Friday and the Random 10 (When It's Over Edition)

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

Here's a picture.

Bandannas are bad-ass

Friday and the Random 10 (Life is Just a Fantasy Edition)

Oh man. Not a lot of time for talk. Too tired. Working the holidays at Disney sucks. Enjoy some music:

Friday and the Random 10 (End of July Edition)

So today marks the end of July and how do we celebrate the end of a month that ends on a Friday around here? That's right, one song for every day of the month! So today instead of a Random 10 you get a Random 31! This ought to make the picture below hella interesting:

Well, got 25 of them...

Friday and the Random 10 (White and Gold Dress Edition)

Apparently the big buzz on the internet though is about that damn dress on the right. Umm, it is totally white and gold and I am not sorry for seeing it that way. Maybe I am just more perceptive than others. I'm sticking with that. Black and blue? I just don't get it.

In other news, February is winding down. Oh man, if only today was the 28th then I could do an end of the month extravaganza. But alas no, we are one day short of that so it's just a basic Random 10. However, we do have some exiles on the island this time so the Tarkus may be lurking around somewhere...

As a quick review of last week, you can follow this link, or check out the artists in 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 (Friday the 13th Edition)

My lucky number has always been 13. I was my baseball jersey number in high school and college. So, Friday the 13th has always been a fun day for me. No bad omens here. However, I do realize tomorrow is "Singles Awareness Day" (i.e Valentine's Day massacre) and if you are out there and planning to propose you might want to hold off. Just saying. You have been warned. And I hope you went to Jared...

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 check out the cool picture below:

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 (The Moment is Coming)

Another Friday is upon us and what a special Friday it is! It's Doctor Who Eve! Yes, the Doctor returns tomorrow. Cannot wait! Until then I will have to pass my time with trivial things like work and, oh I don't know, how about a Random 10!?!

Giving a look at last week I can see that no one got banned or even Tarkus'd. Been awhile for that. As usual the rules and whatnot are over there → to the right.

And now, the oncoming storm!

Friday and the Random 10

Life seems to be getting to that part of year where everything changes. Kids going back to school, football starting soon, etc. One thing you can always count on is the Random 10. I mean, it's become like an institution for ya'll right? (and by ya'll I mean both of my readers). Anyway, looking back at last week, I see no one got banned. Must have been all that RW I deleted. As usual, the rules and whatnot are over there → to the right.

Let's get this party started!

Friday and the Random 10

Another week, another Friday, another chance to be embarrassed by randomness. The way it works is, put your media player (or Ipod/mp3 player) on random and list the first 10 songs that pop up. I usually try to have a winner for video and album cover.

And away we go...

1) YES/Shock the the System - great one to start off...and any YES song gets an automatic album cover simply because theyre just so cool!

2) Jon Anderson/For You - not the country singer but the lead singer of YES (or at least used to be since they replaced him with someone from a tribute band -HERESY!) This is one of his gay solo albums with the musicians from Toto


3) Alabama/Music Loves Me - ok, I'm a southern boy from Bama...I have to have some Alabama in my repertoire (hey did you know you can type that word with just the top row of the keyboard?) 


4) Apollo 440/Tears of the Gods - I have loved these guys since they did the theme song for the Lost in Space movie


5) Tears for Fears/Standing on the Corner of the Third World - yeah I aint ever heard of this one either


6) Thomas Dolby/Airwaves -kinda a futuristic emo


7) Don MClean/American Pie - didnt even know i had this classic. Go here for an interesting explanation of all verses of the song


8) King Crimson/Sailor's Tale - kinda like YES...wildly experimental but too jazzy for me most of the time...Bill Bruford left YES for them and never came back like some of the others except for the ABWH album...he was the "B" obviously


9) Red Hot Chili Peppers/Higher Ground - i like their sound


10) Jane Child/Welcome to the Real World - OMG, I so used to have the hots for her! And crap! I cant find the video anywhere. I'm sure Ive seen it somewhere before. I guess i'll have to let Dolby play us out...

Video Winner:

And RW hasnt shown up yet!
