Friday Random 10: 1/1/2009

No re-start of this blog would be complete without a return to the Friday Random 10 feature, where I pull off 10 random songs in a row from the iPod and do some kind of video focus on one song or artist that shows up. Here you go:

1. “Black Friday” (Steely Dan, Katy Lied)
2. “Broken” (Jack Johnson, Sing-a-Longs and Lullabies (Curious George soundtrack))
3. “Hammer to Fall” (Queen, Classic Queen)
4. “The Dancing Flowers” (The Wiggles, Whoo Hoo Wiggly Gremlins)
5. “Work in Progress” (Alan Jackson, Drive)
6. “Let Everything That Has Breath” (Phillips, Craig, and Dean, Let My Words Be Few)
7. “Spanish Fantasy” (Phil Keaggy, Acoustic Sketches)
8. “Can You (Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist)” (The Wiggles, Here Comes the Big Red Car)
9. “Partita #3 (iv)” (Paul Galbraith, Bach: The Sonatas and Partitas)
10. “The Calling” (Yes, Talk)

If by some accident you have never heard of Phil Keaggy (#7), here’s a video that gives an idea why he’s all over my music library. This is “Addison’s Walk” from Beyond Nature, which was a staple of my graduate school-days listening diet.

That’s just ridiculous.
