the smedley log - suburban scrawl

Friday random ten
(just like a de-tuned radio)

Ventriloquist – John Francis
Karma Police – Radiohead
Christian Street – Marah
Red, White and Blue – The Lost Dogs
When Love Comes to Town – U2
Long Shot – Aimee Mann
Hey Jealousy – Gin Blossoms
Grace – U2
All Kinds of Time – Fountains of Wayne
The Ocean – Dar Williams

Favorite track (at the moment): “Karma Police”
Local flavors: John Francis and Marah (two of Philly’s best, imho)
Just in time for pigskin season: “All Kinds of Time”

I might not be alone:
Ben, Cziltang, Fred, Jess

[…] The Smedley Log (Ah, “Karma Police”: one of those few songs that’s as good as it is popular) […]

And Marah’s greatest song, too (IMHO).

Ah, Gin Blossoms. Ever so good.

Mark – absolutely one of their greatest. I just have difficulty evaluating their catalog when so many of their songs strike me as great.

Eric – I also appreciate a decent showing by the Gin Blossoms, though “Hey Jealousy” took longer to grow on me than most of their stuff. I don’t quite know why.
