    The Friday Five: October 9, 2009

    Friday Five : ˈfrī-(ˌ)dā,-dē ˈfīv : On the sixth day of every week I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes and share my five and drop a little knowledge and insight for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, sometimes there isn’t. Sometimes we have 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:

    Editor’s Note: With barely time to listen to five tracks today I’m presenting an abbreviated shuffle. Once a few of you chime in I’ll add your content to the post… that’s right we’re crowd-sourcing this week’s five!! – Michael

    Wesley Willis Fiasco – “Girls on Film” (from The Duran Duran Tribute Album, 1997)

    Van Halen – “Runaround” (from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, 1991)

    Prince – “Te Amo Corazón” (from 3121, 2006)

    Beastie Boys – “Body Movin’” (from Hello Nasty, 1998)

    Dog Eat Dog – “Games (feat. Ronnie James Dio)” (from Play Games, 1996)

    Who’s got the next Five?

    Matt from Addicted to Vinyl:

    Elton John – “Can I Put You On” (from 11-17-70)
    Bruce Hornsby – “Dreamland”
    Caroline’s Spine – “Deep In Your Wake”
    Eddie Vedder – “No Ceiling”
    Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – “Yer So Bad”

    Bill C

    Kelly Willis – “Fading Fast”

    Kelly Willis is one of the country’s best country singers. If you are not familiar with her, I highly recommend you do so.
    Steve Earle – “She’s a Mover”

    I am not a big Steve Earle fan (I always felt I should like him more than I do) but this is a great cover.
    Beatles – “I Am Happy Just to Dance With You”

    Enough said.
    Marshall Tucker Band – “Can’t You See” (Live)

    OK, I admit it. I love MTB, and a host of other southern rock bands from the ’70s. This is a great version of a great song.
    The Yardbirds – “Certain Girl”

    Yes, the same song that Warren Zevon later made famous. Great song.

    Keep em coming!
