FRIDAY RANDOM TEN, A DAY LATE

Well, it’s hard to sit down and write blogposts when you have a Happy Army of relatives staying in the house. A matter of priorities.

Thus: A slightly belated welcome to the post-Thanksgiving edition of Blog d’Elisson’s Friday Random Ten, the weekly Waste of Time in which I post a list of ten chunks of music as spewed out at random from the iPod d’Elisson.

Morris William (SWMBO’s kid brother) and Rebecca have just packed up little William and Madison and have begun their lengthy journey back to Texas. The house is quiet...but not completely so, for we still have Elder Daughter and the Mistress of Sarcasm with us for another day. Joy!

So: What’s playing today?

1. About To Die - Procol Harum
   
   
2. Real Love - The Beatles
   
   
3. Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life - Monty Python’s Spamalot
   
   
4. Samwise The Brave - Howard Shore, The Two Towers
   
   
5. Shnaps-Nign - The Klezmatics
   
   The title translates to “Booze-Song.”
   
   
6. Free Bird Jam (live) - Ben Folds Five
   
   
7. The Red Weed - Jeff Wayne
   
   
8. So Fucking Stupid - Bickley
   
   From the album Pogo à Go Go. Bickley was a Houston-based punk band in the 1990’s, one of whose members was a colleague at the Great Corporate Salt Mine. White shirt and tie by day, nipple rings and songs sprinkled liberally with words like “Fuck!” by night.
   
   
9. Miracle Drug - A. C. Newman
   
   
10. Zomby Woof (live) - Frank Zappa
