friday random ten
watched lots of television w/ the parents, which was funny and moving and good and stuff in all the right ways. trying not to freak out about the fact that it's already friday. on that note (note! ha!)...
rules: load every song you have on you computer into a winamp-type program, hit shuffle, and record the first ten songs that play. add comments (and/or coolness/lameness scores, on a scale of one to ten) as you desire.
1. sparklehorse - hundreds of sparrows
2. martha wainwright - these flowers
3. death cab for cutie - photobooth
4. joanna newsom - only skin (cheated on this one; only listened to about three of the sixteen+ minutes. it's, um. sort of boring.)
5. blind melon - dump truck
6. elliott smith - good to go
7. david bowie - watch that man
8. silver mt. zion - mountains made of steam (cheated on this one too; listened to exactly 28 seconds of the 9-minutes-and-28-seconds of the song. i suck?)
9. david bowie - life on mars (repeat artist, unfortunate, but i fucking love this song.)
10. liz phair - jealousy
11. radiohead - bulletproof (i wish i was)
12. the decemberists - sixteen military wives
13. nick cave & the bad seeds - the mercy seat
14. r.e.m. - electrolite
15. the darkness - love is only a feeling (didn't listen to this, because, well, i didn't feel like it. i knew it would embarrass me to load all the songs on this computer...)
16. elvis costello - i'm not angry (does this redeem me?)
17. elvis costello & the attractions - two little hitlers (another repeat! damn.)
18. bob dylan - you're a big girl now
19. the cure - wendy time
20. the decemberists - here i dreamt i was an architect (another repeat. i'm pretty transparent(ly obsessive), i suppose. but i love this song!)
21. marvin gaye - heard it through the grapevine (fucking classic, man)
22. radiohead - just (what's up, utterly un-embarrassing repeat? how you doin'?)
23. rufus wainwright - harvester of hearts
24. bright eyes - something vague
25. sparklehorse - come on in (didn't listen to this one; too slow.)
26. blind melon - the duke (yes i have the whole album. and i will defend it!)
27. arcade fire - keep the car running (a new one for me. and i like it.
28. nick cave - into my arms (and i will defend this song to the death.)
29. elvis costello - busy bodies (repeat? pshaw.)
30. pj harvey - big exit (not a bad note to end on. i hope?)
in (only (very) tenuously) related news, i have succeeded in cleaning and rearranging my room. pictures forthcoming. ("after" pictures, that is. i didn't think to do the before&after thing until i'd already moved my computer, and that's just anticlimactic. i mean, really.)
time to sleep now.
