There will be eight 16 and 17 year old girls in my house tonight. I think Charlie and I will try to go the Wilco concert (even though we don't have tix) to get away. How about a Random Top Ten:
1. Life From a Window -- The Jam
2. Cry, Cry, Cry -- Johnny Cash
3. Minneapolis -- Lucinda Williams
4. All You Fascists -- Billy Bragg and Wilco
5. Pieces of Truth -- Foxboro Hot Tubs
6. Away with Murder -- Camera Obscura
7. Friday I'm in Love -- The Cure
8. The Static Age -- Green Day
9. Another Life -- Jack Logan
10. Copperhead Road -- Steve Earle
Bonus: Ruby Tuesday -- The Rolling Stones
A little variety there. That Camera Obscura album is awesome. What's your top 10?
While not a huge Simply Red fan, I do like a few songs; "Sunrise" is my favorite (special thanks to Hall & Oates)

The denizens of Seattle are uniquely positioned to appreciate your transition from dome to proper baseball field. I hope your new stadium is as well thought out as Safeco Field (where the Mariners now play). It's a whole new experience.

Camera Obscura will be in my top 5 with ease. Wonderful stuff.
Did you make it to Wilco? I'll be interested to hear how the show went. I caught the Bottle Rockets in Seattle last night. Whew! My earballs are still ringing! I'm going to have to start wearing earplugs before I'm as deaf as Bob Mould ...
Good result on the Twins last night. But Zack Greinke today. Yikes! That's the very definition of a Tall Order.
George, glad to see still do Random top 10s. Keep em coming.
Wilco was great, full review later.
Nice songs
My list is almost same. So, I think.....I don't need to mention again.
