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 getting close to my goal of 100 new-to-me horror movies by Halloween way too quickly.
- “One Week” — Barenaked Ladies, Stunt
- “Tragic Mirror” — Sondre Lerche, Daytrotter Session: Jun 27, 2007
- “Kryptonite” — Three Doors Down, Y100 Sonic Sessions, Vol. 4
- “Chasing Sirens” — Orgy, Vapor Transmission
- “Medicine” — Luke Temple, Daytrotter Session: Aug 27, 2007
- “No Gato” — About, Daytrotter Session: Mar 5, 2007
- “Not Even Jail” — Interpol, Antics
- “Red Queen” — Dr. Awkward, Unlimited
- “Mundane” — Marc with a C, Human Slushy
- “Mr. Jones” — Counting Crows, August and Everything After
Artists I’ve seen live: Barenaked Ladies, Dr. Awkward, Marc with a C
Favorite track on the list: “Mr. Jones”, because it is an album that came out when I was close to that magical age of 14 when our musical selves are starting to cement.
Least favorite track on the list: I am not in an Orgy mood today.
Oh come one: not only three songs from Daytrotter Sessions, but two of them are back to back. Was I really once that into Daytrotter Sessions that I have that many of them on my player?
