Friday and the Random 10

I must say, this is my favorite post to write every week. I don't write it ahead of time either or fudge the results. I truly have no idea what will play when I start this. So here I am setting my media player on random and waiting to see what shows up. And away we go!

1) Korn/For No One - Well that was a heavy way to start the day. Not really my style. Just trying them out because of a friend.

2) The Moody Blues/Words You Say - Don't know this song. Very over the top with the orchestra.

3) The Buggles/Living in the Plastic Age - Video winner because a video actually exists of this song:

4) Steve Howe/Cruise Control - From Homebrew 3, which is the third (duh) collection of his at home demos that evolved into other songs or parts of other songs. I was really surprised at how much of Yes' music came from him. This piece eventually became New Languages on The Ladder album.

5) U2/The Fly - I do not really know much, or really cared about their music. This sounds cool though.

6) Yes/Harold Land - Now here's some classic stuff that I've already shared here.

7) Syd Barrett/Waving My Arms in the Air - I tried some of his stuff because of the whole Pink Floyd thing and from an episode of The X Files. IMHO, his music is complete crap and gets the Picard Award (brand new!)

8) ELO/Starlight - I love bands that have a certain sound and no matter what they play you know it's them.

9) Korn/Ball Tongue - I don't even know how to comment on this one. I'm just not a fan of the dark angry music. They might get the (so far unused) Cybermen Award before too long.

10) Phil Collins/In The Air Tonight - You know, the song where everyone (including Mike Tyson) knows the drum parts.

Well there we go for another week. I keep waiting for something new to show up, and for that matter, we haven't seen RW in quite awhile either! No album cover winner this week? Odd. The STCS for this week is Chicago/What Else Can I Say. Good, older stuff from them before the 80's happened.

Play us out Phil! Everyone drum along!

Friday and the Random 10

It's that time again folks! Set that Ipod (if you have one that wasn't stolen Scott..sorry), mp3 player or media player to random and list the first 10 songs that pop up, no matter how embarrassing. Sometimes theres a theme...sometimes theres a pattern....other times it makes no sense. At the very least it can give you an insight into what kind of music I like.

And away we go...

1) The Mars Volta/Aberinkula - this music was recommended to me but I just cant seem to get into it

2) YES/We Can Fly From Here - this is actually the 1980 version (basically a Buggles song) that the new CD is based on. This was a weird time period for YES: no Jon Anderson singing, no Wakeman on keyboards...you know, kinda like right now...

3) AC/DC/What Do You Do For Money Honey - classic album cover here

4) The Beatles/I've Just Seen a Face - yes I have taste

5) Red Hot Chili Peppers/Skinny Sweaty Man - man they seem to show up alot compared to how little of their music I actually have

6) Third Day/Creed - getting into them more and more

7) Alabama/Gulf of Mexico - about the only country music I have but it's Alabama...nuff said

8) AC/DC/Got You by the Balls - Again!

9) Alabama/40 Hour Week - again?...how bout this for the video winner?

10) Cyndi Lauper/Hole in my Heart (All the way the China) - I was a child of the 80's ya know...play us out Cyndi!

Friday and the Random 10

Another week, another date with randomness. Set your Ipod or mp3 player (or media player in my case) to random and list the first 10 songs that pop up, no matter how embarrassing or tacky.

And away we go again!

1) Van Halen/Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now) - with crap like this I can see why VH booted him for Sammy

2) The Buggles/Astroboy (and the Proles on parade) - great album with a great sound...I still dont know what a "Prole" is...give a listen though

3) YES/Owner of a Lonely Heart (Extended Dance Mix) - remember when everything was made into a dance mix back in the late 80's early 90's? Yeah this is a neat little tidbit but no as awesome as the original song

4) Kansas/Nobody's Home - love love love this song...album cover winner here

5) Dennis DeYoung/Call Me - still trying to right the next great love song for the band that doesnt want him anymore...

6) Casting Crowns/Praise You in this Storm - awesome song...I still praise God in the middle of my storms

7) Casting Crowns/Who Am I - wow a double shot of CC! Maybe God is trying to tell me something...

8) U2/Even Better Than the Real Thing - I never got them and still dont see what the big deal is...they did some nice songs but I wouldnt anoint them kings of anything

9) Dire Straits/Money for Nothing - I cant just not show the video for this one

10) Foreigner/Break It Up - from "4" - another awesome album cover!

And thats it for another week. Maybe some RW next time? Until then...YES!
