The 'I'm Doing this for You' Friday Random 10

Even though I am *extremely* busy, I am doing this FRT because I really
do care.

1. The Clash -- This is Radio Clash
Did I say 'Magnificent Seven' was my favorite Clash song? I was wrong.
This is.

2. Elvis Costello -- Watching the Detectives
Though "Allison" was the first EC song I ever heard (of course) this
was the one that made me go, 'Hey, this Elvis Costello guy is pretty
good.'

3. Pizzicato Five -- Magic Carpet Ride
There are songs I really, really like on the "Made in USA" disc. This
isn't one of them, unfortunately. And no, it's not a Steppenwolf
remake.

4. Gary Numan -- Listen to My Voice
In the days of Napster, I downloaded the entire playlist of a
(now-defunct) Internet radio station that used to be a really cool
over-the-air station. This was one of those songs, but what can I say?
It's no "Cars."

5. Eleni Mandell -- Pauline
Ironically enough, this song also came from the above playlist. I like
this one much, much better. Even though it's kind of mean, but I guess
that's okay.

6. Travis -- Sing
Though I wasn't all that impressed by the rest of the album, and the
video kinda sucked, I think this is a wonderful song. But then I'm a
sucker for a banjo. And any song that tells me to sing.

7. Fiona Apple --The Child is Gone
Though I really, really like some of FA's songs, others don't do
anything for me. This is one of the latter, I'm afraid. Not bad, but
nothing to write home about.

8. Goldfinger -- Just Like Heaven
Yes, this is a cover of The Cure song. And yes, it's surprisingly good.

9. Jack Johnson -- Bob Marley/Sublime Medley
Let me state for the record that I am categorically underwhelmed by
Jack Johnson. By everything he's ever done. Including this. The DH, on
the other hand, loves him, which is why this is here.

10. Outkast -- Good Day, Good Sir
You know, this trend of putting skits on rap albums is sooo old. The
first time you hear it, it's cute, or funny or whatever. The 10th time?
Maddening. The 25th time? Makes you want to kill, or at least take a
hostage? This one defies that rule (sort of); it's still somewhat
amusing.
