Friday Random Ten, Reasons to Go On Living Edition.

Sorry, it's been kind of a crappy week. Before we get to the iPod, give me a minute to cheer myself up with a different kind of Random Ten.



Ahh, much better. And now the real Ten:

1. Modest Mouse, "Dig Your Grave"
2. The Dust Brothers, "Marla"
3. U2, "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"
4. Dire Straits, "Walk of Life"
5. A Tribe Called Quest, "After Hours"
6. Moby, "James Bond Theme"
7. The B-52s, "Roam"
8. The Dave Brubeck Quartet, "Blue Rondo a la Turk"
9. Beastie Boys, "Heart Attack Man"
10. U2, "Mysterious Ways"

And a bonus pick-me-up, the climactic "chase" scene from one of the greatest movies ever made:



Aren't you in a much better mood now? Whether you are or not, put your own Random Ten, be they songs or anything else, in the comments.

Numbers 10, 6, and 1 look awfully tasty. Is Guthrie's even in Athens anymore, btw?

All good shit, save #2.

In my personal list, I'd substitute this clip for #2:

Did you ever see the Family Guy where they did the chase scene? Classic.

And, no, Guthrie's is no longer in Athens... sadly.

Damn, both locations (Baxter and East Athens-Cedar Shoals Drive?}.

Tragic- That place was a damn institution when I was at UGA.

No Guthrie's anymore in Athens?!? That's almost like Dreamland deciding to pack up and leave Birmingham, or TitleMax deciding to leave Columbus.

Dreamland's original location is in Tuscaloosa so your blog doesn't work so well but i agree that guthrie's is delicious
