FRIDAY RANDOM TEN - 5769 CLOSEOUT EDITION

Not only is it Friday today, it’s the last Friday of the Jewish year 5769. This year, as the sun sets, the odometer clicks over to 5770... and we prepare to beseech the Big Guy to write us into the Book of Life so that we may be warm and vertical when it’s time to greet 5771.

But let’s put all them Weighty Philosophical Matters aside for now while we see what my Little White Choon-Box has spewed forth this week, the better to entertain us while we prepare for this evening’s feast.

What’s the playlist today? Checkum:
  1. Nubian Sundance - Weather Report

  2. Hilted - Max Tundra

  3. J’ai Deux Amours - Madeleine Peyroux

  4. Mr. Farmer - The Seeds

  5. Big Eyed Beans from Venus - Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

    Distant cousins, there’s a limited supply.
    And we’re down to the dozens, and this is why...
    Big Eyed Beans from Venus!
    Oh my, oh my.

    Boys and girls,
    Earth people around the circle,
    Mixtures of man alive.
    Big Eyed Beans from Venus,
    Don’t let anything get in between us.

    Beam in on me baby,
    And we’ll beam together
    I know we always been together,
    But there’s more.

    Mister Zoot Horn Rollo, hit that long lunar note,
    And let it float.

    Men, let your wallets flop out,
    And women, open your purses,
    Cause a man or a woman without a Big Eyed Bean from Venus
    Is suffering with the worstest of curses
    Yeah, you’re suffering with the worstest of curses.

    Put ’em out in the sun, and when the night come
    You don’t have to go out and get ’em
    They’ll glow with you
    They’ll go with you
    They’ll show with you
    Ain’t no losers
    ’Cause they’re on the right track
    ’Cause they’re on the right track
    You can be on the right track, woman,
    Of course, of course

    Ain’t no SNAFU, no fol-de-rol

    Check these out, Big Eyed Beans from Venus
    Oh, let a few out, let ’em pass in between us

    Distant cousins, there’s a limited supply.
    And we’re down to the dozens, and this is why...

    Don’t let anything get in between us!
    Big Eyed Beans from Venus
    Big Eyed Beans from Venus.
