    Random 10: November Rain 

    I’ll be at a hearing at a DC court almost all day, but here is my random songs for Friday, November “The 13th” 2009:

    1. Bowling for Soup – A Hangover You Don’t Deserve: “A-Hole”

    2. The Killers – Sawdust: “Sweet Talk”

    3. Jeff Tweedy – Sunken Treasure: “Family Gardener”

    4. Wilco – A Ghost Is Born: “At Least That’s What You Said”

    5. The Hold Steady – Live @ Virgin FreeFest: “Navy Sheets”

    6. Elvis Presley – Elvis vs JXL: “A Little Less Conversation”

    7. Aerosmith – Big Ones: “Livin’ on the Edge”

    8. The Smashing Pumpkins – Greatest Hits: “Today”

    9. The Hold steady – Live @ West End Cultural Centre Winnipeg: “Cheyenne Sunrise”

    10. Oasis – Don’t Believe the Truth: “Turn Up the Sun”

    This list just kept going.  Besides the Aerosmith and Oasis, these are all songs that I regularly listen to in my collection.  Thanks to Andrew [go Bulldogs!] who directed me to the Jeff Tweedy/Wilco EPs that are available online.

    Do you like The Hold Steady or Liffter Puller?  Then you need to go to their Live Taped Shows archive, which is where their live cuts on this list originated.
    Finally, I’m going to end with two Pumpkins songs: “Today” and “Tonight, Tonight.”  The “Tonight, Tonight” single cassette tape might be the first actual commercially produced cassette tape I ever owned:

    Today [Listen on posterous]

    Tonight, Tonight [Listen on posterous]

    It seems like this is the only type of post I ever have time to do anymore.  But because of time commitments it will have to do for now.  I like the Killers and “When You Were Young” is my second favorite Guitar Hero song to play after Rise Against’s “Prayer of the Refugee”.  I wish “Girl’s Not Grey” was on the Guitar Hero games that I own.  I’m going to have to look into what AFI songs are available besides “Miss Murder”.

    Throwing Copper is a terrific album, and the The Vines were not the second coming of the Beatles but were also not the second coming of The Sundown Playboys either.  Two country songs made the cut this week too.  The first concert I ever went to was Alabama at the Red River Valley Fair in Fargo, ND.  It was awesome even before the laser light show after their set.

    What’s on your list for today?

    Friday 10: FTown or Bust 

    I’ve been in Fargo all week. This trip to Fargo may be my longest stay in 4 years, and may well shape up to be the longest I’ll be here for quite some time. I better get my fill of Juano’s, Mexican Village, and Santa Lucia while I’m here. I can’t believe people go to FIVE Applebee’s in town instead of all the great independent restaurants in the area. Here’s my random ten songs for today:

    1. No Use for a Name – More Betterness!: “Let It Slide”
    2. Tim McGraw – Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: “She’s My Kind of Rain”
    3. Aerosmith – Aerosmith’s Greatest Hits: “Dream On”
    4. Bloc Party – A Weekend in the City: “Hunting for Witches”
    5. Saves the Day – Can’t Slow Down: “Collision”
    6. The Killers – Sawdust: “Where they White Boys Dance”
    7. Better Than Ezra – Greatest Hits: “King of New Orleans”
    8. Saves the Day – Through Being Cool: “The Last Lie I Told”
    9. Avril Lavigne – Under My Skin: “Nobody’s Home”
    10. Hawthorne Heights – The Silence in Black and White: “Silver Bullet”

    I find it funny that No Use for a Name has a five word name.  They should have gone with ___ instead.

    Bloc Party’s “Hunting for Witches” is probably the reason I don’t regret picking up A Weekend in the City.  I wish more of the songs on this album would have lived up to my expectations, even if those expectations may have been a bit high.  I know I said the hierarchy of Bloc Party albums goes something like: Silent Alarm > Intimacy > A Weekend in the City, but after listening to AWitC again, I may move it to the middle, or at least equal to Intimacy.  Sadly, neither album approaches Silent Alarm’s stratosphere.

    “Take me to the place to where the white boys dance. Take me to the place where they run and play.”  Anybody have any idea where the Killers are looking for?  My money is on Reggie Bush for King of New Orleans. Orleans doesn’t have a king, but they may have a Duke or maybe an Earl.

    I’m not sure I’ve listened to any other album1 more than Through Being Cool.  I still listen to it frequently all the way through.

    Nobody rhymes “boy” with “boi” like Avril. Ugh.  Hopefully Hawthorne Heights will erase any memories of Avril popping up on this list.  Well that’s what came up on my random list for Friday May 22, 2009.

    What came up on your list today?

    Reblog this post [with Zemanta]
    1. This is a lie.  I probably have listened to all of Garth Brooks’ early albums more, but that was from my childhood cassette era.  Through Being Cool is from my CD era. ↩

    Friday 10 – Its Been a While 

    The Smashing Pumpkins in a 1990 promotional ph...
    Image via Wikipedia

    [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?
