    The Friday Five: September 23, 2011

    Friday Five

    Friday Five : ‘frī-(,)dā,-dē ‘fīv : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we’ll have a guest, but most of the time it’s just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments.

    The Five:

    Snaggletooth” by Motörhead (from No Remorse, 2001)

    It’s too damn early for Lemmy. Thankfully, Motörhead tunes tend to be on the short side.

    Before You Were Born” by Toad the Wet Sprocket (from 1992-09-16: Fox Theater, Boulder, CO, USA, 1992)

    This is from an excellent soundboard recording of an equally quality performance by Toad. Save for, of course, when Glen flubs the second line.

    Mighty Mighty” by Earth, Wind & Fire (from The Eternal Dance, 1992)

    I’ve been listening to a lot of Earth, Wind & Fire lately.

    “I Believe” by Chicago (from Chicago 18, 1986)

    I spent the entire song waiting for a key change that didn’t happen.

    Traffic” by Ned’s Atomic Dustbin (from Brainbloodvolume, 1995)

    Brainbloodvolume is a criminally overlooked record.

    What’s on your shuffle today?
