    I think I’ve got you beat with on the tastelessness front.

  8. All-women FRT, jisti bekosi. Special dedication to the man called Dr. Um, aka CaliCat:

    1) Ting hai 聽海 – Zhang Huimei 張惠妹
    2) Tiankong 天空 – Wang Fei 王菲 (where are all the post-70’s female Chinese pop singers heavily influenced by Teresa Teng?)
    3) Lei de xiaoyu 淚的小雨 – Deng Lijun鄧麗君
    4) Flowers – Émilie Simon (I want to buy you flowers / it’s such a shame you’re a boy / but when you are not a girl / nobody buys you flowers).
    5) Put Him Out – Ms. Dynamite (best response to all those ‘how to keep him even if he treats you like feces’ columns; besides Amanda Mouse’s posts, that is).
    6) 99.9F° – Suzanne Vega
    7) Kaojin wo 靠近我 – Tian Zhen 田震 (skip – don’t want no tears on my keyboard).
    8) Huayang de nianhua 花樣的年華 – Zhou Xuan 周璇 (the song that gave its title to Wong Kar-wai 王家衛’s movie).
    9) Χίλια μπουκάλια καταγής – Sadahzinia (Greek sister, representin’; plus, she got a Philosophy degree from Athens U. and writes child tales under her legal name).
    10) サンキﾕ― thank you (World Peace Now Mix) – Pizzicato Five (Rox, if you’re reading this: I swear I appreciate it ironically).

  9. Wong Kar-wai 王家衛’s movie

    That’s the movie known as In The Mood For Love in English (Huayang nianhua 花樣年華, i.e. “Flowery/Flower-embroidered Years”). In one scene, the song is heard in the background in an “on-demand” radio program.

  13. I think it is–“Sheena Is a Punk Rocker” was a pretty big local hit, though the Ramones never really did break it into the big leagues with it.

  14. Friday Random Ten – Ready to Take on the World Edition

    1) 1 2 3 – Indigo Girls – Live: Back on the Bus, Y’all

    2) Drop the Pilot – Joan Armatrading – Armatrading Greatest Hits

    3) The Gift – Christophe Becke (w/Dialogue by Dawn & Buffy) – (“The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live. For me.” *RSLS now sobbing, picturing the closing sequence of this Season 5 finale* “She saved the world. A lot.”) – Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 5

    4) Dimples – John Lee Hooker – G.I. Jane film soundtrack

    5) Dimming of the Day – Bonnie Raitt – Road Tested

    6) What Better Said – kd lang – Invincible Summer

    7) The Children’s Story – Jerry Goldsmith…

  16. . . .. the Ramones never really did break it into the big leagues with it.

    Oy, Amanda. Before three of them had died and whoever it is sold their songs to sell other McKRAP, the Ramones never sold many records at all.
    No top ten hits blah, blah, blah.

    They just set the volume switch at eleven, they went to London in 1976, Dee Dee yelled 2,3,4, Bonzo Went to Bitbur, and then the Ramones changed the world!

    Gabba, gabba . . . we accept you!
