Friday Random Ten: Stephen King's Stolen Car edition

1. "Asturias"--Bola Sete, Tour de Force.

2. "Stolen Car"--Beth Orton, Central Reservation.

3. "Jockey Full of Bourbon"--Tom Waits, Rain Dogs.

4. "Show Me a Little Shame"--Ben Harper, Burn to Shine. This CD was abandoned, perhaps accidentally, by our house's former residents--happily for us. Harper is the favorite son of the underground scene in Claremont, CA, where I once lived.

5. "Johanna"--Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street--Original Cast Recording. We saw a stripped-down production of this in LA with Kelsey Grammer in the title role. He was perfect except for the fact that he can't really sing.

6. "Pont Des Arts"--St. Germain, Tourist.

7. "Like a Virgin"--Lords of the New Church, These People Are Nuts! (IRS Records 10th Anniversary Compiliation). This is not really a brilliant piece of music, but it works well enough as satire.

8. "I Surrender, Dear"--Benny Goodman Sextet, Benny Goodman Sextet Featuring Charlie Christian. Ooooh, smooooooth.

9. "Your Mother Was the Lightning"--The Court & Spark, Hearts

10. "The Stand"--The Alarm, These People Are Nuts! (IRS Records 10th Anniversary Compiliation). This, on the other hand, is a pretty brilliant little rock number, in a dopey sort of way.
