Welcome to a new and improved, simplified and stripped down Random 10! 

Here's a picture.

Welcome to a new and improved, simplified and stripped down Random 10 13! 

Here's a picture.

Friday and the Random 10 (Batman vs. Superman Edition)

Superman. End of discussion.

Now onto some music:

Friday and the Random 10 (Post Plague Edition)

Oh man, yeah I know I missed last week but I had a good reason: the plague. Yeah I have been kinda sickly which caused me to miss several days of work. Luckily, I had the sick pay on file to take care of it. Now that I am 85% back to "normal" I can try to get things back on track. How about some music?

Friday and the Random 10 (Super Bowl Warm-Up Edition)

Another week, another new format I am going to try. I will get it right eventually. In other news, the Super Bowl is Sunday between two #SEC quarterbacks. That's all you need to know. Prediction: $cam 20, Omaha 13. And then pitchers and catchers report... On with the music.

Friday and the Random 10 (Silence is Golden Edition)

You know, I keep trying with the video/podcast thing and keep running into roadblocks. This week I am just going back to old school while I sort out my options (that and I am so far behind this week I don't have time to do the full version anyway. Sad but true.) Oh well, it's all about the music anyway:

********************************************************************************

Friday and the Random 10 (Halloweenie Edition)

Well, looks like this will be the last Random 10 for October. Halloween is tomorrow night (dangit) so I was one day off from doing a spooktacular countdown. At least when I get back to work it will be the end of the MNSS parties. But hey, Christmas is right around the corner now and those parties start up November 8th! Geez.

Friday and the Random 10 (Broken Down Car Blues Edition)

So yeah on the way home from a magical kingdom Monday I had a bit of a car problem. There was a break in the attachment where the radiator hose goes and all of my water leaked out on the highway. This caused my car to overheat badly (duh) and basically burn itself up. Thanks to a friend I was able to get home and all, but the car is toast. Literally. So now I have no car and no way into work. That's been my week, how is yours?

So last week I celebrated the end of July with a special Random 10 31. That's how we roll around here. Unfortunately that's the only rolling going on lately. Car joke, get it? Anyway, so this week's randomness comes from these albums below:

Friday and the Random 10 (24 Hour Disney Day Edition)

And here we go again. It's the Friday before Memorial Day so what does Disney go and do to us again? Yep, it's that deal where we stay open for a whole 24 hours. I have a 13 hour shift, but at least I am not part of the overnight crew. So to honor all us hard working cast members I am going to copy what I did in this countdown from the previous over-nighter and do a Top 24 list, instead of top 10. Yeah it's one of those special event type things. Next week will return to normal (or for what passes for normal around here).

Even though it does not apply this week, you can still check out last week's Random 10 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 (Arresting Elsa Edition)

So here with are with March coming in like a lamb? Lion? Giant magnifying lens between the sun and Florida? Yeah that one. It was 87 degrees here yesterday. 87 m'effin' 87! Y'all that ain't right. I know you think we are all lucky down here, but we dread the heat like you dread the winter. Let's just say it's a nice place to vacation, but you wouldn't want to live here. By the way, those states that "arrested" Elsa from Frozen because of the cold and snow, please keep her locked up. All of us at Disney would appreciate that for non-weather related reasons. K thanks.

Now on to the reason we are here: random music! So I am setting my media player on random and letting it play, then listing the first ten songs that pop up. That's how it works. As always the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top next to the Home tab.

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 (Disney Chaos Edition)

Well there is certainly a lot going on right now with Christmas coming up. The tree is finally up at the Magic Kingdom (#crooked) since all the parade filming got done this week. Props to my MayKay. I work every single day after today.

There is also the Survivor finale next week, the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special, and bowl season (#RollTide #SEC) all leading up to New Year's Eve. Disney is the one place you do not, I repeat DO NOT want to go that day. It's chaos I tell you! Chaos!

Friday and the Random 10 (Testosterone Edition)

So the time has come to roll out another random 10. Sometimes it feels like a very short week in between doing these. Other times it feels like we week is just empty with nothing to blog about.

I mean I throw different things out there to see if any of them get any traction (like the polls). Also I have long term "projects" like the magnet challenge up top. Also up there is something new this week I'm trying with license plates. I'll see how that goes.

So basically if you have any ideas of something you would like to see every week just hit me with your suggestions. I'll probably make it mine in some weird way, but I will def give you credit for it.

Now let's get back to that music thing. Looking at last week, no one got banned so all is good. As usual the rules and whatnot are up top as well.

Bring it on? Oh it's been broughten!

Meditations Behind the Wheel

Enigma/Sadeness, Part I

Friday and the Random 10 (Where Did July Go? Edition)

Wow, I can't believe it's August already. Seems at Disney we gear up so much for the 4th of July that once it's passed the summer just flies by. Unfortunately the temperatures are not affected one bit. It's still miserable...

Well at least a new month gives us new hope. The Moody Blues could not escape last week's countdown, but at least The Beatles are free as a bird now. As usual the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top.

Let's see what August hits us with...

1) Jane Child/Biology - I've spoken of my crush on her before. I think it was that chain that connected her earring to her nose ring that got me going. Yowza!

2) Genesis/Heathaze - Typical 80's Phil Collins sound.

3) Enigma/In the Shadow, In the Light - Turn everything off and break out the candles...

4) Apollo 440/White Man's Throat - Man so far everything is jazzy and funky.

5) Chicago/Elegy: Canon - Nice, horns only segment of a much larger piece. Album cover winner too:

6) The Human League/Life on Your Own - Another song of theirs I have never heard of, but if you had asked me who it was I could have told you right away.

