FRIDAY RANDOM TEN - HYSTERICAL ERICAL EDITION

This week’s Friday Random ten is dedicated to Eric, the Straight White Guy hizzownself, who, in a monumental gesture of hospitality and/or stupidity - I cannot, for sure, say which - has once again opened his home to an army of Online Journalists by way of celebrating his recent 38th birthday.

Eric, the original Tennessee Renaissance Man, will enjoy the company of bloggers from as near as his very own town and as far away as Florida, Chicago, New York, and New Jersey. Based on past history, there will be massive Eatage, Drinkage, Guitar-Playage, Pocket Billiardry, Miscellaneous Hat-Wearage, and possibly even Gun-Shootage. Hey, and Poetry Recitation, too! I suspect the fine works of Robert W. Service, Ogden Nash, and even Don Marquis will get trampled upon.

But meanwhile, we have Tunage... straight out of the bowels of the iPod d’Elisson. Let’s see what random assortment of musical goodies the box has for us today:
  1. Look At Me - John Lennon

  2. Surgery - Scott Matthew

  3. Annie Waits - Ben Folds

  4. The Grand Wazoo - Bohuslan Big Band

  5. Into the Dream - Pat Metheny Group

  6. Refuge - Matisyahu

  7. Sign In Stranger - Steely Dan

  8. Malenkiy Malchik - Leningrad

  9. Brain Smashing Dub - Linton Kwesi Johnson

  10. Miss Gradenko - The Police

    Don’t tell the director I said so
    But are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    We were at a policy meeting
    They were planning new ways of cheating
    I didn’t want to rock your boat
    But you sent this dangerous note
    You’ve been letting your feelings show

    Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    Miss Gradenko are you safe?
    Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    Miss Gradenko are you safe?

    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody at all in here?
    Nobody but us in here
    Nobody but us
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Nobody but us

    Your uniform don’t seem to fit
    You’re much too alive in it
    You’ve been letting your feelings show
    Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    Miss Gradenko are you safe?

    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody at all in here?
    Nobody but us in here
    Nobody but us

    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody at all in here?
    Nobody but us in here
    Nobody but us
    Nobody but us in here
    Nobody but us


It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
