friday random ten: the late night, sad sack edition

Turn on your music player, hit random, record the first ten songs that play, yada yada.

This is a good exercise for me because it forces me to listen to stuff I've never really taken the time to listen to before because I'd rather not hear something I don't know at that moment in time. Was that a run on sentence? I dunno. I just watched a Woody Allen movie, I have no concept of reality anymore.

1. John Lennon- It's So Hard
2. Torben Floor- Do I Even Know I Care?
3. The Beatles- Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey
4 Rufus Wainwright- Not Ready to Love
5. The Postal Service- Nothing Better
6. Mingo Fishtrap- Superman
7. Youngblood Brass Band feat. Talib Kweli- Y'all Stay Up
8. Maazel/Cleveland Phil- Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet Scene 4 Dance of the Knights (mm, bass trombone goodness)
9. Eklipse Soul- Psicose
10. Louis Armstrong- Dinah

Bonus!

Since it popped up a few weeks ago on my random, Nina Simone's version of 'I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl' has been my theme song. Ugh. I'm going crazy here.

I want a little sugar
in my bowl
I want a little sweetness
down in my soul
I could stand some lovin'
Oh so bad
I feel so funny and I feel so sad

I want a little steam
on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up
so they'll go
Whatsa matter Daddy
Come on, save my soul
I need some sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
I want some sugar in my bowl

You been acting different
I've been told
Soothe me
I want some sugar in my bowl
I want some steam
on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
Whatsa matter Daddy
Come on save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
I want some - yeah - in my bowl.
