Trevor Pinnock "BWV 988 Variato 12 Canone alla Quarta" Bach: Goldberg Variations
Well, the last three in regulation have to set a weirdness-up-against each other record, no? Figures harpsichord would take us out. Crenshaw gets pick of the litter, with a strong second from one of my favorite songs by one group covered by one of my favorite bands.

You've been hitting the Graham Parker pretty hard lately...
1. Desire -- Hank and Ruth
2. Blowin' Down the Road -- Woody Guthrie
3. Wordless Chorus -- My Morning Jacket
4. Newest Industry -- Husker Du
5. Star Spangled Banner -- Jimi Hendrix
6. Nothing But Blood -- Rev. F.D. Kirkpatrick
7. I Zimbra (live) -- Talking Heads
8. Berkeley Mews -- The Kinks
9. Pressure Drop -- Clash
10. Beautiful World -- Devo
Bonus: Shutup -- The Replacements.
I challenge you to find a list that has Hendrix followed by Reverend Kirkpatrick followed by the Talking Heads in full African beat.
1. Mirror's Reflection -- Taproot (an Ann Arbor, MI band I caught some time ago...sorta a nu-metal group...ok for what they do...support local talent!)
2. Blackened -- Metallica (wow...metalfest so early in the morning)
3. Golden Ratio -- Mudvayne (and yet more metal...I hate these guys tho...gott get around to deleting them off the iPod)
4. Cross Town Traffic -- Jimi Hendrix (FINALLY!!)
5. 94 Hours -- As I Lay Dying
6. Words (Unspoken) -- Boney James (Geez...from searing metal of AILD to Boney James, a cheap Kenny G knockoff??)
7. Gyroscope -- In Flames (loves me some Swede metal)
8. Security -- Susan Tedeschi (cover song of the Otis redding hit, she does well with this one)
9. Love Walks In -- Van Halen
10. Behind Space -- In Flames
My God..for the most part, a veritable headbangers ball this morning. My neck hurts.
I'm always glad to see Lene Lovich on someone's list...
Pan and Regaliz - Waiting in the Monsters' Garden
Au Pairs - It's Obvious
Rufus Thomas - Walking the Dog
Dengue Fever - March of the Balloon Animals
Big Youth - Hit the Road, Jack
Shonen Knife - Ah, Singapore
Scientist - Plague of the Zombies
Shriekback - Devil's Onions
Karl Hector & the Malcouns - Mystical Brotherhood
Los 5-U-4 - Baila, Ven y Baila
Kind of an odd list for me...
Welcome to the Friday party, Smitty, just don't scrape your big hair on the door....(OK, that doesn't really make sense).
You can't hit the Graham Parker too strong, Free. And that's not just T-Heads in full African Beat, it's full Hugo Ball beat, too.
I've got 3 Lene Lovich, so having one pop up shows good taste on the random's part.
