The only heating available is from the cabin’s fireplace which should be fun.  We’ll be staying at a place called Lost River State Park.  If the rain stays away it should it should be a great weekend to be outdoors; and even if it doesn’t stay away, we’ll get a lot of reading done and have plenty of time to play some games.

Friday Random 10 Songs:

1. The Teeth – Worn and Grazed: A Park the Van Sampler: “So Long”
2. Rise Against – Siren Song of the Counter Culture: “Swing Life Away”
3. The Beatles – 1: “She Loves You”
4. FM Static – Critically Ashamed: “The Video Store”
5. Green Day – American Idiot: “Are We the Waiting”
6. The Clash – London Calling: “Clash City Rockers”
7. Bob Dylan – The Best of Bob Dylan: “Hurricane”
8. Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication: “Californication”

It always seems that the end of July coincides with the end of summer, even though there is little different between July and August.  I guess we ought to just celebrate the remnants of summer.  With that in mind, here are 10 random songs for July, 31st 2009:

1. Kings of Leon – Only by the Night: “Use Somebody”
2. Franz Ferdinand – You Could Have It So Much Better: “What You Meant”
3. The Starting Line – Direction: “Birds”
4. Green Day – Warning: “Church on Sunday”
5. Thursday – Full Collapse: “Cross Out the Eyes”
6. Thursday – War All the Time: “Division St.”
7. Dave Matthews – Some Devil: “Some Devil”
8. Steve Miller Band – Steve Miller Band Live!: “Abracadabra”
9. Guster – Parachute: “Scars & Stitches”
10. OK Go – Oh No: “Here It Goes Again”

Warning is easily the Green Day album I’ve listen to most.  That cd didn’t come out of my car player for weeks.  “Cross Out the Eyes” is probably my favorite Thursday song, at least that I can think of off hand.  I need to revisit their albums still this summer.  Lo and behold, another Thursday song pops up next, funny how that works.  I’m not much of a Dave Matthews fan, but the music has its time and place I guess.  For some reason I much prefer Guster to DMB, but who knows why.

I think this list fits summer pretty well.  What’s on your list 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.]

I had a short week, working essentially Wednesday through Friday, we’ll see if my list reflects my week.  Here is my ten for Friday, February 20th 2009, hopefully Hanson won’t rear their ugly mugs again:

1. Sum 41: Underclass Hero – “So Long Goodbye”
2. Dashboard Confessional: The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most – “Again I Go Unnoticed”
3. Green Day: Warning – “Blood, Sex and Booze”
4. She Wants Revenge: This Is Forever – “Rachael”
5. The Bravery: The Sun and the Moon [Sun Edition] – “Believe”
6. Matchbook Romance: Voices – “Monsters”
7. Third Eye Blind: Blue – “An Ode to Maybe”
8. Dynamite Boy: Punk Goes Pop – “I Want It That Way”
9. The Beatles: Abbey Road – “Here Comes the Sun”
10. Cold War Kids: Loyalty to Loyalty – “I’ve Seen Enough”

Hey a good list this week.  Although any rendition of “I Want It That Way” is inherently terrible, but “I’ve Seen Enough” and “Rachael” are some of my current favorites and a lot of the other songs are ones I’ve listened to quite frequently.  I’d say this list is a pretty fair representation of what types of music I was listening to on this short week.

What’s on your list for today?
