For some reason, this has been a draining week, and I'm just slumped in my easy chair with the iTunes entertaining me…so let's toss up a Friday Random Ten.
| Blade Of Grass | Asylum Street Spankers |
| Prayers for Rain | The Cure |
| Skåne | Hedningarna |
| Whip It | Devo |
| My Generation | Patti Smith |
| Hallelujah | Leonard Cohen |
| Logon Rock Witch | Alarm Will Sound |
| Show me forgiveness | Bjork |
| Stripper | Lords Of Acid |
| Dr.Sayus | Simpsons |
Tomorrow is another day in the office, whipping up this talk for Cafe Scientifique, and I think I've got a science post or two fermenting up in my cranium.
Comments
Lords of Acid?!?!?
Okay you're totally my hero now.

Damned, dirty apes!

Ah, someone actually listening to the original version of Hallelujah. Good man.

Sweet on the Spankers!!
If there was any justice in this world, those guys would
be the best selling band in the history of the universe.
If you haven't seen them live, make every effort possible to do so.

(I have no idea why I'm being such a stickler for all these details ... except, that was a season of The Simpsons that I actually liked. And, I was one of those kids who watched all five afternoons of "Apes Week" on the channel 7 afternoon movie. I understand that I'm rather pathetic ...)

Do you know the odds against those 10 songs coming up in that very order!

And how could you leave out "7 Deadly Sins" by Flogging Molly?
"We're seven drunken pirates
full of seven deadly sins"

Skåne, that´s where I live (southernmost part of Sweden)! Today was the first day of the year that the sun´s rays really made a difference, i.e. we Swedes do that weird turning-our-faces-towards-the-sun-all-at-the-same-time thingy.

I saw Lords of Acid when I was 16, sneaked into an 18+ show with my friend on his 16th birthday. My friend proceeded to lick the breasts of a woman in the crowd he'd never met before or since. I really haven't thought about that for years!

"Prayers For Rain" -> "The Same Deep Water As You" -> "Disintegration"
Is there a better triumvirate in all of pop music?
