Friday and the Random 10 (Fill in the Blank Edition)

Sometimes I have a preconceived idea for the Random 10, and other times I hope the music itself will reveal a theme. Today I'm just blah so I will let the music speak to you and you can leave comments on what it should be named. Yay for reader participation! #FutureInternetSensation #ShareThe Love

Now onto some music:

Friday and the Random 10 (Day after Halloween Edition)

Well here I am way too early in the morning (what's up with that?) so I figured I could be productive and knock out the Random 10. Last night was Halloween and tonight is the last Halloween party at Disney. Then the Christmas parties start next week. No really.

So let's see if there is any creepiness left over from last night, or if we go right past that into holiday cheer. Or maybe it's going to be just plain music. You can never tell.

Looking back at last week, I see that Chicago got banned, so there's hope of the Tarkus appearing. As usual, the rules and whatnot are over there → to the right. Allons-y!

1) Trans-Siberian Orchestra/Christmas Concerto - And I'm done. First one up is a holiday song after what I just rambled on about? The gods of randomness are shining upon us favorably today.

2) Chicago/Birthday Boy Dennis DeYoung/It's in Every One of Us - The Tarkus appears and blasts away Chicago, allowing DDY to sing us a song from his album of Broadway favorites. He really does have a great voice.

3) REO Speedwagon/Golden Country - Talk about some old school classic stuff. I believe this is about Vietnam. I love that they still play this even today at concerts.

4) Tommy Shaw/Fading Away - From his debut solo album Girls with Guns. It sounds so 80's.

5) Anthrax/Milk (Ode to Billy) - Okay, I've got to give a shout out to my younger brother Scott for this one. Still cracks me up.

6) Dennis DeYoung/Someone to Watch Over Me - Same Broadway album, but DDY becomes a target for the Tarkus next week. Banned.

7) Enigma/Back to the Rivers of Belief - Where is this river? I need to let my body drift downstream...

8) Chicago/Just You 'N' Me Red Hot Chili Peppers/Fire - Okay, this is an old Jimi Hendrix song. Know how I know that? Because it's on DDY's first solo album Desert Moon. Because when you think Hendrix, you think DDY.

9) Chicago/When All the Laughter Dies in Sorrow Michael Jackson/Black or White - Damn, Chicago is trying hard today. This time they lose out to Captain EO instead. Hooter must have eaten their map.

10) The Alan Parsons Project/The Raven - Yes, that Raven. Like the Edgar Allen Poe one. I always wondered why some prog bands didn't put classic poems and literature to music instead of just using music from composers. I mean it's pre-made lyrics for them.

Well there we go for everyone waking up from their Halloween induced sugar comas. Chicago was banned last week, so counting today they have shown up five times in the last two weeks! To bad they were banned too because #9 has some awesome lyrics. And out of all of that it's DDY that gets the ax for next week. Interesting. The STCS this time around is Magma/Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh. Ummm, what?!? The Hell if I know.

As always, stay cool central Florida and Roll Tide!

Play us out boys!

 

Friday Night and the Random 10

Another week, another Friday night at home. Le sigh.. Anywho, it gives me time to do another Random 10 (and there was much rejoicing in the village!). Ok, yeah I'm in a weird mood tonite so I guess I'll just get this thing done. Here we go:

1) Anthrax/N.F.B. - seriously funny song...I gotta find this on youtube...yes!...I wont ruin the ending!

2) Styx/Fooling Yourself - nuff said, best song by them ever. Killer album cover too:

3) Steve Winwood/The Finer Things - he was really big there in the 80's for awhile...great songs...

4) Apollo 440/Escape to Beyond the Planet of the Super Ape - ummm, yeah I dont know either

5) Cyndi Lauper/Money Changes Everything - yes it does.

6) Black Sabbath/Paranoid - the Ozzman singeth!

7) Bill Joel/An Innocent Man - I love this song because I can so sympathize with it. It does seem I bear the burdens of the females in my life being hurt by someone else. It wasn't my fault, but I have to pay the price for it. So many relationships that could have worked out if only someone else hadn't hurt them before they got to me. It's just my luck every time, and yeah, it sucks...

8) Daft Punk/Outlands Pt.II - from the Tron Legacy soundtrack

9) Eurythmics/The Miracle of Love - didnt know I had this and certainly never heard it before

10) Led Zeppelin/Custard Pie - you know, I just aint that crazy about Zep as some people seem to be.

Well there it is once again. Make what you want of it. I kind of went off there a little bit on the Billy Joel song, but eh, some things just come flowing out sometimes.

Oh, and the Spinal Tap memorial song for this week would have been: REO Speedwagon/Movin'.
