I’ve been letting Roy have all the fun with “List Day,” but today I decided I’d throw my hat in the ring too. So, here is my attempt at a Friday list.

Random 10:

1. Spoon, “Metal Detector”
2. Gnarls Barkley, “Smiley Faces”
3. Death From Above 1979, “Black History Month”
4. Regina Spektor, “Apres Moi”
5. the Annuals, “Complete or Completing”
6. The Good, the Bad and the Queen, “History Song”
7. Rogue Wave, “Bird on a Wire”
9. New Pornographers, “Electric Version”
10. Arcade Fire, “Intervention”

5 Books (Off the Top of My Head) I Would Recommend to an Acquaintance

1. “Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs” by Chuck Klosterman
2. “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman
3. “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay” by Michael Chabon
4. “Bluebeard” by Kurt Vonnegut
5. “You Shall Know Our Velocity” by Dave Eggers

5 TV Commercials that Make Me Cringe

1. Valtrex, “I have herpes, but she doesn’t…”
2. The toilet paper commercials where the cartoon bears literally shit in the woods
3. The Wendy’s commercial that uses the Violent Femmes’ “Blister in the Sun” as a soundtrack
4. Commercial for a specific brand of birth control that tries to convince women to use it instead because it a) makes your period last less than a day, and b) clears up acne
5. The Mac commercial where the PC gets a webcam installed (thats more bitter than cringe, really).
