The 'How Can Anyone Forget It's Friday' Friday Random 10

If I can do the FRT on Friday for two weeks in a row, I'll really be doing something...

1. Squeeze -- Pulling Mussels from a Shell
I'm a big Squeeze fan (not that there's anything wrong with that). I even saw them in concert when I was young and foolish (in Boston's Orpheum Theatre). This song however, reminds me of a cover band (whose name I can't remember) who was world famous on the BC campus many years ago. They always played this song and "Is She Really Going Out with Him" by Joe Jackson. And they always did a fine job.

2. Bonnie Tyler -- Total Eclipse of the Heart
Laugh all you want, there aren't many songs of the 1980s that come close to this one for sheer, operatic emotional impact. And the video was pretty creepy/cool too. A romantic "Village of the Damned."

3. The Strokes -- Red Light
From their latest. The CD is kind of growing on me, though the first half is much stronger than the second half of the disc. This song is okay, but it's really short so it's over soon.

4. Brandy -- Full Moon
I really like this song from 'Grown Up' Brandy. It's sexy but still classy. I'm glad she didn't feel the need to go straight-up hoochie with this one.

5. Aerosmith -- Angel's Eye
Though I desperately want to despise Aerosmith songs, they have a tendency to be very catchy, as is this one from the "Charlie's Angels" Soundtrack. I still wouldn't listen to it all the way through, if given the chance.

6. Tavares -- Heaven Must be Missing an Angel
Okay, I know I have a problem with my RNG, but here's yet another song from Charlie's Angels. What can you say? It's disco.

7. Revis -- Caught in the Rain
I think this is an excellent song. I don't know why it wasn't a much bigger hit.

8. Liz Phair -- Whip-Smart
This is the first LP song I ever heard. It holds a special place in my heart.

9. Bob Marley -- Jammin'
I'll hang my head in shame, but I can't really get into Bob Marley. He has some really good songs and they are all good and catchy and everything, but I almost always skip to the next song when they come on.

10. Bloc Party -- Banquet
I admit. I succumbed to the hype and bought this CD. I haven't really spent much time getting acquainted with it, but every song I've heard so far I've liked. Like this one. New Wave lives!