7) Styx/Kiss Your Ass Goodbye - Glenn Burtnik song when he was still in the band. I love this song.

8) Tommy Shaw/Outside in the Rain - Speaking of Styx, this is when Tommy went solo and left the band to DDY (chills). Burtnik on #7 was actually his replacement.

9) The Moody Blues/Your Wildest Dreams

9) America/Political Poachers - Yeah, umm okay. No idea. I thought they only did love songs and sang about horses in the desert.

10) Velvet Revolver/Psycho Killer - Still haven't gotten into them much yet.

Wow, those Moody Blues don't know when to quit do they? Just one more week and they could have been free and clear, but no they go and get Tarkus'd again. Oh well.

The STCS for the first week in August is Journey/Sand Castles. Bet you've never heard that one have ya? It's from the soundtrack of a Japanese film called Dream, After Dream. It's actually one of my favorite Journey albums. Cool.

As always, stay cool and dry central Florida, and Roll Tide!

I'll let my 80's crush play us out!

Friday and the Random 10 (Too Moody Edition)

So here we go again. Last week was a mess of sorts I suppose. We have The Beatles, Jimmy Buffett and Jimi Hendrix all unavailable for this week's countdown. That's the most I can ever recall at the same time. Don't know what I'm talking about? Check the rules and whatnot up there ↑ at the top.

Moving on. Some of you may wonder how I name each "edition". Well I really have to wait until the end to see how things actually played out. That is how randomness works. Anyway, let's fire up Viggle (yeah I'm still playing with that) and the music and see what we get.

Here we go!

1) The Human League/The Lebanon - Never heard this one before. A whole 80's edition would be awesome though.

2) Trans-Siberian Orchestra/Tracers - One of their non-Christmas CD's. This one was called Night Castle and parts of it are just plain wicked. In a good way.

3) The Moody Blues/Evening:The Sunset:Twilight Time - Awesome album with an orchestra. Album cover winner:

4) The Moody Blues/Running Out of Love - Ugh they can never show up just once it seems. Banned.

5) Joan Jett & The Blackhearts/You Don't Know What You've Got - Keep on rocking you sexy thang!

6) Van Halen/(Oh) Pretty Woman - They got to a point where they did a lot of other people's songs. I don't know why.

7) Jon Anderson/Good Day Morning - Even Viggle couldn't figure out what the Hell Jon was singing about.

8) Asia/The Last to Know - Great, great song from Alpha.

9) The Mahavishnu Orchestra/Sister Andrea - Cool. Haven't heard from these guys in awhile.

10) Enigma/Callas Went Away - Wow, Viggle couldn't sort out the Jon Anderson song, but gets this right away from birds chirping? Dang.

Well there we go for another week. None of the three got Tarkus'd, but The Moody Blues did get banned. Both Jimmy's get set free, but The Beatles still have to wait until the month is over. That's how the rules work.

The STCS this week is Yes/Something's Coming, which is a song I never knew about until I got the YesYears box set. It's from the West Side Story. Yeah, back when they would take popular songs and "Yesify" them. Good, creative stuff.

And there we have it. 

As always stay cool and dry central Florida, and Roll Tide!

Play us out solemnly boys...

Friday and the Random 10 (Fab Four Edition)

Yes, yes I know I skipped last week. Unfortunately this year the 4th of July ('Murica!) landed on a Friday and for a Disney cast member that means no day off and a long shift. A very long shift. Usually 10-14 hours. Hope the rest of you choked on your barbecue...

So getting back into the swing of things I look back and see that Jimmy Buffett got banned so maybe there's a chance the Tarkus can show up. Lost? Check the rules and whatnot up top ↑ there and it will explain all.

Without further ado, let's rock this joint!

1) Kansas/Eleanor Rigby - Yeah the Beatles song. I'm not sure why they decided to remake this one. Doesn't work for me. One of my fave Beatles songs though.

2) The Beatles/Fixing a Hole - Wow, weird. From some album I can't remember.

3) Pink Floyd/Scarecrow - Here we go again. I'm just not getting it, granted this is way old school stuff from them.

4) Enigma/Feel Me Heaven - Always awesome.

5) The Beatles/Polythene Pam - Looks like a man, gets the Fab 4 banned for next week.

6) The Beatles/Ticket to Ride - Say goodbye to July now.

7) Steve Howe/Big Love - The guitar sections on this ended up on the Yes album Union (or Onion).

8) Styx/Show Me the Way - I think this is the last hit song DDY had with the band.

9) Daft Punk/Victory - From the Tron Legacy soundtrack.

10) Foreigner/Lonely Children - Great 70's rock from them. We all know what happened in the 80's. Ugh.

Well there we have it for another week. With all the Beatles showing up I was afraid I was having another media player glitch but it seemed to work itself out. They still get the monthly ban though. Dem rules is rules.

The STCS is Jimmy Buffett/Coast of Marseilles

Yay! Tarkus'd! Let's try that again. The STCS is now Rush/Lessons. Oh yes! I'm even going to give them the album cover winner:

As always stay cool (and dry) central Florida, and Roll Tide!

Might as well let them play us out as well.

Friday and the Random 10 (2 Days to Vacation Edition)

Not much hoopla this time around. Just your basic top 10. I'm two days from vacation so I'm basically mailing this one in. 

As usual the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top. King Crimson got the ban last week so we won't be hearing from them.

Go!

Friday and the Random 10 (Easter Chocolate Edition)

We another week has passed us by yada yada yada. What exactly does "yada" mean anyway? No idea. But I digress. Looking back at last week I see that no one got banned so this week should be smooth sailing. As usual the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top.

No whammies!
