Friday Random Ten

[collisionwork]

At home. No rehearsal today, but plenty of work. We recorded a good deal of the dialogue for the backing tracks of World Gone Wrong last night at The Brick. Today, I'll see if I can do some track constructions and mixing. I may have to spend the time pulling out all the CDs and other sources of the backing music and effects that I need.


But first, Friday Random Ten:


1. "Barnabas" - The Vampire State Building - Dark Shadows —The 30th Anniversary Collection

Unbelievably stupid and awful tie-in novelty song with the Dark Shadows TV show. So bad I have to keep it in here. Yeeesh.


2. "Jerkin' Back and Forth" - DEVO - Pioneers Who Got Scalped: The Anthology
3. "Boogie Boy" - Iggy Pop - American Caesar

now every mornin i wake up at nine

i'm eating cheerios with red wine

i'm reading that book but it's not too good

cuz my boogie head is made outta wood . . .
. . . i like to eat spaghetti with tomato sauce

i like to eat clams with spanish moss

i like to go down to mash potato town

cuz that's where a boogie boy can get down . . .

(god I love Iggy)


4. "Dirty Beat" - Gert Wilden & Orchestra - Schulmädchen Report
5. "After the Storm" - Stan Ridgway - Holiday in Dirt
6. "Together" - William Shatner - Has Been
7. "Alright Already" - Combustible Edison - mix disk from my dad
8. "Hide If You Want To Hide" - The Cedars - Pebbles Volume 12 - The World
9. "Jerusalem on the Jukebox" - Richard Thompson - Amnesia
10. "I Am the Walrus (basic track, no overdubs)" - The Beatles - Anthology 2


The iPod now stands at 21,086 songs, 72.88 gigs full. I keep whittling it down and adding more stuff. At some point, I'll run out of room and REALLY get serious about cutting things out.

And I'm down to the last two usable cat photos I have put up here yet. Need new pictures. Here's Hooker lurking under my chair, waiting for attention:





And a really old shot of Moni & Hooker curled up, before Hooker got the cauliflower ear:





Back to work.

I enjoyed Brick By Brick, especially after some of his previous albums, but American Caesar really grabbed me -- as opposed to a bunch of my friends, equally Iggy fans, who preferred the following album, Naughty Little Doggie, which didn't do much for me.

Serious YMMV, it seems.
