Friday Random Ten X (… a time for different colors, different names you find it hard to spell)

Steve warned me about the Roman numeral issue, but I can’t be stopped. Time again to fire up the digital music player and skip around a little.

1. Run On – Moby (Play)
2. 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy) – Simon & Garfunkel (The Essential Simon & Garfunkel)
3. Tonight, Tonight – Smashing Pumpkins (Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness)
4. Amy’s Song – Switchfoot (New Way to Be Human)
5. Falls to Climb – R.E.M. (Up)
6. Imagine That – Lost Dogs (Little Red Riding Hood)
7. Black Eyed Gypsy – The Prodigals (Go On)
8. What a Good Boy – Barenaked Ladies (Gordon)
9. Miss Sarajevo – The Passengers w/ Luciano Pavarotti
10. DND - Semisonic (Feeling Strangely Fine)

-Best mood song on the list: 59th Street Bridge Song (always kind of makes me feel, well, groovy)
-Longest album on the list: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (sorry, no groovy feelings there)
-Best Irish ballad not featuring an international opera star: Black Eyed Gypsy – Percentage of performers on today’s list that I’ve seen in person: about 18% (saw U2, but no Eno or Pavarotti)

Friday Random Ten – 07.29.05

Time for Friday Random Ten, where you hit shuffle on your favorite digital music player (for me my Windows MediaPlayer at work) and report on the first ten songs that it spits out. Busy day, so no links and no

Hello Lampost, what cha knowing? I’ve come to watch your flowers growing. Ain’t ya got no rhymes for me, do do do do… feeling groovy…

Sorry, I had to. One of my very favorites.

I’m with you, Melissa. I think I first remember hearing that song on an old cassette my mother had. Like I already noted, it always has a positive effect on my mood.

Besides the song, does that quote within the title have any topical significance?
