Gina G – Ooh Ahh, Just A Little Bit (pouring a tall Barcardi & diet)

Billy Vera & The Beaters – Someone Will School You, Someone Will Cool You -

Two days in L.A. and then I meet you, You got a girlfriend who says she’d like to cum too, after some foreplay you ask if I would beat you, what in the hell are you women into? … I had a hard time, sleeping on your pillow, looked underneath it, and found your dildo, and in your phone book of famous names names and numbers, you’ve got them rated, baby, from studs to fumblers. … I should have known it, you were too willing, I’d soon be taking, penicillin, I’m from New York, supposed to be a player, but I ain’t never seen this shit, no never!

Billy Idol – L.A. Woman ( and am proud of it!)

Venga Boys – We Like to Party (hell, fucking yeah!)

Counting Crows Feat. Vanessa Carlton – Big Yellow Taxi (music to get a refill by)

Fefe Dobson – Take Me Away

La Bouche – Tonight is the Night (Ok, so the techno is winning out! I promise not to play Macarena!)

Buster Poindexter – Hot Hot Hot

Bryan Adams – Summer of ’69 … sigh …

Bonus five:

Divinyls – I Touch Myself (hey, it’s late!)

Beatles – Ask Me Why

Bruce Willis (Bruno) – Under the Boardwalk
I don’t care what the press is about this man, since his Moonlighting days, I’ve been a fan.

Depeche mode – Just Can’t Get Enough

and to close out …

Cherry Poppin’ Daddies – Zoot Suit Riot!

As has happened before, I didn’t get to my Friday Random Ten in the morning because my music is all on my desktop computer, which is in my office, which I couldn’t go into because my boyfriend’s drummer was sleeping…

I hear those socks and panties can get pretty rowdy, too!

Good thing you’ve got just the right bouncers there to keep things in check.

1. Bruder, gib dir einen stob -Lotte Lenya sings Kurt Weill
2. The Stone Of Impermanence – Fennesz
3. I Feel Like The Mother Of The World – Smog
4. Viavy raozy – Henry Kaiser And David Lindley
5. Here They Come Now – Antipop Consortium
6. Johnny Thunder – The Kinks
7. All Falls Down – Kanye West
8. Thug News – Chris Rock
9. Special Angel -Air Miami
10. Otis’ Groove – Julius Hemphill Sextet

All in all, a fairly representative list for me: Some caberetish classical music, noise drone, Insound endoresed songwriter stuff, world guitar experimentalism, weird hip-hop, the worst song on a Kinks album, mainstream hip-hop, a comedy album, 90s indie rock that no one cared about 10 years ago and care about even less now, big band free jazz!

Cats, Dogs, Spiders and ? every Friday. We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals as I see them (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Leave a comment or trackback…

1. Eminem – The Real Slim Shady

For all his flaws as an artist, I can’t deny that Eminem is a master of hip-hop form. Plus, he reminds me of my Motor City roots. 7/10

2. Stevie Wonder – My Cherie Amour

I was importing songs, clicked on the wrong one, and never deleted it. No, really. 2/10

3. Talk Talk – It’s My Life

Having to explain to younger fans that this was not originally a No Doubt song makes me feel both knowledgeable and old. No Doubt’s cover is good, but they took out a little too much of the keyboard that gave Talk Talk’s version its edge. 6/10

4. Sublime – What I Got

I joined the Sublime craze, and then promptly forgot about them after Brad Nowell died. 5/10

5. Peter Schilling – Major Tom

Notice a trend here? Yes, nostalgia is big on Linnaeus’ playlists. 5/10

6. Electric Light Orchestra – Livin’ Thing

My way of showing how “cool” I was when I was younger was to get into those art/prog-rock bands. Clearly, I was misguided in terms of my coolness, but ELO is just fun. To me, at least. 7/10

7. The Buggles – Video Killed The Radio Star

Yes, I saw this when MTV first when on the air. ‘Nuff said. 9/10

8. Dusty Springfield – Son Of A Preacher Man

No, I’m not the son of a preacher man, but this song came in handy that one time, uh, *ahem*…next song! 10/10

9. Adam Ant – Desperate But Not Serious

Fun song, but something’s wrong when your band ends up playing behind a 15-year old that Malcolm McLaren found in a laundrette. 4/10

10. The Strokes – Last Nite

Yes, I downloaded this when I was on the rocks with my then-girlfriend. It seemed so weighty then. 5/10

Bonus Friday Guilty Pleasure Track:

Color Me Badd – I Wanna Sex You Up

Ah, freshman year…tick tock, ya don’t stop… 6/10
