The idea for this week’s Random Ten started out as a follow-up to last night’s Twitter meme of #bestsexsongs, which could mean a lot of things, but mostly turned out to be a list of generic Quiet Storm-style suggestions.

Your soundtrack for the weekend and beyond, if you like: 1. Happy Read More
Yet again, BlackInk has abandoned you in order to get Real Work done, and he has charged me with posting this week’s Random Ten. I don’t know about you, but I woke up this morning just before 8, and was greeted with tweets (yes, I check Twitter upon waking, no I don’t care what you Read More
Like thousands of bad headline writers before me, I’ll go ahead and indulge my corniest instincts: Blame it on Rio. Earlier today, Rio de Janiero emerged as the victor in the heated competition to play host for the 2016 Olympic Games. Madrid and Tokyo finished second and third.

Let’s be real about this: there’s no Genius involved in sorting through this list. So it’s all random from this point forward: 1. Goodbye Pork Pie Hat by Joni Mitchell (slb) 2.
