The temp job is keeping me busy today, so I’ll have to make this brief.
First, I’ll start with this week’s Random Friday Top 10. I have to admit I’m cheating a little bit: I can’t listen to music here at work, so the Top 10 was culled from my Pandora Quick Mix two nights ago. Here it is:
-
“Precious Illusions” – Alanis Morrissette (Under Rug Swept)
-
“Air” – Ben Folds (Godzilla soundtrack album)
-
“Pisces Apple Lady” – Leon Russell (Leon Russell)
-
“Hang Low” – Momus (Ocky Milk)
-
“Drown Them Out” – Viva Voce (Get Yr Blood Sucked Out)
-
“Severed Head” – Pearl Jam (Pearl Jam)
-
“The Morning Sad” – Veruca Salt (Eight Arms to Hold You)
-
“Sheep” – Pink Floyd (Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd)
-
“Rinse” - Vanessa Carlton (Be Not Nobody)
-
“Slow Like Honey” – Fiona Apple (Tidal)
Elsewhere, there’s word out of Iceland this morning that the sports world has lost one of its most bizarre, elusive, enigmatic, and legendary figures: Bobby Fischer. If the game of chess could boast a maverick outlaw, then Fischer was that guy. A jaw-droppingly non-linear life and career that, to my mind, is ripe for some sort of dramatic or literary rendering. Until that happens, you can rent this movie. It’s a freaking classic.
