Friday Random Ten
(forever and eternally yours)

1. Resplendent – Vigilantes of Love (Audible Sigh)
“I can make you promises if you don’t expect too much;
And I will run the distance if you’ll please excuse my crutch.”

2. The Question – Familiar 48 (Wonderful Nothing)
“When the clouds come and the rain falls,
when there’s nothing here to hold on,
will I be there is the question…”

3. A Message – Coldplay (X & Y)
“My song is love, love to the loveless shore;
and it goes on—you don’t have to be alone.”

4. Beautiful Delilah – Stray Cats (Live and in Studio)
“Local Casanova, who would not be outdone,
let her steal his heart away and break it just for fun.”

5. Kensinton – Karl Martino (mp3 download)
“Your hopes and your dreams
Don’t mean that much in Ken-sin-ton…”

6. Possession – Sarah McLachlan (Fumbling Towards Ecstasy)
“The night is my companion, the solitude my guide.
Would I spend forever here, and not be satisfied?”

7. Come Rain or Come Shine – Don Henley (Leaving Las Vegas soundtrack)
“Days may be cloudy or sunny, we’re in or we’re out of the money;
but I’m with you always, I’m with you rain or shine.”

8. Out of My Hands – Bonehead (Fade)
“and I can tell that somehow this all will return,
and be put on me—well, I guess it should…”

9. One Man Wrecking Machine – Guster (Paste 21)
“I wanna relive all my adolescent dreams;
Inspired by true events on movie screens,
I am a one man wrecking machine.”

10. Soldier’s Daughter – Tonic (Lemon Parade)
“So over the hills he’d climb
Just to see her there in time,
Just to watch the sun shine through her dress…”

Disclosures:

Karl,

It’s actually a pretty good song—the foibles of low-cost recording techniques can only mask so much…

Thanks for including me in your “others” list—and as always thanks for the great Mp3 fuel!

Boy, I missed last week and I’m posting on a Saturday. What’s up with this boy?

Last week, I had an excuse though. I was posting my long-delayed 2005 mixdisc which you should go download:

And I can’t wait for that new Guster album. They’re taking pre-orders on Guster.com for $10 (shipping included) and I just don’t have the cash right now.
