Up late. Can't sleep. I'm experiencing a lot of anxiety related to the election and that's probably why. Maybe I shouldn't take this all so seriously, yeah?
Anyway, my bout with the "big eye" means you get your FRT a few hours early this week. To play along, get out your moble tune device, set to random play and list the first ten songs. Here are mine:
- Kashmir - Led Zepplin
- Alone Again Or - Calexico
- Lola's Theme - Shappeshifters
- Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
- Moribund Music of the 70s - Negativland/Over the Edge [my husband appears on this little ditty]
- There There - Radiohead
- Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day - Jethro Tull
- Tina Mas Fina - Billy Bacon & the Forbidden Pigs
- Can't Get You Out of My Head - ELO
- Whatever Happened to Corey Haim? - The Thrills
Okay. Now it's your turn.

I'm having simliar anxiety problems (just posted about it a few days back, actually). So much of my psychic landscape is going to change in a little more than a week; I can't get a grip on it.

Wasn't "Sam Hall," Jimmy Dean?
I'm in the middle of my list, via Body and Soul. I had done it through several songs, before I realized it wasn't quite in random order but alphabetical order of songs.
so I had Baby Got Back, Sir Mix-A-Lot, ; Baby it's Cold Outside, Ray Charles ;; Ballad of Ira Hayes, Johnny Cash ;; Ballad of a Dead Soulja, Tupac ;; Ballade of a Teenage Beauty Queen, Johnny Cash ....
