Saturday Not-So-Random 20
I haven’t done a Friday Random 10 since February. That’s right, February.
Since then, Fred at Slacktivist has put a little twist on the ol’ end-of-the-week music list: listing an alphabetical block from his collection and asking people to post what he’s missing.
This week, he’s posted a list of songs starting with the word “Don’t.” It’s a pretty good list to begin with, but when I opened iTunes, I discovered that I have 134 songs that start with “Don’t”! (And I’m still not done ripping all our cds.)
Anyhow, I’m game… I’ll see Fred’s songs and raise him another 20:
“Don’t Break” - September 67
“Don’t Call Me Whitney, Bobby” - Islands
“Don’t Change Your Plans” - Ben Folds Five
“Don’t Drop the Baby” - The Judybats
“Don’t Forget About Delight” - Bruce Cockburn
“Don’t Forget About Me” - Nanci Griffith
“Don’t Get Your Back Up” - Sarah Harmer
“Don’t Go (Giving Your Love Away)” - Sonia Dada
“Don’t Have to Be So Sad” - Yo La Tengo
“Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” - Santa Esmeralda
“Don’t Let the Bastards Grind You Down” - The Toasters
“Don’t Let’s Start” - They Might Be Giants
“Don’t Look for Me” - Jeffrey Foucault
“Don’t Marry Her” - The Beautiful South
“Don’t Take Your Love Away” - Jennifer Kimball
“Don’t Talk to Her at Night” - Marc Cohn
“Don’t Try” - Built to Spill
“Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” - Joan Baez feat. Indigo Girls
“Don’t Wait Too Long” - Madeleine Peyroux
“Don’t Want to Be a Part of Your World” - David Byrne

Well, in our iTunes, there’s the one about Argentina, which I enjoy without shame, and then there are a bunch of others I don’t really recognize or remember much; and we don’t have the one by No Doubt, which my wife likes; and there’s one old country tune called “Don’t Fall in Love with a Dreamer” that I think is a Kenny Rogers duet, and I wouldn’t mind having a copy of that…
...but anyway, these are my favorites that we DO have, of the ones not already represented in your list or Slacktivist’s:
Don’t Fade On Me - Tom Petty
Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight - James Taylor
Don’t Stand So Close To Me - The Police
Don’t Stay Home - 311
Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right - Bob himself
Don’t You Think I Feel It Too - Shawn Colvin
