Still not ashamed...

Friday and the Random 10 (Comeback Edition)

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends! Or well, apparently it did end about a year  ago (last one was 6/9/17). It got to be way too time consuming so welcome to a new and improved, simplified and stripped down Random 10!

Deep Cuts and Hidden Gems: ELO/Time (Bonus Tracks)

Sometimes, there are some songs that get lost on albums (or are left off the album altogether) that are truly great. Most of the time it isn't even recognized until years later. So this is a spot where I would like to put those songs in the spotlight for everyone to hear, and hopefully appreciate like I do.

Now here is a pair of songs from ELO's album Time, a concept album about a man out of time, from the 80's but lost in the future of 2095. They were included as bonus tracks from a 2001 re-issue, but were originally the b-sides for some of the singles for this album. That is where I first heard them and think of them as a pair.

"Julie Don't Live Here Anymore" was the b-side to the single "Twilight". It's a sad song about going to where his girlfriend used to live, finding everything so different and changed.

The next song is "When Time Stood Still", the b-side to "Hold On Tight". This one is just haunting.

Hope you enjoyed.

Spread the love!

Friday and the Random 10 (Year of Hell Edition)

So if there was any good news at all coming out of 2016 it was that three of my favorite bands made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not that it matters much anyway, the place is a sham, but to be inducted this year are YES(!), Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and Journey.

This week's countdown, and the first for 2017, will be 16 random songs from these bands and no one else. It's the only way to send out the Year of Hell*.

Let music take the pain of 2016 away!

Friday and the Random 10 (Triskaidekaphobia Edition)

Florida is still not cooperating y'all. They filmed a lot of the Christmas Day events at the Magic Kingdom this week (in case of bad weather) and most of the time it was a chilly 90+ degrees. It just ain't right. I'm gonna move to Michigan, or Hoth, I hear they're about the same in winter...

Anyway, at least there is one thing to perk me up a bit. Today is one of my favorite days: Friday the 13th! I have detailed before my love for thirteen. Wore it all through high school and college. So, when the Random 10 falls on this particular day I get to share more songs.

The Lucky 13:

Friday and the Random Ten (Smoke on the Water Edition)

Time for things to get back to normal around here, but I can't believe it is already the middle of September. You know what that mean at Disney right? Yep, Halloween parties! Ugh. The first one was on the 15th. Like three days ago the 15th. Of September. Disney has to milk that cash cow as much as they can. Not a holiday I care much for in the first place. Oh well, let's see if the Random 10 is down with it.

Friday and the Random 10 (Xanadu Edition)

You know, I was looking at last week's Random Ten and, like all the others before it, I kinda realized that the picture for the post has nothing to do with the current post itself. So this week I am calling an audible and trying something new. The following picture contains the albums from today's Random Ten:

Friday and the Random 10 (NFL Draft Edition)

The only thing I care about when it comes to the NFL draft is where my Bama boys go. The first round had only one Alabama player taken (Amari Cooper, #4 to the Raiders), but he's a stud. Raider nation, you guys will love him. Hopefully tonight more will have their names called. #RollTide

But for now, I am going to see how the Random 10 matches up with the first ten picks in the draft. Before we get started though, how about that Random Ten last week? You can take a quick review by following this link, or trying to figure out the artists from the cool picture below: 

As always the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top next to the Home tab.

Friday and the Random 10 (Shine a Little Love Edition)

You know, I could write something clever here, but I am not sure anybody even reads this anymore. I am just going to jump right into the music. Before we get started though, how about that Random Ten last week? You can take a quick review by following this link, or trying to figure out the artists from the cool picture below:

Friday and the Random 10 (Friday the 13th Part II Edition)

Because of a cosmic coincidence we have yet another Friday the 13th just four weeks after the last one! Course it also has to do with February having 28 days and whatnot as well. The next and last one for the year is in November (I just checked). Who cares about the reason? It just means we get more bang for our buck today. The music count continues...

In keeping with the ever growing and evolving list of traditions around here, this countdown will feature not ten, but thirteen songs. But first, as a quick review of last week, you can follow this link, or try and figure out the artists from the cool picture below:

Friday and the Random 10 (5 Star Edition)

Well how was that for a Super Bowl? Not bad huh? I wasn't too far off with my prediction of New England by a score of 33-30 (it was actually 28-24). Seriously though Seattle, run the damn ball.

In bigger and better news though, Bama pulled in yet another #1 recruiting class. Ho hum. It would be really nice if we got some to stay for the senior year instead of bolting for the NFL. That's what happens when you sign all those 5 star recruits. #BamaProblems

Let's see how many stars this week's Random 10 would get! But first, as a quick review of last week, you can follow this link, or check out the cool picture below:

Friday and the Random 10 (Halloween Edition)

Okay so I have been trying to decide what I wanted to do special for the Halloween version of the Random 10. My first thought was to expand it to thirteen for all the triskaidecaphobics out there. Then I realized that I reserve that for the Friday the 13th's that roll around occasionally. 

My only other option (since it is the last day of October) was to just go ahead and hit everyone with 31 songs. Consider it a giant grab bag of candy. I am sure everyone will find something that they like.

Friday and the Random 10 (Zig Zaggety Edition)

Man, the life of a Disney cast member can be so time consuming during the summer. There is always a need for you to work somewhere so it's not unusual to put in 60-70 hours a week for several weeks in a row if you can handle it. I am in the middle of a stretch like that now.

I certainly do not get to blog as much as I want to, but I do try to update Twitter or Instagram with stuff where I can to fill in the gaps. You should be able to see them over to the right of this blog. Follow me there for more of my day to day life, especially if you are interested in the Disney side of cast member life.

And now for the real reason everyone is here. Last week's countdown was pretty straightforward with no one getting banned so everyone is fair game. I'm still thinking about that "Viggle" rule though. As usual the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top.

On with the show...

Friday and the Random 10 (NFL Draft Edition)

Well the NFL Draft is finally upon us. The only thing I really care about is seeing where my Bama boys go, and to a lesser degree who the Falcons pick. You know's better? Seeing what music pops up on my random ten.

Last week may have been the best one ever, with no bannings and such. As usual the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top.

The commissioner has the card, and the top ten music selections are in:
