Another Friday, another Random Ten. Still haven't added that much music to the new Nano so the selection is not as robust as the old days (or next Friday's, by which I'll finally get around to adding more joints) but the rules are the same: just press Shuffle. Without further ado:
1) Citizen Cope, Friendly Fire - Ah the great Citizen. This is one of the better songs off his most recent album. Also one of the better songs he sings live. A good start.
2) Rupert Holmes, Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - I'm not ashamed to admit that I love this song. Unbelievable catchy but I mean seriously. A guy puts a classified ad out in a newspaper cus he's sick of his girlfriend, in a million to one shot she answers cus I guess she's also unhappy, they have a good laugh and things are better then ever? And I'm supposed to buy that? Seems unlikely to me.
3) Jay Z, Threat - Decent song off the Black album.
4) Brandy and Monica, The Boy is Mine - I remember when this song was huge. For that matter, remember when Brandy and Monica were huge? Whatever happened to them? I mean I know Brandy is currently causing fatal car crashes but at one point they were at the top of the R&B game.
5) Nirvana, Breed - Sometimes I wonder what Kurt would be like if he hadn't killed himself. Then I get back to work.
6) Coldplay, Fix You - I like Coldplay, so forget you. Saddish song which means its right up my alley.
7) The Beatles, All Together Now - You can't tell me this isn't a children's song. People were clearly on some sort of drug when this was written.
Ben Harper, Sexual Healing (Live) - Great song that few can pull off but Harper nails it. I'd love to go to one of Harper's concerts.
9) Bruce Springsteen, The Rising - Bruce showing he can still rock. Pretty good overall album.
10) John Cale, Hallelujah - Great, great song, top five all-time (though not this version). A good one to end on.
And thats all I've got. Come back next week for another edition.
