Lauren, who is guest-blogging over at Rox Populi while Roxanne is on vacation, has a confession to make about the Friday iPod Random Ten:
Okay, I admit it. I occasionally edit out songs that make me cringe or induce a series of eye rolls. My FRT is more of a first-ten-songs-that-I-would-actually-listen-to list than a first-ten-songs list.
This week's challenge: Impress us with your horrible taste.
If it's Friday somewhere, it's time for the Friday Random Ten. Fire up your mp3 players, load up your entire mp3 collection (even the bad stuff), and hit play. List the first ten that pump through your radio, radio. And this week, be honest.
I'll confess to editing my list, too. But I'm going to go with the real list this time. I promise. Here goes (oh please oh please oh please don't let there be anything embarrassing...):
1. Unhappy Anniversary (live) - Loudon Wainwright III
2. Goodbye Walker Percy - Brooks Williams
3. Bear Creek Blues - John Prine
4. I Can't Remember (live) - The Thorns
5. Grand Junction - Greg Brown
6. Mrs O'Leary's Cow - Brian Wilson
7. Perfectly Good Guitar (live) - John Hiatt
8. Casino Foundation - Martin Sexton
9. A Letter To Tracy - Keb' Mo'
10. Heaven - Los Lonely Boys
There, that was painless! I have no idea who the Thorns are or how they ended up on my iPod, but there you go. Luck even brought up a track from John Prine's latest, in honor of the concert tomorrow!
Okay, I'll play. I hit party shuffle on my iTunes jukebox, since I don't have an iPod, but here are the first ten listed:
Unforgettable-Nat King Cole
The Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line-Waylon Jennings
A Song for You-Gram Parsons
Just Ask the Lonely-the Four Tops
Respect-Aretha
Yakety Yak-the Coasters
Don't Forget About Me-Dusty Springfield
Breaking theGirl-Red Hot Chili Peppers
I Know I'm Losing You-the Temptations
Two Lovers-Mary Wells
Yes, I imported all my soul music first; why do you ask?
