Man, I wish The Hold Steady would come and play in DC. Crap. I was just checking out their show schedule and they played the 930 Club in August, how did I miss that? Oh well, I’ll catch them next time they’re coming through. Here is my random 10 for Friday October, 16th 2009:

What’s on your list for today?

In just over twenty four hours, I will no longer be single.  Will the music be different on the other side?  We’ll have to wait until next week to find out.  Until then, here is my last random ten songs as a single person:

1. She Swings She Sways – Wasted Love Songs: “Highway”
2. Eminem – The Eminem Show: “Square Dance”
3. Angels and Airwaves – We Don’t Need to Whisper: “Valkyrie Missile”
4. The Academy Is… – Santi: “Unexpected Places”
5. Hellogoodbye – Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!: “Stuck to You”
6. Incubus – A Crow Left of the Murder: “Here in My Room”
7. Something Corporate – Galaxy Sessions: “Airports”
8. OK Go – Oh No: “Let It Rain”
9. Vampire Weekend – Vampire Weekend: “Bryn”
10. Coldplay – Coldplay Unreleased: “See You Soon (acoustic)”

If you haven’t heard She Swings, She Sways, I encourage you to check them out.  I think they’re an Authentic Records band but don’t count on that being correct.  If I remember to edit this post I’ll try to include a video of She Swings.

I felt a bit like a Strib¹ commenter when I typed the Hellogoobye album titile.  Good thing the capital letters were under control.  Seems like Hellogoodbye’s work is getting a bit stale; they must have a new album on the horizon.

Something Corporate is awesome live.  I was walking around Warped Tour between a Finch and New Found Glory’s sets, and just happened to come across Something Corporate’s concert.  I think I may have been on my way to see either The Alkaline Trio or someone like that, but my SC stop was well worth missing bands I already knew.  I need to find out if they make it all the way out here to the east coast.

Except for the Eminem this list is pretty representative of the music that I normally listen too.  Perhaps one country song, and one harder rock song would have really made the sample more inclusive, but I really like this list.  Well that is what is on my list for today, May 29th 2009.

Jessica Simpson just started playing.  I didn’t know I even had any of her music.  Good thing this one came in at number 11 rather than number 10.

What’s on your list for today?

1. Fall Out Boy – Fall Out Boy’s Evening Out with Your Girl: “The World’s Not Waiting (For Five Tired Boys in a Broken Down Van)”
2. Fall Out Boy – Folie a Deux: “Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes”
3. Patsy Cline – Classic Country: Early ‘60s: “I Fall to Pieces”
4. Coldplay – Coldplay Unreleased: “See You Soon (acoustic)”
5. Something Corporate – SoCo: “Pluck”
6. Live – The Distance to Here: “Sparkle”
7. Sum 41 – All Killer No Filler: “Handle This”
8. Switchfoot – Oh! Gravity.: “Faust, Midas, And Myself”
9. OK Go – Oh No: “Let It Rain”
10. Franz Ferdinand – You Could Have It So Much Better: “Evil and a Heathen”

Not really a rocking list which fits an athletic competition. But hey, when you’re not picking the songs, you don’t decide the mood.   Ben Woodside: OK Go says to “Let Make it Rain!”

The game starts at 12:30 EST.  Boo Kansas!

[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.]

Here is my ten for Friday, February 13th, 2009:

1. A Static Lullaby: …And Don’t Forget to Breathe – “Nightmares Win 6-0″
2. Guster: Keep It Together – “Come Downstairs And Say Hello”
3. Modest Mouse: Good News for People Who Love Bad News – “Bukowski”
4. Garth Brooks: Sevens – “Two Pina Coladas”
5. Yellowcard: Lights and Sounds – “Rough Landing, Holly”
6. Unwritten Law: Here’s to the Mourning – “Because of You”
7. Hanson: Middle of Nowhere – “Lucy”
8. blink-182: Greatest Hits – “All the Small Things“
9. Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon – “Brain Damage”
10. Something Corporate: North – “Ruthless”

Crap I jinxed myself. Here’s what I said last week:

To be honest, I’m pretty happy with this list: MMMM Bop isn’t on there.

Damn Hanson. I knew that after mentioning MMMM Bop that one of their songs might pop up this week. I’m not even going to go into why I have that album on my computer besides to say that playing Hanson over and over again is a sure fire way to piss of your neighbors/roommates. Other than the Hanson travesty, I like the variance of this week’s list. I still remember the first time I heard Something Corporate. It happened to be live at a Summer festival and I was impressed how good they were live.

I’m surprised I haven’t more country and old music on these lists yet, but if I had to pick someone representative of that group, Garth Brooks would be my choice. If you didn’t see him perform during the HBO’s Pre-Inauguration Concert, you missed out.
