Friday and the Random 10 (Veteran's Day Edition)

Today is a very special day for the Random 10. It's Veteran's Day and also 11-11-11 (yes I will be rejoicing at 11:11am and 11 seconds). So in honor of our veterans, today's date, Pocky (Wendy will get that), The Big Ten conference (which has 11 teams) and Spinal Tap, I give you this week's Random 10 +1.

1) Boston/Can'tcha Say You Believe in Me - winner right out of the gates...as a matter of fact, everyone gets and album cover today!

2) Christina Aguilera/Hurt - no idea I even had this

3) The Commodores/The Human Zoo - yeah that's right, they're from Alabama

4) Kitaro/Symphony of the Forest - new agey, moody kinda music I never gave much listen to

5) Cyndi Lauper/Time After Time - her best song

6) YES/Countryside - a bonus track from the Tormato times....it just doesnt fit in with the album, and neither does the album cover

7) The Beatles/You've Got to Hide Your Love Away - good advice

8) The Mars Volta/Concertina - I tried to get into this but just couldnt

9) The Beatles/Nowhere Man - another classic and appropriate song

10) Enigma/In the Shadow, In the Light - now this music I love

11) Chicago/Life is What it is - this is like their soft jazzy disco album...yeah it sucks and is a terrible way to end this week's list!

Oh well, that was kind of a let down , but at least i can let Boston play us out:

Friday and the Random 10

It's that time again folks! Set that Ipod (if you have one that wasn't stolen Scott..sorry), mp3 player or media player to random and list the first 10 songs that pop up, no matter how embarrassing. Sometimes theres a theme...sometimes theres a pattern....other times it makes no sense. At the very least it can give you an insight into what kind of music I like.

And away we go...

1) The Mars Volta/Aberinkula - this music was recommended to me but I just cant seem to get into it

2) YES/We Can Fly From Here - this is actually the 1980 version (basically a Buggles song) that the new CD is based on. This was a weird time period for YES: no Jon Anderson singing, no Wakeman on keyboards...you know, kinda like right now...

3) AC/DC/What Do You Do For Money Honey - classic album cover here

4) The Beatles/I've Just Seen a Face - yes I have taste

5) Red Hot Chili Peppers/Skinny Sweaty Man - man they seem to show up alot compared to how little of their music I actually have

6) Third Day/Creed - getting into them more and more

7) Alabama/Gulf of Mexico - about the only country music I have but it's Alabama...nuff said

8) AC/DC/Got You by the Balls - Again!

9) Alabama/40 Hour Week - again?...how bout this for the video winner?

10) Cyndi Lauper/Hole in my Heart (All the way the China) - I was a child of the 80's ya know...play us out Cyndi!
