Friday Random Ten
(bigger than any big idea)
The hardest part is
resisting the urge to skip
if bad songs persist.
1. New Test Leper – R.E.M. (New Adventures in Hi-Fi)
“’Judge not lest ye be judged’ – what a beautiful refrain”
2. Peace on Earth – U2 (All That You Can’t Leave behind)
“They say that what you mock will surely overtake you,
and you become a monster so the monster will not break you.”
3. Worldwide – Adam Again (Dig)
“Don’t think I’ll ever understand it;
don’t think it matters if I do.”
4. Time Ago – Black Lab (Your Body above Me)
“All by ourselves, riding in the front seat, watch the sun come up.”
5. Good Luck Charm – Vigilantes of Love (Audible Sigh)
“The candles on the inside, they are flickerin’ out
with the things they don’t tell you about.”
6. Texarkana – R.E.M. (Out of Time)
“I would give my life to find it, I would give it all;
catch me if I fall”
7. Kid Gloves – Fountains of Wayne (Out-of-state Plates soundtrack)
“And the road wrapped around me, the long lonely highway,
gulped down by a Greyhound.”
8. Forgotten Years – Midnight Oil (Blue Sky Mining)
“How many dreams remain?
This is a feeling too strong to contain.”
9. Typical Situation – Dave Matthews Band (Under the Table and Dreaming)
“Why are you different? Why are you that way?
If you don’t come around, we’ll lock you away.”
10. Lonesome Johnny Blues – Cracker (Kerosene Hat)
“Trouble dumped out the trash, ransacked the place for cash,
and he wound up taking much more than I own.”
A list of those not listless: Andrea, Ashley, Ben, Ellen, Fred, Matt, Sherri
Favorite: 10 (an easy choice, even though I like many of these songs quite a bit).
Seen live: 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 & 10
