I knew that my residency in the Berkshires was no vacation, but between rehearsals, calls for work, the concert tonight, and driving home afterwards (ETA: 1:30 am), I’m gonna be dead tired. So here’s to the Friday Random 10, which is hopefully going to do its job and take my mind off the next twelve hours:
- Smashing Pumpkins, “Stumbleine” (Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness)
- Nada Surf, “Concrete Bed” (The Weight is a Gift)
- Dead Can Dance, “Song of the Nile” (Spirit Chaser)
- Hank Williams, Sr., “Hey, Good Looking’”
- Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, “Leap Frog (alt tk)” (Bird and Diz)
- Wynton Marsalis Septet, “Marthaniel” (Citi Movement)
- Wynton Marsalis Septet, “Spring Yaoundé” (Citi Movement)
- Elvis Costello and the Attractions, “13 Steps Lead Down” (Brutal Youth)
- London Chamber Orchestra (James MacMillan, composer), “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do” (MacMillan: Seven Last Words)
- Radiohead, “Faithless the Wonder Boy” (Anyone Can Play Guitar [single])
