Here we go again with yet another installment of Blog d’Elisson’s Friday Random Ten, in which I post a list of ten random songs hocked out of the iPod d’Elisson like so many Musical Loogies.
It’s the last Friday of 2007. The Missus and I are spending this Holiday Interregnum at home, bent to the task of cleaning and organizing our mare’s nest of a basement. Oh, joy. It’s a job we’ve managed to put off for over nine years, but, as they say, “Enough Z’nuff.”
Music, meanwhile, lightens the Load of Labor...so let’s see what’s on the box today:

Music, meanwhile, lightens the Load of Labor...so let’s see what’s on the box today:
- Polovtsian Dances - Borodin (L. Stokowski, conductor)
The musical inspiration for the 1953 Broadway show “Kismet,” from Borodin’s opera Prince Igor. - Mama Told Me Not To Come - Randy Newman
Most people are more familiar with the cover version by Three Dog Night...but this is the Real Thing. - Smoke - Ben Folds Five
- The Luckiest - Ben Folds
- Act II, Scene 3: Dance - Philip Glass, Akhnaten
- You And Whose Army? - Radiohead
- Kiss Me/Ladies In Their Sensitivities - Sondheim, Sweeney Todd
From the original Broadway version in 1979. - Mardi Gras In New Orleans - Professor Longhair
- Smoking - Bill Hicks
Hicks died of cancer in 1994. Not lung cancer, as the title of this track might cause you to infer, but pancreatic cancer. Oof. - Wood & Stone - Moonraker
