Friday Random Ten, Black Sheets of Rain version

No Self coolness audit. As my favorite troll, Nonnamuss, would say, I'm a loser and I need to get used to it. No Toby Keith on here.

Oh, this is also the 20th anniversary soiree and annual SummerKill Careen version. See you all tomorrow, right?


1. Muse - Falling Away With You. All the things the Darkness never quite pulled off.

2. The Loud Family - Way Too Helpful. Something that can't be said about our response to the hurricanes destruction.

3. The Bottle Rockets - Baby's Not My Baby Tonight. Here's your Southern Rock. Throw out yer Lynyrd Skynyrd!

4. They Might Be Giants. - Renew My Subscription

5. Dollar Store - Working Line. Deano, ex-Milwaukeean, co-singer of the Waco Brothers. There's your Mekon connection!

6. Dropkick Murphys - Take It Or Leave It

7. Todd Rundgren - Hit Me Like A Train

8. Talking Heads - A Clean Break (Let's Work)

9. The Alarm - Legal Matter

10. XTC - Burning With Optimism's Flames.

11. Brother - Believe Again. The best Australian anthem- oriented rock band that wears kilts and plays bagpipes.

12. Camper Van Beethoven - That's All For Everyone



That's the FRT, bonus two. A nice optimistic, forward looking set, after another not so good week.
