Here it is! In the tradition of American Idle, every Friday I will turn the I-Pod to shuffle and see what it spits out. This Friday's Top Ten:
1. Indifference - Pearl Jam
2. Almost Blue - Elvis Costello
3. Let's Ride - Guided by Voices
4. Summertime - Janis Joplin
5. Burn, Baby Burn - Rev. F.D. Kirkpatrick
6. Returning the Screw - Fugazi
7. Mincer Ray - Guided by Voices
8. We Got the Neutron Bomb - The Weirdos
9. Leaving on a Jet Plane - Peter, Paul, and Mary
10. Adult Books - X
Favorite Song this week? Since I have two Guided by Voices songs in this week's top 10, I thought I'd go for the trifecta and call out GbV's Teenage FBI as my favorite. It's a perfect sugary "teenager-in-love" song with hooks a mile wide, frothy lyrics, and a synthesizer-led chorus that just brings down the house. More on Guided by Voices in the near future.
What's yourTop 10?
Well here is my top ten.
1. Mary Jane Alanis Morisette
2. You Were Mine Dixie Chicks
3. You Had a Bad Day Daniel Powter
4. Jazzman Carole King
5. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, Some Kind of Wonderful, Up On the Roof. Carole King and James Taylor Medley
6. Meet Virginia Train
7. If You Could See Me Now Dixie Chicks
8. Talk Dirty To Me Poison
9. Everything Alanis Morisette
10. The Winnder Takes It All ABBA
Interesting mix. I love the Carole King James Taylor medley. And Jazzman is about my all time favorite song. Some day I will get Britty to play that song on her Saxophone! Yeah.

“Don’t let anyone ever change your funky style� ~Eric Lindell
