FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

It’s Friday once again, which means it’s time for this week’s Digital Debrief of Musical Miscellany, spewed straight out of the iPod d’Elisson.

I don’t know about you, but I am certainly ready for the weekend. Watching the Missus and the Mistress of Sarcasm slave away in the basement, cleaning out ten years of Accumulated Crap, is a soul-crushing experience.

Did I say ten years? No - it’s more like thirty. There is junk and detritus that I’ve been schlepping around since our early days in Texas...and before. It’s easy to be a Pack Rat when you (1) have room for your stored crap, and (2) have an employer who is willing to pay to schlep it from one corner of the country to another, every time you relocate. Magazines. Carbon-film typewriter ribbons. Stuffed animals. Photographs. Clown makeup. Old sewing machines. Hundreds of Sunday color comics supplements.

I haven’t been sitting completely idle all this time, having been engaged in a minor project of my own. I’ll tell you more about it when it’s done.

Meanwhile, what’s on the box today?
  1. The Hornburg - Howard Shore, The Two Towers

  2. Five Fifteen - Phish

  3. Walking Down The Hill/Some Sad Song - Travis

  4. Dig A Pony - The Beatles

  9. Love Street - The Doors

    She lives on Love Street
    Lingers long on Love Street
    She has a house and garden
    I would like to see what happens
    She has robes and she has monkeys
    Lazy diamond-studded flunkeys
    She has wisdom and knows what to do
    She has me and she has you

    She has wisdom and knows what to do
    She has me and she has you

    I see you live on Love Street
    There’s this store where the creatures meet
    I wonder what they do in there
    Summer Sunday and a year
    I guess I like it fine, so far

    She lives on Love Street
    Lingers long on Love Street
    She has a house and garden
    I would like to see what happens

    La, la, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la, la


  10. The Inner Light - The Beatles

It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
