Your RBR Friday Random Ten...

by Todd on May 23, 2008 8:45 AM CDT in Random10 Comment 24 comments

...was apparently constructed with the help of Rock 99.5, Birmingham's Home for Pure Classic Rock!

I was going to make a joke about how my love of classic rock has yet to manifest itself in a mullet and wrestling pants, but then I realized "hey, that guy has two trashy bikini babes hanging on him!" and decided mullets and wrestling pants are nothing to joke about since I love trashy bikini babes and wish I had two following me around at all times. And yes, I am aware it is only an illustration...

So here's how we do: Put your iPod/iTunes/Zune/whatever on shuffle and list the first ten songs that come up. No cheating to make yours look cooler, so if your list looks like it might have come from the contemporary soft rock hits "your wife/girlfriend" programmed into your radio presets you'll just have to suck it up for some ridicule. REO Speedwagon what!

1. The Allman Brothers - Melissa
2. Soul Asylum - Sexual Healing
3. War - Low Rider
4. Midlake - Roscoe
5. Metallica - Master of Puppets
6. Aerosmith - Honkin' on Bobo
7. ZZ Top - Tube Snake Boogie
8. Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
9. Pink Floyd - Sheep
10. The Rolling Stones - Mixed Emotions

Nico2.0's "Song of the Week"

DeVotchKa - "Venus in Furs"

Re: Shakira

Huh. I thought “LA” referred to “Latin America” with her and not “Louisiana”

Hmmm...

...it’s just a simple flash player.

I think Todd said he had another player that people found worked better for them. I’ll see if he can locate that.

Also, I’m going to go tweak some of the code and see if that helps.

I had

no problems with it. Maybe it depends on your browser. I’m using Firefox, and it works for me.

Just checked it in Explorer....

...and I couldn’t get it to work in Explorer. I use Mozilla Firefox. Not sure how to correct that, but I will work on it for you.

Until I figure it out, here’s a live version of the song on The YouTubes. Sound is a little muffled, but you’ll get the point.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention it’s a Velvet Underground cover.

Nico...

It’s funny how some things work with Explorer and doesn’t with Firefox, and vise versa. Different platform, and code I would think.

Hey Spock...

......you got your 10 in early today. Do you have my fav Bob Marley, Three Little Birds, on your iPod? “Don’t worry ‘bout a thing, cause every little thing’s gonna be alright…” It became my mantra after 9/11.

I found myself near a computer around 7pm last night when normally I wait till Saturday morning to post my 10…it’s funny that you noticed.
and yea, I got “Three Little Birds” on the iPod…it’s a CLASSIC…

I just watched/listened...

...to a bunch of different versions on youtube. Nobody touches the original, but Tracy Chapman did a bang up job. Love her voice. Dave Matthews did it at a free concert for Va Tech last fall and the crowd sang that one line for about 3 minutes. Gave me chills.

Meant to add..

I was in Jamaica right after 9/11 and I had every band play it for me and those few of us that had been brave enough to fly so soon.
