One of the blogs I read does Random Friday – and I thought I'd join in. Basically, set your iPod to random (or, for us cheap folks, your iTunes) – and list the first 10 songs that come up.
1. Pete Yorn – Closet (Music for the Morning After)
2. Bruce Springsteen – Countin' on a Miracle (The Essential, CD3)
3. Jeffrey Gaines – First Chapter's Last Page (Galore)
4. Bruce Springsteen – Leah (Devils & Dust)
5. O Rappa – Track 6 (Live Vol. 1)
6. Jonatha Brook – Digging (Steady Pull)
7. Dido – All You Want (No Angel)
8. Indigo Girls – Sister (Come on Now Social)
9. Lyle Lovett – Funny How Time Slips Away (?? it's with Al Green though)
10. John Mayer – Back to You (Room for Squares)
First Thoughts - The girl I took this idea from had a Dido Song from No Angel also. Weird.
Favorite Song - Back to You, I don't know why I like longing-for-love songs when I'm not really the longing-for-love type. They give me comfort that those types are out there.
Favorite Album - My first thought was the Indigo Girls one, because I love them so, and I listen to their albums over and over and over. BUT – this is one album that I haven't listened to much. I know every song on it (as usual), and I LOVE most of them live (Who doesn't love Fay Tucker live?!?!). BUT – the album itself I don't listen to much. IF I knew what album any of my Lyle songs were on, that might be a contestant also – but it comes down to O Rappa. O Rappa is a Brasilian Rock Band that I fell in love with while dating a Brasilian for a year or so (I think it's the only decent thing I took from that relationship) – and that whole live album is the best to blast in the jeep, sing along with (who really needs to know the words?) AND dance around the house to!! I'd write the name of the song, but I would just slaughter the spelling. I do adore this song on here though.
Songs I don't think I've ever heard before - 1, 2, 3, 4 AND 6. That was a boring start of this track!
