So, Fr. Jim Tucker from Dapple Things is posting random iPod shuffle lists of the first 10 songs played. Here are the rules he suggests:

The rules, for bloggers who want to play:
Get your ipod or media-player of choice, select your whole music collection, set the thing to shuffle (i.e., randomized playback), then post the first ten songs that come out. No cheating, no matter how stupid it makes you feel! Maybe link the songs to online music stores for readers’ convenience.

And so, I begin with this list from my train ride to Mid-town Manhattan:

1. Cowboy Junkies: ‘Sun Comes Up, It’s Tuesday Morning’ from Best of Cowboy Junkies
2. Aimee Mann: ‘Video’ from The Forgotten Arm
3. Smashing Pumpkins: ‘The Everlasting Gaze’ from Rotten Apples: Greatest Hits
4. Slavyanka Men’s Chorus: ‘Dostonino yest’ (It Is Fitting)’ from Russian Church Music
5. Skott Freedman: ‘Lately’ from Swimming After Dark
6. Bobri Christov: ‘Hymn of the Cherubim’ (excerted/edictd) from Sacred Treasures I
7. Bob Griffith – my Senior Sermon at GTS – not a song and too long for now…
8. Sigur Ros: ‘Svo Hijott’ from Takk…
9. Moby: ‘Hotel Intro’ from Hotel, Disk 1
10. Sufjan Stevens: ‘We Won’t Need Legs to Stand’ from Seven Swans
