FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Hey, kids - what day is it?

Friday, of course. Which means that it’s time for me to post my weekly Selection o’ Songs ’n’ Such, pooched out of the redoubtable iPod d’Elisson.

We’ve finished our big painting project. The Mistress of Sarcasm’s old bedroom, formerly festooned with all manner of high-schooly wall decorations, is now a quiet oasis of loveliness. The painting supplies have been put up, the furniture moved back into place, dropcloths removed, switchplates reattached.

Now the only parts of the house with the original builder’s paint job are the garage and inside the closets. We have no immediate plans to change them.

On a separate note, this Saturday night marks the beginning of that most somber Jewish fast day, Tisha b’Av - the ninth day of the month of Av. It’s the most depressing day of the year for observant Jews...and while I am not the most religiously scrupulous fellow around, I will at least refrain from advertising any of my activities that might be considered not in the spirit of the day. Like listening to music.

Speaking of which, it ain’t Tisha b’Av yet. What’s playing?
  1. Swift As The Wind - The Incredible String Band

  2. ? (Modern Industry) - Fishbone

    These are the voices of modern industry
    They speak the words that bring you together
    These are the sounds gears grinding
    These are the round levers
    These are the sounds behind the machines
    These are the voices of modern industry
    These are the voices

    These are the voices of modern industry
    They spell the power that fuels the factory
    These are milk and oats of the mix
    And screwed... of the airtime
    This is the sound behind the machine
    These are the voices
    These are the voices
    These are the voices

    This is an emergency broadcast
    This is only a test...
    This is only a test...
    This is only a test...

    These are the voices of modern industry
    This is the music that brings us together
    These are the... that start the emotion
    Continue the motion, the motion, the motion...
    This is the music behind the machine
    These are the voices of modern industry
    These are the voices
    These are the voices...

    WBAS, WOWW, hah, WAX, WDUD
    KSIN, we refute you...
    KUSA, Hallelujah!
    KILD, that means “killed”
    Hey man, we have faith in you...
