Matt, I’m not growing tired of this…and I note that other people have picked up your lead…plus, it is a weekly reminder of how tragically unhip I am…it reminds me that I need to update my music collection beyong 1991. Cheers, Frank

Matt, I love this mostly because it’s rare I’ve even heard of more than one of the musicians on your list.

Can I send you some MP3’s to add to your collection?

ok, ok, I’ll keep it going.

For the record, I didn’t come up with this — I heard about it through Rox Populi, The Long Cut, and Feministe.

And also for the record, I have absolutely no idea how that Les Sequelles song made it onto my computer — maybe it was one of the ones that Martin suggested in a previous list?

I’ll stand by everything else, though. It was very tough to choose a favorite between Arkology and Imperial Bedroom.

I just wish that Rod had his music collection digitized. His knowledge dwarfs mine, and he introduced me to so many great bands that I’ve lost count…

And yes, Elisa–I would love to get some mp3s from you.

I’m very slowly clambering aboard the musicological superhighway, coming ever so gradually to the point where I might conceivably purchase a new laptop and an Ipod. At which point I’ll be all over the random ten.

In the meantime, though, it’s all Go-Betweens, all the time.

mine are never that obscure. but i’ll give it a go:

1. nervous in the alley, less than jake
2. steven’s last night in town, ben folds five
3. take on me, a-ha
4. stick shifts, safety belts, cake
5. dreams, allman brothers
6. tom sawyer, rush
7. dixieland delight, alabama
8. the maker, dave matthews band
9. walking down the hill, travis
10.black eyed dog, nick drake

ps, matt: please will you do a ‘caption this photo’ on this? i realize i am the only gator in your parts and that you probably don’t take special requests, but i am just in love with this picture (and the scene it was taken from), and would love to see some coat regulars give it the old college try. it’s just so great.

Friday Random Ten - 06.24.05

Time for Friday Random Ten, where you hit

Jess: I’m definitely open to suggestions for “Caption This Photo” posts. If anyone has a picture they want to see up there, please send an email to matt AT tatteredcoat DOT com.

I’m not sure about this particular photo, though, at least for the TC — I’d want to see some Billy Martin-esque dirt kicking and spittle spewing for an arguing-with-the-ump pic. But I heartily encourage TC readers to head over and caption it on your site.

I just got into this thing a few weeks ago, and I think it’s a great little musical survey — I like to see what’s on everyone else’s lists.

I think your site is fantastic and I was hoping you might link trade with me. Let me know if it is cool, and I’ll add you. You can email me at Jessika1028@gmail.com, if you’re interested.
