Via “Ed Hand”:http://homepage.mac.com/edahand/iblog/B1323778479/index.html, a silly idea that I had to do as soon as I heard about it, of course. Put your mp3 player/music software/whatever on shuffle and list the 10 songs that get played first. I like how it tells you about someone’s musical tastes without allowing them to cheat. Assuming they’re honest. Anyway, here’s mine:
1. Run For Your Life (The Beatles, Rubber Soul)
2. I’m a Man You Don’t Meet Every Day (The Pogues, Rum Sodomy & the Lash)
3. Dancing Nancies (Dave Matthews Band, Under the Table and Dreaming)
4. Kamera (Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot)
5. Little Wing (Sting, Nothing Like the Sun)
6. Mandinka (Sinead O’Connor, the Lion and the Cobra)
7. Till My Head Falls Off (They Might Be Giants, Factory Showroom)
8. Morphie (Moxy Fruvous, Bargainville)
9. Karma Police (Radiohead, OK Computer)
10. Mystery Hours (The New Pornographers, Mass Romantic)
