That Friday Music Shuffle (9/11/18)

by Rick Johansen

I need some music. Lots of it. To that end, I’m going to inflict some on you, albeit only by way of song titles and artists. Because it’s that time of the week when I set up my iPod (ask your dads, kids) and let it play ten tunes at random and post it on here. Pointless? Oh, yes, but no more pointless than anything else that appears on this website .

I’m back in my Man Cave, cup of Earl Grey at the ready (I know how to party, me) and I’m ready to go.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Let’s rock.

  1. Plaster Caster by Kiss. You don’t want to know who and what Plaster Caster was.  Classic Kiss, though.
  2. Scatterbrain (As dead as leaves) by Radiohead. From the wonderful Hail to the Thief Long Player.
  3. Chloroform by Phoenix. Perfect from the Bankrupt LP.
  4. Don’t Ask Me Questions by Lynyrd Skynyrd. This would be the legendary original line up, not the current touring version with just the one original member.
  5.  The Troubles by U2. From their not too bad Songs of Innocence which they gave away for free on iTunes, which is just as well since whilst I don’t mind them, I’d have never had paid money for it!
  6. Love Me Tomorrow by Boy Scaggs. From his defining album Silk Degrees comes this track written by Toto’s David Paich. If you love great music, it is the law to own this record.
  7. Real Love by Clean Bandit ft Jess Glynne. Our Jess has a great set of pipes which may or may not be autotuned. Lovely.
  8. Across the Universe by the Beatles. Simply magnificent.
  9. Open Arms by Journey. From their classic album Journey’s Greatest Hits. Nice.
  10. Visibility Zero by Kansas. If you don’t like slightly prog rock from the USA, with crashing cymbals and lots of guitars, you’ll hate this. However, I love it.

That’s all, folks!
