friday random ten – “didn’t even realize it was a long weekend” edition
Was so busy this week with all sorts of work things that I totally didn’t realize that Monday was a federal holiday until about 2pm yesterday. It was a nice surprise.
For no particular reason, a playlist:
- “We Belong” – Pat Benetar
- “The Dance” – Garth Brooks
- “Farmhouse” – Phish
- “Call It Off” – Tegan and Sara
- “Birdhouse in your Soul” – They Might Be Giants
- “Spår 9” – Frank Zappa
- “Veruca Salt” – Danny Elfman (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory OST)
- “Take It Back” – Barenaked Ladies
- “Perfect” – Alanis Morissette
- “Kiss Me Deadly” – Lita Ford
Again, this is just spinning off the hard drive here this afternoon, after a couple of hours of work from the day job that invaded my normal friday off. Most of this week’s actual soundtrack as covered a couple of posts back in the semi-regular CD review column. One that didn’t make that list is the absolutely amazing Theater is Evil from Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra, which I’m totally late to the party on, as all the cool kids laid out their cash for the kickstarter a couple of months back. Alas, I just purchased it at Best Buy on the drive back from the NoVA office yesterday. Timing aside, “Melody Dean” from that particular record has quickly managed to become my favorite pop song for at least the next couple of days, though when “Want it Back” comes on, that position becomes a bit less certain.
