Friday Random Ten V
It’s Friday morning yet again—time to set the digital music machine to random and see what comes up.
1. The Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes and the Pride of Life – 77’s (Live at the LPPOA)
2. Run to the Water – Live (The Distance to Here)
3. Rosealia – Better than Ezra (Deluxe)
4. Pantala Naga Pampa – Dave Matthews Band (Before These Crowded Streets)
5. A Whisper – Coldplay (A Rush of Blood to the Head)
6. Run, Baby, Run – Sheryl Crow (Tuesday Night Music Club)
7. Almost Blue – Elvis Costello & the Attractions (The Best of Elvis Costello & the Attractions)
8. Babylon II - David Gray (White Ladder)
9. Beautiful Delilah (Live) – Stray Cats (Live And In Studio)
10. Windmills – Toad the Wet Sprocket (Dulcinea)
I’ve noticed the more dedicated “Random Ten” bloggers among us have taken to giving informal awards to various songs of the Ten that pop up in this little exercise. So here’s a couple from me:
1. Best unexpected song segment: the little ending of “Rosealia” that I always forget is coming (which segues into my next award…)
2. Best transition between two songs on this list: “Rosealia” to “Pantala Naga Pampa” (I am gulp a DMB fan for the past eleven years or so, but this one always earns a skip from me, except this time skipping would have breached Random Ten ettiquette?)
3. Song that’s actually a reprise on the album, but deserves to take the place of the version it’s reprising: Babylon II (much better version, in my opinion, than the one most people heard on the radio)
That’s all—go spin your own list.
