Friday Random Ten ... Argh!! Edition.
Fri Aug 08, 2008 at 01:37:34 PM PDT
Welcome to the Friday Random 10, StreetProphet's weekly music discussion group. Grab a beverage of your choice from today's Happy Hour thread, pull up a comfy chair, and start thumbing through the records, 8-tracks, tapes, CD's and mp3's lying around. If you're not into music, here's some noise-canceling earplugs- they'll filter out the music while you stay and chat with us about other stuff :-).
So I said last week to brillig that I've been in a completely different place from her quiet place, but I tried to get into the spirit of silence and stillness anyway.
But this week it's my turn, and (unfortunately) I'm in kind of an angry place this week. Last week I was just frustrated. This week I'm angry and seriously contemplating a life upheaval.
- Running to Stand Still, U2, The Joshua Tree (She is raging, she is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes)
- I Don't Wanna Know, Indigo Girls, Strange Fire (Does it give you satisfaction knowing nothing at all?)
- All American Girl, Melissa Etheridge, Yes I Am (Something's gotta give somewhere, forcing circles into squares)
- Nobody's Side, Chess Original London Cast Recording (Everybody's playing the game, but nobody's rules are the same)
- Waltz for Eva and Che, Evita Motion Picture Soundtrack (Tell me before I seek worthier pastures, and thereby restore self-esteem...)
- Bad Reputation, Halfcocked, Shrek soundtrack (I don't give a damn about my reputation, you're living in the past, it's a new generation)
- People Ain't No Good, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Shrek 2 soundtrack
- Running Out of Ink, Barenaked Ladies, Barenaked Ladies Are Men (This is what it takes to drive a man to drink)
- All I Really Want, Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill (_Do I stress you out? My sweater is on backwards and inside-out, and you say "How appropriate."_)
- Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen, Greatest Hits (Everybody's out on the run tonight, but there's no place left to hide)
So, what's got your adrenaline up this week?
