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:

“Armageddon It” by Def Leppard (from Vault: Greatest Hits 1980-1995, 1995)

It’s not my favorite Def Leppard song, but it is as catchy as VD at the Jersey Shore (or, somewhat ironically, a Def Leppard show during the Hysteria tour.)

“Candy Store Rock” by Led Zeppelin (from Boxed Set, 1990)

The Zeppelin box set was standard issue for high school students in the early ’90s.

“Nobody But You” by The Apples in Stereo (from Travellers in Space and Time, 2010)

Phew, I was getting worried that Matt Wardlaw had somehow possessed this week’s shuffle.

“Wrapped Up in Books” by Belle and Sebastian (from Dear Catastrophe Waitress, 2003)

I’m suddenly getting sleepy.

“Come Up to My Room (feat. Tha Dogg Pound)” by Jodeci (from Murder Was the Case, 1994)

Whoa, that is like puling the emergency break while speeding—albeit rather gently—down the highway.

What’s on your shuffle today?
