FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

It is Friday again already? Holy crapoley, time flies when you’re having fun.

It also flies faster as we get older. Ever notice that? I call it Elisson’s Law of Proportional Perception: The longer we live, each passing day constitutes an ever-decreasing percentage of our lives; we therefore perceive each day’s passage to be proportionally swifter. Our lives are, in this wise, like toilet paper. As we approach the end of the roll, the roll spins ever more rapidly, alas.

Profound, ain’t it?

But you did not come her for profundity, did you? No, you came here for the Friday Random Ten, the weekly pile of randomly selected Choons from the Little White Choon-Box. Let’s take a peek and see what’s on the box this week:
  1. Fast Enough For You - Phish

  2. Fakin’ It - Simon & Garfunkel

    When she goes, she’s gone.
    If she stays, she stays here.
    The girl does what she wants to do.
    She knows what she wants to do.
    And I know I’m fakin’ it,
    I’m not really makin’ it.

    I’m such a dubious soul,
    And a walk in the garden
    Wears me down.
    Tangled in the fallen vines,
    Pickin’ up the punch lines,
    I’ve just been fakin’ it,
    Not really makin’ it.

    Is there any danger?
    No, no, not really.
    Just lean on me.
    Takin’ time to treat
    Your friendly neighbors honestly.
    I’ve just been fakin’ it,
    I’m not really makin’ it.
    This feeling of fakin’ it -
    I still haven’t shaken it.

    Prior to this lifetime
    I surely was a tailor, look at me...
    (“Good morning, Mr. Leitch.
    Have you had a busy day?”)
    I own the tailor’s face and hands.
    I am the tailor’s face and hands and
    I know I’m fakin’ it,
    I’m not really makin’ it.
    This feeling of fakin’ it -
    I still haven’t shaken it.


  3. 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover - Paul Simon

  4. Mozart: Requiem In D Minor, K626-06 Sequenz #4, Recordare - Herbert Von Karajan

  5. Satumaa (Finnish Tango) - Frank Zappa
