Friday Random Top 10

psmith.jpg

In the tradition of American Idle and Rox Pop, every Friday I will turn the I-Pod to shuffle and see what it spits out. This Friday's Top Ten:

1. Stick in the Mud - The Jayhawks
2. Loveless Love - The Feelies
3. Silverfuck - Smashing Pumpkins
4. Beautiful Noise - Neil Diamond
5. Wrecking Ball - Neil Young
6. You can't have me - Alex Chilton
7. Free Money - Pattie Smith
8. Me, Myself, and I - Joan Armatrading
9. Political song for Michael Jackson - The Minutemen
10. I Believe - R.E.M.

Favorite song this week - Big Boys by Elvis Costello. This song perfectly reflects teenage boy angst trying to figure out that most mythical of creatures: the teenage girl. The acoustic bonus selection on My Aim is True is especially poignant as nothing captures awkard teenage love like a lone voice and a guitar playing a single chord.

What's your top ten?
