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 me actually being kinda relieved that my karaoke team didn’t make it to city-wide finals.
- “Return to Zero” — Let Em Riot, The 80’s Dream Compilation Tape, Volume 2
- “Love for All Seasons” — Christina Aguilera, Christina Aguilera
- “Spin the Wink” — The Velvet Teen, Daytrotter Session: Jan 22, 2007
- “Love Me Two Times” — The Doors, Strange Days
- “Battle Cry” — The Broadcast, From the Horizon
- “That’s My Bush” — That’s My Bush television series theme song
- “Kiss Eternal” — Lords of Acid, Farstucker
- “The Brews” — NOFX, Punk in Drublic
- “Medicine Head” — Marc with a C, Pop Pop Pop
- “Galapagos” — Smashing Pumpkins, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Artists I’ve seen live: NOFX, Marc with a C
Favorite track on the list: Pop Pop Pop is one of my favorite albums from Marc, so I’m going with “Medicine Head”
Least favorite track on the list: possibly “Love Me Two Times”, not because I have anything against The Doors, per se, but because I went really big into them during the summer between senior year and heading to college, and my boyfriend at the time was really big into them. Yeah, I know.
Serendipitous: two songs played back to back, in which the title of its album is a spoonerism.
