Randy Randomguy's Randomness Roulette! Dept.

Foam-O-Graph© - a rent in th' veil of illusion!

Lookit these swell society-types throwing their hard-earned dough at organised crime! Oboy! Some fun, huh?! What wouldn't you give to join in the laffs?! What's that you say? You have the gumption you were born with? And you're broke as the axle on your wheeled home? So why not accept Randy's invite and recreate the heady glamor and thrills of the casino right there in your fiberboard Fortress of Solitude?!

Simply set audio device of choice to shuffle (or throw record collection up in air like Lucy shuffles cards) and play first five tunes! Invite gang around to gawp open-mouthed in amazement like our stock photo models!

(Don't forget to share results in comment, or the whole thing's a bit of a farce, frankly.)


This post made possible thru donations from the Cosy Cockroach Motel, Pork Bend, WIS, and the Guggenheim Foundation For Sex-Crazed Ugly Billionaires.

    1. Okay....never heard of Stray, but I liked that immediately. On the subject, I give you Time Machine Ni Onegai by Sadistic Mika Band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1A-NMEoDAI

    2. Del Bromham of Stray once depped for me in 1980!
      He's still going strong and an acquaintance of mine plays bass with the band.

    1. A question for the Rules Committee
      The songs above were, actually, songs 2 through 6. The first song was from a Grateful dead show: Madison Square Garden 10/12/1983 2nd Set, which was Help On The Way> Slipknot> Franklin's Tower, which is technically three songs, but the Dead play it as one song, as only they can do. So would you consider this one song as my DAP does, or three songs?
      Just curious.

    2. *wry look to camera* Join us after the break to see if your answer agrees with Babs! No flipping!

    3. The Grateful Dead only knew one song, but it was thirty years long. So any Dead medley is automatically part of that one song.

    4. Everything in the universe is... is... is made of one element, which is a note, a single note. Atoms are really vibrations, you know, which are extensions of THE BIG NOTE. Everything's one note.

    5. Good god man, you'll have me reaching for my Moody Blues lps

      Two notes of the chord, that's our full scope
      But to reach the chord is our life's hope
      And to name the chord is important to some
      So they give it a word, and the word is...

      And you wonder why we needed Johnny Rotten?

    6. As Moodies albums go, that's not a bad one.

      Now where's my lava lamp?

    7. I have occasional brief Moodies binges. First seven albums, with A Question Of Balace probably my fave. Going to cue it up right now ...

    8. This is the Moodies double "best of" from 1974 is the for me. It was from a time when I first got into groups through double best ofs or live albums:
      History of Fairport
      Weird scenes inside the goldmine
      History of the Bonzos
      Living in the Past
      Before the Flood
      Yessongs (triple)

    Jeez, when I saw Roulette in the headline I thought this might be an article on Tommy James & the Shondells. Anyone read his autobiography "Me, the Mob & the Music"?

  14. On holiday with no access to my picture sleeves, so it'll have to be off the non visual walkman :

    Frank Chickens : Blue Canary
    Leon Redbone : Prairie Lullaby
    Rico Rodriguez : Dr Kildare
    The Uniques : You Don't Miss Your Water
    Brinsley Schwartz : Play That Fast Thing (One More Time)

    And it aint picked one off my special holiday mix tape, but by the wonders of modern science, here it is, as my tribute to the Brits relationship to The Continent as we used to call it (other continents are available) :
