FRIDAY RANDOM TEN - MISTRESS OF SARCASM EDITION

The Mistress of Sarcasm.

What with the Mistress of Sarcasm’s birthday coming up Monday, She Who Must Be Obeyed had the bright idea of posting this week’s Friday Random Ten using the music from the Mistress’s iPod.

Why not, I thought. My Esteemed Readers are probably sick to death of seeing the same stuff here, week after week. Frank Zappa. Ben Folds. The Beatles. Hookalakah Meshobbab. This way, they’ll finally be exposed to some quality music.

Thus, here followeth a Scattershot Selection from the Mistress’s very own Little White Choon Box. Let’s see what’s playing today:

1. Lover, You Should Have Come Over - Jeff Buckley
   
   
2. King Kong - Daniel Johnston
   
   Daniel Johnston is living proof that insanity and talent can coexist in the same individual. His music has an offbeat charm...and he’s pretty much a complete whacko. Check out the documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston for more about this exceptional musician.
   
   
3. Alone Down There - Modest Mouse
   
   
4. He Keeps Me Alive - Sally Shapiro
   
   
5. Lucky Ball and Chain - They Might Be Giants
   
   
6. Shampoo Suicide - Broken Social Scene
   
   
7. Not If You Were The Last Dandy On Earth - The Brian Jonestown Massacre
   
   
8. Picture Book - The Kinks
   
   
9. Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Your Grievances - Daniel Johnston
   
   
10. Gnossienne #1 - Erik Satie
    
    

It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
