  #MondayRandom10 Oh wow, this is the best selection I've had in a whlie. Apart from the Meat Puppets, Siouxsie & The Banshees, and Untouchables tracks, I know all the rest of them! No, wait, the Blondie one isn't "Sunday Girl", it's a latter-day track from "Panic of Girls". But still, pretty decent.

  #MondayRandom10 Another list of only vaguely familiar songs. The Schoolhouse Rock one I might not have seen, the Northern Pikes one is a B-side, the TMBG is too new, and I rarely have a chance with Stereolab in the first place. Maybe the Concrete Blonde and Thrill Squad ones, or the George Stiles one from the Moll Flanders musical.

  #AlternateFridayMusic for October 23 2026 the theme is "Remix" Artist: They Might Be Giants Album: Miscellaneous T (1991) Song: The World's Address (Joshua Fried Remix) I first heard TMBG's first two albums because of a friend on the Internet (back in 1992) who mailed me some tapes of her favourite music. She loved "The World's Address", and I tried to, but I found it kind of meh. And then I heard this version on the B-sides compilation "Miscellaneous T&qu...

  #AlternateFridayMusic for October 9 2026 the theme is "Vitriol" Artist: Elvis Costello & The Attractions Album: All This Useless Beauty (1996) Song: Complicated Shadows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5A8ZUB6b1I But the jury was dismissed Took his neck and they give it a twist So you see you won't be missed in those Complicated Shadows I find Elvis Costello extremely uneven, but this album is a high point. This song was originally written for Johnny Cash (and a later album...

  #AlternateFridayMusic September 25 2026 the cue is "Bleak" Artist: Chris de Burgh Album: Eastern Wind (1980) Song: Eastern Wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCJRLcI5uzU Chris de Burgh was on the verge of his breakthrough here--his next album would have "Don't Pay The Ferryman" and a few years after that he'd hit "The Lady In Red". And this album was already easing a little into lighter pop numbers. But the closing number is a quiet-to-intense number ab...

  #AlternateFridayMusic for September 11 2026 the theme is "Parody" Artist: Weird Al Yankovic Album: Polka Party (1986) Song: Dog Eat Dog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuSlrEoPWoQ Yes, I know that somebody already posted a Weird Al song, but that was just a regular parody. I'm always more impressed by his "style parodies" where he's trying to encompass a band's style as a whole rather than a particular song. I didn't always notice these at first, and this m...

Dark genre pastiche artists who commit to the bit? Chameleons who don't have one true style, voice or face. They Might Be Giants on really hard drugs, I said once. I don't even know. Not afraid to push the envelope too far. They did a song...

  #MondayRandom10 Definitely know the Fleetwood Mac, the Indigo Girls, the Cars, the Tragically Hip...maybe the Big Star, Incubus and Stereolab. (The Mighty Lightweights, I seem to recall, was an album that I bought on eMusic by accident when I just wanted to preview it.)
