Friday Random Ten

I'm back from Maine after having a wonderful trip to Colby College. It was cold (but I got used to it) and the people were very friendly, so thanks to one and all. Normal blogging will resume once I get caught up, but for the moment, here's a belated random ten: Hold On / Lou Reed / New York World / New Order / Retro, CD4 (Live) O Children / Nick Cave / The Lyre Of Orpheus Barstool Blues / Neil Young / Year of the Horse Dumb / Nirvana / Unplugged Take Me to the River / Talking Heads / Popular Favorites Please Mr. Please / Scud Mountain Boys / Pine Box God Help Me / The Jesus & Mary Chain…
I can't possible compete with RPM's "Double Entendre Friday" (heh, heh, he said "penetrance"), but here they are, your Friday Random Ten: Sad Professor / REM / MTV Unplugged Babylon Sisters / Steely Dan / Gaucho Free Fallin' / Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers / Greatest Hits I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend / The Ramones / Ramones Mania Police State In The Usa / Anti-Flag / Die For The Government Salty Dog / Cat Power / The Covers Record Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart / Nick Cave / Kicking Against the Pricks Working on a Building / Cowboy Junkies / The Trinity Sessions Shellshock / New Order…
I used to do a Friday Random Ten over at my old blog, but haven't in a while. And then I find that PZ ran one today, and he featured "Strange Fruit" by Billy Holiday. I take that as a cosmic hint (is it design? who cares), so here's my Friday Random Ten: I'm Bound For The Promised Land / Johnny Cash / Unearthed Vol 4 My Mother's Hymn Book The Ascent of Man / R.E.M. / Around the Sun Verde Mar / Chambao / Flamenco Chill The Spoken Wheel / Flogging Molly / Within a Mile of Home Soon All Will Know / Wynton Marsalis / Ken Burns Jazz The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll / Bob Dylan / Bootleg Series…
