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.

  1. Running to Stand Still, U2, The Joshua Tree (She is raging, she is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes)
  1. I Don't Wanna Know, Indigo Girls, Strange Fire (Does it give you satisfaction knowing nothing at all?)
  1. All American Girl, Melissa Etheridge, Yes I Am (Something's gotta give somewhere, forcing circles into squares)
  1.  Nobody's Side, Chess  Original London Cast Recording (Everybody's playing the game, but nobody's rules are the same)
  1. Waltz for Eva and Che, Evita Motion Picture Soundtrack (Tell me before I seek worthier pastures, and thereby restore self-esteem...)
  1. 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)
  1. People Ain't No Good, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Shrek 2 soundtrack
  1. Running Out of Ink, Barenaked Ladies, Barenaked Ladies Are Men (This is what it takes to drive a man to drink)
  1. 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."_)
  1. 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?
