Friday Random Ten: First Five Live Edition

You know what day it is! Time to put your digital music player on shuffle (iPod this week), click play, and list the first ten songs that show up. You must resist the temptation to click past the bad or embarrassing songs.

1. “Knowing People” (Matthew Sweet)
2. “Stacked Actors” (Foo Fighters)
3. “Occurrence on the Border (Hopping on a Pogo-Gypsy Stick)” (Gogol Bordello)
4. “Witness” (Tori Amos)
5. “Wizard Chess” (Harry and the Potters)
6. “Whisper” (Evanescence)
7. “The Thénardier Waltz of Treachery” (from Les Misérables)
8. “‘Zat You, Santa Claus?” (Louis Armstrong)
9. “Serve the Servants” (Nirvana)
10. “Windsurfing Nation” (Broken Social Scene)

Most Favorite: Even though a few of my favorite artists are in this week’s list, I’m going with BBS’s “Windsurfing Nation”.

Least Favorite: “‘Zat You, Santa Claus?” because while Macy’s is all dolled up for Christmas, I’m not quite ready for it yet.
