Random Monday

Unable to do much today - although it has nevertheless somehow been one of those "busy-work days" - and unable to find much of interest in the news - everything seems so... obvious today, if that makes sense - I can really only post a random ten (OK, twenty) of songs from my iTunes library. Matt at Tattered Coat used to do this on Fridays, but he's been busy too.

Here they are, completely random and thankfully avoiding embarrassments this time. Feel free to play along.

1. Buddy Holly, "Every Day" (1959).
