Friday Random Ten, grinnin' Bug Man Edition

Man, what a goober. Lighting up in a big stoner-style grin for a mugshot. Total doofus.

Course, I've never been arrested, so I don't know how I'd look in a mugshot. I have been fingerprinted by the FBI though. Long story.

Hey! Do I get to feel morally superior to Tom delay now, because he's been booked and I haven't?


Sripped down, old-school, no extras FRT:

1. Atomic Power - Uncle Tupelo.

2. Suffer in Silence - The Frames

3.Flight of The Fire Weasel, Part 1 - The Meat Puppets

4. Why? - Meat Puppets. woo. just had a massive deja vu feeling, with the 2 Puppets songs in a row. Gaa. better go to lunch.

5. There You Go - Jon Langford. member of the Mekons covering Johnny Cash, with Neko Case singing backup. doesn't get much better than this. I'm gonna listen to it twice.

6. You You You - Kevin Coyne. RIP Kevin

7. Imagine...walk on the wild side - the partyparty. I don't even know where the hell this came from.

8 Snow - The Mekons. From WAYback, this was when they not only didn't know how to play their instruments, they had no interest in learning. Postmodern Irony takes DIY to the logical conclusion.

9. Sally - Blue Oyster Cult. odd little demo.

10. Wall of Death - REM. cover of a Richard Thompson song. very cool.



That's it.

  1. Have you ever calculated the odds of randomly generating 2 songs by the same band in a row? Figuring the content of your ipod divided by the number of artists times the binary configuration of pi......well, I ain't much at ciphering, but you know what I mean.

  2. Actually, that's not so far out there...

    but a few FRTs ago, I actually had TWO two-fers show up in a single Random Ten. I took a quick stab at the odds, and it came out on the order of billions to one.

    Still more likely than winning the lottery though. Tax on the mathematically illiterate, as Emo says.
