Friday Playlist: 15 "Random" Songs

Bernie tagged me on Facebook with one of those post-your-first-15-songs-on-shuffle notes. Here's my contribution, as a Grooveshark playlist. The instructions said no cheating, but I skipped songs that are on my iPod but aren't on Grooveshark. I could upload them, but I'm not putting in that much effort today. You can think this is a milder, digital equivalent of 78 snobs who seek out rare records just so they can smash them (meaning nobody else can have them, making their own copies that much more valuable) but you'd be wrong. So this is something like the first 20 or so, whittled down to the 15 I could find.

Friday Playlist: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

Enjoy David Shire's excellent soundtrack to the original Taking of Pelham One-Two-Three before its inevitably disappointing remake comes out next month.

Friday Playlist: "Disco Sucks"

Ron throws a faded jean jacket over a fading Loop T-shirt as he leaves his bedroom in the basement of his parents' house.

It's July, 1980, and Ron is 20 years old, so thanks to Jimmy Carter, he's got to go to the post office to register for selective service.

Ron drives a 1969 Dodge Dart, has a wispy mustache, and will soon have an associate's degree in HVAC Technology.

He starts the car and this mix he made back in high school is playing on the tape deck.
