| 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.

Chris of Mixing Memory claims that you can make accurate personality assessments about a person just from listening to ten of their favorite songs. OK, let's play that game. Here are ten songs I like.

So this is a sorta random music list, but not quite. The new version of iTunes has this "iMix" feature where it will generate a web-based collection from any playlist, so I selected the first 10 from my randomized library, threw it into a new playlist, selected iMix, and…discovered it only builds a…
I'm not feeling especially inspired, blog-wise, this morning, and I've got another couple of busy days on tap, so you get the fall-back post of the uninspired blogger: Ten random tracks from my iTunes library (the four-and-five-star playlist), with commentary. I'm tempted to just steal Kate's…
I've been swamped lately, learning to manage my new commute, and being overwhelmed by my new job. So I've been a bit lax about the blog; I've missed three weeks in a row for the friday pathological programming; and I haven't been posting my friday random tens. I don't have time to do a FPP post…
Lords of Acid?!?!?
Okay you're totally my hero now.
You have some pretty cool stuff on your iTunes.
Please, it's Dr. Zaius.
Damned, dirty apes!
("I love you Dr. Zaius!")
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.
Dr. Zaius Dr. Zaius!
Dr. Zaius Dr. Zauis!
Dr. Zauis Dr. Zauis!
Ooooooohh... Dr. Zaius! (Dr. Zauis Dr. Zaius!)
What's wrong with me? (I think you're crazy!)
I want a second opinion! (You're also crazy!)

(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 ...)
Here's another Random Top 10:
Key To The Highway - Little Walter
You'll Be Mine - Howlin' Wolf
Green Light - Sonic Youth

Do you know the odds against those 10 songs coming up in that very order!
It's the Great Googly Boogly I tells you!
And how could you leave out "7 Deadly Sins" by Flogging Molly?
"We're seven drunken pirates
full of seven deadly sins"
fusilier, who is always amused that Punk Celtic Bagpipes sound just like Traditional Celtic Bagpipes

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!
i think logon rock witch is by aphex twin... but you might have another song called logon rock witch
It's a cover.
I had a coupla beers last night with Stanley "Cool Pops" Smith, who wrote, played, sang "Blade of Grass". Come to Austin sometime and look me up, I'll introduce you.

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