I-Random (1st 10 random tracks)

These were the first 10 shuffle tracks on my Ipod this morning--
*(idea lovingly borrowed from The Sticking Point)

Godwhacker - Steely Dan, Everything Must Go
Love this song. Classic Donald Fagan lyrics about people you don't know but dearly want to...

The Thing That Should Not Be -- Metallica, Master of Puppets
Such angry focus. Super cool Lovecraftian horror-rock...

You Are What You Love -- Jenny Lewis, Rabbit Fur Coat
Love this woman, love her voice... Great Album

Sayin' it and Doin' It -- James Brown, Hell
The anthem of my life. "They're just as much different as night and day"...

Miss Darling -- Big Walter Horton, Mouth Harp Maestro
Legendary Harmonica player known for his huge hands and brutal alcoholism...

Double Clutching -- John Coltrane, Coltrane Time
Killer contrapuntal tune...

Sweet Little Girl -- Stevie Wonder, Music Of My Mind
So funky. My favorite Stevie album...

Stick It Out -- Frank Zappa, Joe's Garage
Great song; song by a robot, mostly, in German...

Speak -- Queensryche, Operation Mindcrime
My favorite concept album not called The Wall. Best track...

No Children -- The Mountain Goats, Tallahassee
So, so great. Chorus complete with "I hope you die. I hope we both die"...

Won't you post your Random 10 in the comments section? H
