So I get all jazzed up about Funkadelic and what does the iPod turn out for the Friday Random 10? With two exceptions, the most unfunky collection of tracks that never moved a booty. Somewhere Sir Nose is laughing. At least Gil Scott-Heron and the Felaesque Talking Heads track are holding him at bay.

- Gil Scott-Heron, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” (Evolution (And Flashback))
- Gemma Hayes, “Day One” (Night On My Side)
- Brodsky Quartet (Dmitri Shostakovich, composer), “String Quartet No. 12 in D flat Major: I. Moderato” (Shostakovich: String Quartets 11, 12, 13)
- Talking Heads, “Double Groove (unfinished outtake)” (Remain in Light)
