I was in NYC last weekend and it was hard to imagine what the Financial District was like before 9/11/01.  I was in class at the time and we just happened to be watching CNN at the time.  Hard to imagine that eight years have already gone by.

This is late this week because I’m working down in Fredericksburg and forgot to write this up ahead of time.  Here is my 10 random songs for August, 7th 2009:

1. Cascada – Everytime We Touch: “Everytime We Touch”
2. Mat Kearney – Nothing Left To Lose: “All I Need”
3. New Found Glory – From the Screen to Your Stereo: “My Heart Will Go On”
4. Maroon 5 – It Won’t Be Soon Before Long: “If I Never See Your Face Again”
5. Eve 6 – Eve 6: “Jesus Nitelite”
6. Sister Sin – Victory Records Label Sampler: “One Out of Ten”
7. Coldplay – Viva la Vida: “Life in Technicolor”
8. Muse – Origin of Symmetry: “Plug In Baby”
9. Muse – Showbiz: “Falling Down”
10. John Mellencamp – The Best That I Could Do 1978-1988: “I Need A Lover”

Like the Twins this year, this list is a middling .500 record.  I’ll stand behind, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9.  What’s on your list for today?

[Note: I’m sure you’ve already seen these lists going around the interwebs, so obviously this isn’t an original idea.  But I still like the idea of posting ten random songs from your chosen music library.  The rules are simple: Play your entire library of songs on random, and record the first ten that come up.  No matter what 10 songs appear, post them.]

It has already been two Fridays since my last Friday 10.  Man time flies . . . time to get back into the swing of things.

Here is my ten for Friday, March 13th 2009, hopefully Hanson won’t rear their ugly mugs again:

1. Yellowcard – Lights and Sounds: “Martin Sheen or JFK”
2. The Smashing Pumpkins – Greatest Hits Disc 1: “1979”
3. Kenny Chesney – Be as You Are: “Sherry’s Living in Paradise”
4. Oasis – (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?: “Champagne Supernova”
5. Tony Tribe – Bob Marley and the Story of Reggae Disc 1: “Red, Red Wine”
6. The Daktaries – This is Daptone Records…: “Eltsuhg Ibal Lasiti”
7. The Killers – Sawdust: “Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll”
8. AFI – Sing the Sorrow: “The Leaving Song, Pt. 2”
9. Bloc Party – Intimacy: “Mercury”
10. Eve 6 – Its All in Your Head: “Hey Montana”

Pretty varied list.  Eve 6 is one of my favorite bands, but “Hey Montana” is the song I skip every time I listen to that album.  I also cannot stand “Champagne Supernova” but that’s only because some people I dislike argue that it is the greatest song ever written.  And they’re not kidding.  Reggae?!  I’m surprised every week.

What’s on your list for today?
