Random 11 — Volume 13

[Cross posted at Braindead Shithead. Hey, that rhymes-ed!]

I don’t have the spoons to get a list of my top 100 albums together as others among us are doing… So here’s a plain old list of eleven random songs.

Say what?

Fire up the jukebox, don’t skip over anything, and take the first eleven that pop up. [Norbizness]

1. Outer Accelerator — Stereolab — +
2. Forgotten — Linkin Park — As Linkin Park songs go… — +
3. 54 Cymru Beats — Aphex Twin — =
4. Come On In My Kitchen — Robert Johnson — +
5. 19-2000 — Gorillaz — I suspect this song was diminished in my estimation by the 15,000 plays it got on the radio summer of ’01. It was probably one of the last things I heard before the terrorists ruined everything. — =
6. Baghdad — Offspring — Anti-American, anti-war-in-Iraq song with a reference to flag burning “our flags our burning, our flags are burning.” This is why we need a constitutional amendment… — +
7. There’s Just No Home for You Here — White Stripes — –
8. Soak the Sin — Blind Melon — Toward the end there’s some really cool guitar work on this one. — +
9. Don’t Go — Yaz — =
10. Stuck in the Middle With You — Stealers Wheel — [spoiler]The ear slicing scene in Reservoir Dogs.[/spoiler] — =
11. I Bleed — Pixies — Not sure how popular this notion is, but the Pixies’ Doolittle may just edge out Bossanova as my favorite Pixies album. It would make the top quarter of my top 100 albums. — +

Bonus #12: Street Fighting Man — Rage Against the Machine

I weeded a bunch of stuff off my player to make room for new music, which might have something to do with the fact there is only one “-” this week: +, +, =, +, =, +, -, +, =, =, +. Aggregate: +5.
