Friday Stochastic Fifteen
You know the “Friday Random Ten” game: put your MP3 player on random
shuffle, and list the first ten songs that come up. Good, wholesome
fun.
Unfortunately, I have an awful lot of crap in my collection. Well,
maybe not crap per se, but stuff that I only feel like listening to
once in a blue moon. So here’s an adapted version, in which I only
list songs that I wouldn’t have skipped over when they came up:
- Bigod,
Like a Prayer - Art of Noise,
Close (to the Edit),
Daft - Assemblage 23,
Anthem,
Contempt - (Maybe: Michael Z. Land,
Meeting Lemonhead,
) - Dead Kennedys,
Chickenfarm,
Frankenchrist - VNV Nation,
DSM02,
Advance and Follow - Cocteau Twins,
The Thinner the Air,
Victorialand
At one record store, on the divider that marked the Cocteau Twins CDs, someone had written, “Buy every one of their albums and live forever!” With a few exceptions, I agree. - Pink Floyd,
Nobody Home,
The Wall
Proof that not all music from the 70s sucked. - Conflict,
The Serenade is Dead,
Turning Rebellion Into Money
The only hardcore brit-punk charity album I know of. - The Crystal Method,
Blowout,
Tweekend - The Cure,
If Only Tonight We Could Sleep,
Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
Those lips on the cover are a hell of a lot more impressive on the LP than on the CD. - Yazoo,
Only You (1999 Version),
The Best of
This is what you get when you pair up a guy from Depeche Mode with a blues singer. - The Psychedelic Furs,
Only a Game,
Mirror Moves - (Maybe: Gilbert & Sullivan,
When the foeman bears his steel,
The Pirates of Penzance) - Klutæ,
God Spoke Through a Burning Bush,
Hit ‘N’ Run - Jack Wall,
MA_THEME_mldy_1, - Wire,
Strange,
Pink Flag
