Quite simply, the randomest random ten ever. #3 makes me think of my senior year of high school, and about my gently aging classmates. That song came out when I was 17, and it means far more to me now at 41. #7 and #10 are much loved, and I make no apologies for #4 and #8. The bonus track has been in my head this week, and it’s a lovely bit about the aftermath of Katrina from a very fine outfit.

Having tracked your FRTs for a long time,you seem to go back and forth between having the musical taste of a 17 year-old lesbian and an ageing 80′s rocker.
That actually captures a lot of you.
