Friday and the Random 10 (Gloomy Weather Edition)

I know a lot of yall out there have more reason than I do to complain about the weather but c'mon Florida! Yes it was 84 degrees a few days ago...in February...but two days later it's in the 40's?!? And today its dark and gloomy. Be consistent already! Ugh!

You know what is consistent? That's right, Friday and the Random 10! Looking back at last week, I see that Kansas gets a weekly ban and The Moody Blues get to take the whole month off. Will the Tarkus arise for the first time in 2014? Inquiring minds want to know...

Friday and the Random 10

Well it's been a whole week since Halloween so you know what that means: Disney has gone into full Christmas mode. Thanksgiving? Never heard of it. The only turkeys around here are some of the songs that show up on the countdown. Like for instance, DDY went and got himself banned last week and Chicago got Tarkus'd three different times. This week? Hard to say, but we will see how it goes. Oh, and pass the mashed potatoes...

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 and the Random 10 (When dreams are fading...)

Yeah, I know the blog posts have kind of slowed down a bit. Remember back when I was blogging like all the time? Yeah, that was when I was unemployed. Work takes up so much time now. Heck, I even forgot it was Friday there for a while. But fear not I won't let you  all down!
