The Wheel of the Week has turned full circle once again, bringing Friday back around... which means it’s time for the Friday Random Ten, that exercise in Musical Narcissism in which I post ten Choons disgorged at random from my Little White Choon-Box.
And it’s not just any Friday, but Friday the 13th, bane of triskadeikaphobes. For the rest of us, it’s the opening shot of the weekend, so... good luck!
Let’s see what’s playing today, shall we?

Climbing out of open windows
Crashing down from broken stairs
Keeping watch on smoking cinders
Falling over burning chairs
Tossed and crossed and screwed in transit
Broken, splintered, bruised and thrown
Badly shattered, gale force frighty
Rushed across and shown alone
Speech reduced by poor relations
Strung from weeks of self abuse
Chopped up, churned out, weeks of greasy
Spark plugs burned up, power’s fused - Counting Sheep - The Judybats
- Pearl of the Quarter - Steely Dan
- Condorbird - The Klezmatics
- Painting Box - The Incredible String Band
- Matchbox - The Beatles
