Saturday Random 10 (but really 20) III: Memorial Day Weekend
I was actually in Albany, NY on Saturday, so I'm posting the Random 20 now, on Monday (okay, okay it's Tuesday now. Gimmie a goddamn break). Just getting off of my stress-free and well-deserved week-long vacation from work. And after a week of Wii-playing, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 -watching, used-CD-purchasing and house-demolishing, I can think of no better way of ending my awesome vacation than posting useless information on a weblog that nobody reads other than myself. Here, then, is the next 20 random songs on my iTunes:
1. R.E.M. - Beachball
2. The Undertones - Jimmy Jimmy
3. Motograter - Prophecies (Almost Over)
4. Fantomas - Page 23
5. Ghostface Killah - Gotta Hold On
6. Ween - Loop de Loop
7. The Beatles - Within You Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows
8. Kaada - I Need You
9. Beck - E-Pro
10. Pink Floyd - The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
11. Pearl Jam - Red Mosquito
12. Go Kart Go - Parasite
13. Dogs Die In Hot Cars - Glimpse At the Good Life
14. Meat Puppets - Backwater
15. Alice In Chains - Man In The Box
16. Liz Phair - Jealousy
17. Hot Water Music - Alright For Now
18. TV On The Radio - Ambulance
19. Every Time I Die - Apocalypse Now and Then
20. eels - Grace Kelly Blues
A nice stretch of awesome 90's rock in the middle there, surrounded by weird-ass indie bands almost nobody has ever heard of and random tracks from 2002. Could've been a lot worse, though. A LOT worse. No overly embarassing selections here...
...okay, maybe that Motograter song; but I ripped it the year they were on Ozzfest and I still listen to it every now and again. Shitty nu-metal it may be, but at least they have a couple decently catchy songs that I can sing along to while intoxicated.

Saturday Random 10 (But Really 20)
Used to do the whole "Look what I'm listening to, I'm cooler than you are!" posts on Fridays, but that's back when I was on a normal schedule. Now that my work schedule is Tuesday-Saturday; Saturday has become my Friday and, in an attempt to post more than once a month, I'm sorta-kinda-resurrecting this ('specially after Fuzzy sorta-kinda resurrected his Friday-I'm-cooler-than-you-are-list last week). So, here's the 20 random-ass tracks from my iTunes playlist:
1. Hank Williams - Take These Chains From My Heart
2. Tenacious D - Rock Your Socks
3. Elton John - Sad Songs (Say So Much)
4. Radiohead - Creep
5. Flogging Molly - Tobacco Island
6. Mastodon - Elephant Man
7. Coheed & Cambria - The Velorium Camper I: Faint Of Hearts
8. Body Count - Evil Dick
9. Mr. Bungle - Backstrokin'
10. R.E.M. - Talk About The Passion
11. Chimaira - Crawl
12. Final Fantasy I & II - Battle #3
13. Megadeth - Use The Man
14. Mudvayne - (k)Now f(Orever)
15. Nine Inch Nails - Memorabilia
16. Bright Eyes - When The President Talks To God
17. Jim White - Phone Booth In Heaven
18. Db9d9 - Don't You Want Me
19. Aphex Twin - In the Glitter Part 2
20. The Magnetic Fields - Long-Forgotten Fairytale
Hey, that one was actually pretty painless! Almost nothing embarassing (nothing *I'M* embarassed about, anyways...well, maybe Body Count, but that's IT). I hope I can keep this thing going for awhile.

HE'S *not* A LIAAARRRRRR!!!!!
I just discovered this show in the past week (found it on DVD in Target for about $20) and I have to say, it's the single most kickass talk show I've ever seen. Mostly because it's Henry Goddamn Rollins, but also because he actually TALKS to people instead of just promoting thier newest thing.
Plus he has the angriest, most badass opening monologues of any talk show host ever.
If I got this channel, I wouldn't miss a single show; but since I don't, I'll just have to wait for Season 2 to come out on DVD.

I Know I Shouldn't Laugh
I really, really shouldn't.
But sometimes, the jokes write themselves.
...
See? Now you're going to hell, too.
