Friday Five: 10/24

In which I blather about five songs randomly selected from my iPod playlist as I listen to them.

"Not Enough Time" - INXS
This one is probably not one of their better known songs, but it is one of my favorites from them. It is from the early '90s, just after their apogee. I really love the rhythm section and piano, especially.

"Down on the Corner" - Creedence Clearwater Revival
During a gaming session, if the phrase "early in the evening" is used, inevitably someone will start singing this song. I sort of like it despite that fact. It exemplifies CCR as John Fogarty's Jug Band, I think.

"Suicide Blonde" - INXS
I have no idea what this song is going on about. I dig the harmonica on it, though.

"Mexican Radio" - Wall of Voodoo
"I wish I were in Tijuana/ Eating barbecued iguana." I don't know why, but I've always enjoyed this song. I have a friend who was always freaked out by the video - I think it was the guy's face emerging from the pot of beans that did it.

"Angel Main Theme (Sanctuary Extended Remix)" - Darling Violetta
Yes, I do on occasion buy songs that have been used as themes for TV shows. You have to admit, though, the Angel theme kicks pretty hard. This remix rounds it out to 3 and half minutes, but keeps the energy of the original.
