FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Friday always seems to come around faster when there’s a holiday on Monday.

But whether it arrives quickly or slowly, Friday comes around every seven days, dragging along with it the Friday Random Ten, the weekly Heap o’ Hashed-Up Harmonies, hocked out by the iPod d’Elisson.

What’s on the box today? Let’s check it out:

1. Quicksand - Travis
   
   
2. Florentine Pogen (Live) - Frank Zappa
   
   Lyrics here.
   
   
3. Olisimme Uineet Vieläkin Piedemmälle - Alamaailman Vasarat
   
   
4. Sweet Virginia - The Rolling Stones
   
   Wading through the waste stormy winter
   And there’s not a friend to help you through
   Trying to stop the waves behind your eyeballs
   Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues
   
   Thank you for your wine, California
   Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits
   Yes, I’ve got the desert in my toenail
   And hid the speed inside my shoe
   
   But come on, come on down, sweet Virginia
   Come on, honey child, I beg of you
   
   Come on, come on down, you got it in you
   Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes
   
   
5. Unikkotango - Alamaailman Vasarat
   
   
6. Reggae fi May Ayim - Linton Kwesi Johnson
   
   
7. Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey - The Beatles
   
   Perry Como’s cover version is still my favorite...
   
   
8. The Mikado, Act I: Our Great Mikado, Virtuous Man - D’Oyly Carte Opera Company
   
   
9. My Life Is Good - Randy Newman
   
   
10. Holy Ground - The Klezmatics
