Friday Random Ten - 09.23.05

Time for Friday Random Ten, where you hit "shuffle" on your favorite digital music player (for me my Windows MediaPlayer at work) and report on the first ten songs that it spits out.

This week: less talk, more awards.

Here goes:

"Handy Man (Live)" - James Taylor
"Hillbilly Highway" - Steve Earle
"Runaway Wind" - Paul Westerberg
"Dust Bowl Blues" - Woodie Guthrie
"All We Have Is Now" - The Flaming Lips
"Prom Theme" - Fountains Of Wayne
"When You Wake Up Feeling Old" - Wilco
"I Can't Hold Myself In Love" - John Doe
"Caroline" - Kirsty MacColl
"Ooh La La" - The Faces

Song I like most from this week's list: "Hillbilly Highway"

Song I like least from this week's list: "Handy Man" (as great as James Taylor is in concert, it's just not the same thing listing to his live album).

Best album on the list: Summerteeth (Wilco)

Best song about talking sex with your poor old granddad: "Ooh La La"

Best song about your granddaddy leaving, then your daddy leaving, and then, finally, you leaving: "Hillbilly Highway"

Artist most likely to cause confusion in an emergency room: John Doe (think about it)

Best song about stealing your best friend's boyfriend: "Caroline"

Tom Joad's favorite song of the week: "Dust Bowl Blues" (What were you expecting it to be, "Ooh La La"?)

I was friends with a guy named Steve Doe when I was in high school. Imagine the red tape had I married him!

Jane Doe? You would have been a missing person report waiting to happen.
