It’s that time again! I’m bringing back something from my old, regular blogging days of the mid-aughts: the Friday Random Ten. I don’t remember who started this tradition, but a bunch of us Philly bloggers would bring this around every Friday. The basic rules are:
- fire up your digital music player
- go to “all songs“ and shuffle play everything
- note the first 10 songs to show up, without skipping anything
- create your playlist
Today’s Friday Random Ten, brought to you by that time a date kept emphatically telling me that I, whose favorite movie is The Muppet Movie, was very very wrong about the year in which it was released.
- “Never Before, Never Again (Instrumental)” — The Muppet Movie: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
- “Wonder” — Natalie Merchant, Tigerlily
- “I’ll Ruin Your Thoughts” — Tigers and Monkeys, Tigers and Monkeys
- “Rockin’ the Rhymes” — Arcane Addiction vs. MC Loki and Killa Ghozt, Here Comes a New Challenger II Turbo (Disc 1)
- “The Smallest Bones” — Castanets, Daytrotter Session: May 10, 2007
- “New Violence” — White Williams, Daytrotter Session: December 10, 2007
- “Box Set” — Barenaked Ladies, Gordon
- “Automatic Flowers” — Our Lady Peace, Clumsy
- “Achilles Last Stand” — Led Zeppelin, Presence
- “Fight” — The Cure, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
Artists I’ve seen live: Natalie Merchant, MC Loki, Barenaked Ladies, Our Lady Peace
Favorite track on the list: usually I would absolutely pick anything from The Muppet Movie, but since it’s an instrumental, today I’ll go with “Automatic Flowers”.
Least favorite track on the list: still have not been in a Led Zeppelin mood lately.
