friday random ten: “reflexive pessimism” edition
08 Apr
It’s been a soul-sucking week, no question, for both me and the rest of the household. Hoping it gets better starting this afternoon, what with RavenCon in town and all.
I just hope I can find some time to enjoy myself, and not spend the whole time on guard to make sure my kids aren’t harshing everyone else’s mellow. Not being a total cynic, I just have a feeling that, given recent events, such circumstances aren’t outside the realm of possibility.
Oh, how I hope I’m wrong.
Anyway, here’s a playlist out of pandora; it’s at least 8/10 cool.
- “Did You Ever” – That Dog
- “Why Can’t This Be Love” – Van Halen
- “Goodnight Elizabeth (live)” – Counting Crows
- “Arlington (live) – The Wailin’ Jennys
- “Left of the Dial” – The Replacements
- “Hallelujah” – Rufus Wainwright
- “Brand New Sucker” – Jonathan Coulton
- “Exhuming McCarthy” – R.E.M.
- “What You Want/What You Got” – The Unlovables
- “My Best Friend’s Girl” -The Cars
