Friday and the Random 10 (Jamaican Me Crazy with These Long Songs Edition)

So things are finally settling down some. The park hours are cutting back, it's cooling down a bit, and the Electric Light Parade is coming up to its final performance (Oct 9th)! After that, they have no idea what we will be doing at night. No really, there is nothing scheduled as of yet to replace it. Get ready for more Move It, Shake It dance parties!!! Meh.

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 (The Trains Are Back Edition)

At long last our terrible national nightmare is close to being over! A cure for Ebola? No. Glee being cancelled? Not even. The Auburn football team being given the death penalty for excessive cheating? $cam says hi, but not that either...

The Walt Disney Railroad is in the pre-operational testing phase (I have been back in overalls all week, no more bowties) and is "scheduled" to be up and running tomorrow! And it's on my day off, but no worries. The return to normalcy for me begins on Sunday. Whew, we made it!

Friday and the Random 10 (Disney Lingo Edition)

Wow, I am up way too early today. It has been another busy week at work, but at least tonight is another one of those short nights. Not NoJ this time, but MNSSHP. What? You don't speak Disney? That's Night of Joy and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Yes, Halloween. In the middle of September. Bad part is this is already the third one. Third!

Enough of that though, let's get to the music. Looking back at last week, I see that The Beatles got banned, joining RW in being 101. Predictable.

As usual, the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top in the OG.

Who is 102? Let's see...

1) Jethro Tull/Wind-Up - You know what every band needs? A lead singer that plays the flute. This is from the album Aqualung. Sound familiar? Yeah, it's what Ron Burgundy plays on his flute in the Anchorman movies.

2) RW/Slaveman RW/Minas Tirith Frank Zappa/Don't Eat the Yellow Snow - Something new I added this week. Sorry, but it's mostly crap to me. Also:


3) Frank Zappa/Louie Louie - And welcome to being banned. More crap.

4) Porcupine Tree/Blackest Eyes - The album cover winner here describes how I feel when guests ask me a dumb question:


5) Sammy Hagar/Bad Motor Scooter - Back in his days with Montrose.

6) Styx/Put Me On - Back when they seemed to start every album with a JY song. DDY does sing one part though.

7) Daft Punk/Crescendolls - Good. I needed a little credibility. However, this beat is slightly annoying.

8) Starcastle/Forces - Wow, if ever there was a band that wanted to be the American Yes then this is them. I like their music though.

9) Gentle Giant/Alucard - More of that early 70's jazz fusion that seems to be annoying the crap out of me for some reason this morning.

10) Yes/Vevey (Revisited) - A bonus track from the Going for the One re-issue. They were obviously working on a smaller part of a larger song here (probably Awaken) since it is only an organ and harp playing. Yeah, I said harp.

Well there we go for another week. I don't know why I feel irritated by this music today. At least I won't have to listen to Zappa next week because of the banning. I may go back and delete a lot of his inventory. The Beatles are now 102 and able to participate next week. RW has an ROS until September ends.

The STCS is Wendy Carlos/Ending Titles (Tron soundtrack). The original movie where everything had a computer "sound". Makes me want to call DACS.

As always, stay cool and dry wherever you are, and Roll Tide!

Play us out boys!


Friday and the Random 10 is now 10-7 for the week.

Friday and the Random 10

This week, before I even start the randomness, I'm going to give a shout out to a song. You see, I open up media player on my computer and click "music" so it lists every song by artist alphabetically. Then when I right click to "play all" with the shuffle on I start with the same song at the top of the list every week. This means that this song will never show up in the Random 10. So here's to you Abba/Dancing Queen for getting us started, and for leading the way to...

1) Michael Jackson/State of Shock - Featuring Mick Jagger. Not a bad song, but kind of funny to hear them bantering back and forth.

2) Yes/Turn of the Century - One of the most beautiful and romantic songs they have even done. Album cover winner here, and it's not Roger Dean but Storm Thorgerson, who passed away this week so it's only fitting.



3) The Beatles/Please Please Me - Sounds like somebody was in a one sided relationship.

4) Jethro Tull/Up To Me - from the Aqualung album and a first time for them. So they get a "Welcome to the party pal!" award.

5) The Moody Blues/Foolish Love - Never heard this one but it sounds like from when they were popular again slightly in the late 80's/early 90's.

6) Pink Floyd/A Great Day for Freedom - You know of my not so love for PF. This song does nothing to improve my opinion of them.

7) Billy Joel/Leningrad - Is there anything he does that isn't great?

8) Kansas/Mysteries and Mayhem - Now this is some classic stuff probably no one has heard of unless you're really into Kansas. Great older stuff.

9) Aerosmith/Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees) - Live version of the good Aerosmith before everything was a long whiny song that all sounded the same.

10) Pink Floyd/Sheep - Again? Ugh. As musicians I can appreciate their sound though.

Well there we go again, another week in the books. I noticed nothing has shown up yet from all the new stuff I added recently. Oh well, the STCS for this week is The Beatles/Here Comes The Sun. Nice.

Play us out boys!
