Friday and the Random 10 (Tempus Fugit Edition)

Well another Friday is upon us and you know what that means! No, Von sitting at home without a date is not the answer (though sadly true). This is Spring Break week for me and my girls, but they've had more free time than I have. So I've taken some time away from our movie marathons and hours of Kingdom Hearts to spread a little randomness into everyone's week. I hope it doesn't suck like last week...

1) Genesis/It's Gonna Get Better - they cranked out some awesome music for awhile there back in the 80's until Phil went all solo

2) Alabama/Moonlight Lounge - I deleted alot of their stuff after last week but it looks like some of it is still trying to break through

3) The Beatles/Dizzy Miss Lizzie - way way old stuff from them...back when they sounded like everybody else...not impressed

4) ABWH/Themes - easy album cover winner here...this hangs over the couch in my living room

5) YES/Tempus Fugit - wow, back to back "alternate" YES bands...this was the first album without Jon Anderson...RW was also gone, but sadly not for the first time...all this mess is what started the dominoes falling which eventually led to ABWH...people wanted out, people wanted to move forward, enter The Buggles, and so on and so forth...this is also where the idea from the 2011 YES album Fly From Here originated all those years ago...yes, how time flies...

6) Alabama/Gonna Have a Party - again?...what the hell?... I've got more deleting to do...

7) Camel/Survival - I really need to listen to these guys more...very very nice smooth sounding music

8) Styx/Golden Lark - a really nice DDY song from Man of Miracles..at least it's not a love song

9) Led Zeppelin/The Rain Song - I still cant get into Zep that much...some of it rocks but I don't like the bluesy whiny stuff

10) YES/Yours is No Disgrace - Epic song. Epic album. Epic lyrics.

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.

Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,

On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,

If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace.

Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are,

Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are,

Lost in summer, morning, winter, travel very far,

Lost in musing circumstances, that's just where you are. 

Well there goes another week, but I know I have one less reader from now on (RIP Donna). The Spinal Tap Commemorative Song for this week is Casting Crowns/Stained Glass Masquerade. Good song but I'm gonna let ABWH play it out...
