Shuffle

By way of Tommy and Gooseneck:

1. Open up the music player on your computer.

2. Set it to play your entire music collection.

3. Hit the shuffle command.

4. Tell us the title of the next ten songs that show up (with their musicians), no matter how embarrassing. That's right, no skipping that Carpenters tune that will totally destroy your hip credibility. It's time for total musical honesty. Write it up in your blog or journal and link back to at least a couple of the other sites where you saw this.

5. If you get the same artist twice, you may skip the second (or third, or etc.) occurrences. You don't have to, but since randomness could mean you end up with a list of ten song with five artists, you can if you

1 Box in My Head-John Shirly: A Jazzy improv type of song found here. Shirley is pretty cool, and I like this type of song.

2 Down In In-Nine Inch Nails: Probably my favorite NIN song, but I'm not really sure why.

3 Dave Attell-Talking about Breast Feeding and Beer Dispensing Nipples: Dave is a funny fellow, and his standup album is very, very good.

4 We're All Gonna Die Some Day-Casey Chambers: A Australian Chick Country Singer singing about death and whatnot. Quite good.

5 Free Culture Preface-By Lawrence Lessig: The preface of a book on internet culture. Part of a free audiobook.

6 Tracktor-MC Chris: A cappella first verse of an MCChris song. Geek rap.

7 He Walks With Me-Johnny R. Cash: From Johnny's Posthumous gospel album.

8 The End-The Beatles: "And in the end/The love you take/is equal to the love you make"

9 Billy Clinton from his Autobiography talking about various things-From his Autobiography-An interesting book and well read by the former President.

10 My Best Friend's Girl-Hayseed Dixie: Bluegrass crossed with eighties rock, you can't go wrong with that.
