Saturday Random 10 (but really 20) XIX: A too-much-fun weekend, and schoolwork follows.
Was out all night Saturday AND Sunday drinkin' it up, and never really sat down to post this week's Random. And, on top of all that, I have a 10-minute presentation to write, practice and plan before 5PM tomorrow, which I am just now starting. My bad.
Anyways, here's a quick-ass Random:
1. Motion City Soundtrack - Last Night
2. Sonic Youth - Theresa's Sound World
3. The Mars Volta - Miranda, that ghost just isn't holy anymore
4. The Good, the Bad & the Queen - History Song
5. Gnarls Barkley - Feng Shui (Chopped & Screwed Mix)
6. Faith No More - Pristina
7. Fantomas - The Devil Rides Out (Remix)
8. Shinedown - Burning Bright
9. Bob Marley & the Wailers - Iron Lion Zion
10. Eighteen Visions - Love In Autumn
11. Modest Mouse - Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice On Ice, Alright
12. Nada Surf - What IS Your Secret?
13. The Beatles - Back In The U.S.S.R.
14. Verbena - Dirty Goodbyes
15. Miles Davis - Spanish Key
16. Dead Kennedys - Take This Job and Shove It
17. dredg - It Only Took a Day
18. Tom Lehrer - The Vatican Rag
19. The Beatles - Rocky Raccoon
20. Unearth - Zombie Autopilot
This Random is so full of win, it's almost frightening. Oh sure, it starts out on a downnote with some emo (and one of the laziest songs on MCS' new album to boot), but right afterward? *BAM!* Sonic Youth! *BAM!* Mars Volta! The odd (but not altogether unlistenable) GoodBadQueen, a double shot of Mike Patton sweet syrupy goodness (and actually, #21 would've been a Patton project as well). Then you got the not-exactly-bad-but-mostly-generic Shinedown track, and then one of the most awesome songs Bob Marley ever recorded (probably my second favorite ever, after Buffalo Soldier). Hit up the indie kids with OLD Modest Mouse/NEW Nada Surf/Verbena and dredg; PLUS a double shot of The Beatles (and really, if you're gonna take two random tracks off any Beatles album and still have it sound random, you can't do much better than the White Album). Throw in some classic Miles Davis, Tom Lehrer, my favorite punk band ever and then end it with the most badass-titled song in my entire music collection, and you've got one hell of a Random there, buddy.
Alright, now off to research and schoolwork!
