Friday Random Ten XLI
(the ones who never got tired)
1. Rushing – Moby (Play)
(alas, a lyricless number)
2. What’s Your Name? – Adam Again (Perfecta)
“Hey … what’s your name?”
3. I Will not Eat the Darkness – Over the Rhine (Good Dog, Bad Dog: The Home Recordings [indie release])
(yet another lyricless number)
4. Valley Winter Song – Fountains of Wayne (Welcome Interstate Managers)
“Your daddy told you when you were a girl
the kind of things that come to those who wait.”
5. Are We Afraid – Toad the Wet Sprocket (In Light Syrup)
“Were we just asking
for something to come our way?”
6. Come Get to This – Marvin Gaye (The Very Best of Marvin Gaye)
“Ooo remember, baby, how you made me feel just like a king?”
7. Cash Cow (A Rock Opera in Three Small Acts) – Steve Taylor (Squint)
“The golden Cash Cow had a body like the great cows of ancient Egypt, and a face like the face of Robert Tilton, without the horns…”
8. Hey Jealousy – Gin Blossoms (New Miserable Experience)
“If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago,
I might not be alone…”
9. Private Universe – Crowded House (Recurring Dream)
“It feels like nothing matters in our private universe…”
10. Desire – Toad the Wet Sprocket (Coil)
“I don’t need anything;
I’m just wanting, just wanting…”
Surprised that I don’t get more lyricless tracks in these lists—I’ve got so many instrumentals on the hard drive. No favorites today; they’re all pretty good.
Who else is spinning? A Philadelphia Story, Ben, Brian, Luna, Marisa, Mark, Sherri
