Random Friday Strikes Again

Okay, Kids. It's Friday and you know what that means. Break out those iPods, get them a-shufflin' and tell the blogosphere what's playing. The rules are old hat at this point: the first ten songs. No apron-wringing.

Here are the goods:

1. Half a Person (Best I) -- The Smiths
2. Can't Get a Line (Satellite Rides) -- Old 97's
3. Parachutes (Team Boo) -- Mates of State
4. Can't Stop the World (Beauty and the Beat) -- The Go-Gos
5. Splendor in the Grass (The Ladybug Transistor) -- The Ladybug Transistor
6. Revival (A Decade of Hits 1969-1979) -- The Allman Brothers
7. The Littlest Bird (Blue Horse) -- The Be Good Tanyas
8. Maria (No Exit) -- Blondie
9. My Name is Jonas (The Blue Album) -- Weezer
10. Saddest Quo (Discover a Lovelier You) -- The Pernice Brothers

General Thoughts: Not too much 80s this week. A little more indie rock. I like it.

Seen Live: None! Shit, that's a rare thing indeed.

Favorite Song: This is a toughie, so I'm going with a tie between "Can't Get a Line" (super catchy) and "Saddest Quo," my anthem this year.

Least Favorite Song: Truth be told, for as much of a Smiths fan as I am, "Half a Person" just doesn't do it for me. Unless Patty Griffin's singing. Take that, Moz.

Favorite Album: Satellite Rides and The Ladybug Transistor.

Least Favorite Album: Allman Brothers. I'm generally not a fan of the jam band (I find the noodling self-indulgent and annoying after a while), but DD loves these guys and I do dig "Revival."
