After a very busy and topsy-turvy week that saw us in three countries on three continents, we had a very relaxing Saturday at home today. I treated myself, and watched eight straight hours of college football, something I doubt I’ll have the time to do again this autumn. I felt decadent doing so, and I felt overjoyed after my Golden Bears won for the first time in Eugene, Oregon since I was a twenty-year old junior at Cal.
In honor of this fine victory, a late Friday Random Ten. Not much explanation needed, save that #2 appears because I recently downloaded my favorite national anthems (the old Soviet one; Haydn’s original tune from the Emperor’s Quartet for Austria; France, Israel, South Africa.)
1. “Stupid Boy”, Sarah Buxton
2. “The Soviet National Anthem”, the Red Army Chorus
3. “Who Knew”, Pink
4. “Come to Bed”, Gretchen Wilson
5. “I’ve Always Loved You”, Third Day
6. “Windfall”, Son Volt
7. “Dimbran”, Catatonia
8. “Talk to Me of Mendocino”, Kate and Anna McGarrigle
9. “Anyway”, Martina McBride
10. “Holiday Inn”, Elton John
