Oh great iPod, give it to me.
1.Sinead O’Conner, Mandinka. from ‘Never Mind The Mainstream’
2. Sufjan Stevens, Rifts & Variations An a Single Note for Jelly Roll, Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Baby Dodds, And The Kings of Swing To Name A Few, from “Come And Feel The Illinois
3. Anna Nalick, Breath (2AM), from ‘Breat (2AM) Single’; (The words “Rain” and “Breath” intrigue me. “Rain” that brings refreshing, life, and cleansing; “Breath” is life, the Holy Spirit, the Breath that interred us…)
4. Aimee Mann, Par For The Course, from ‘I’m With Stupid’
5. Underworld, Surfboy, from ‘Dubnobasswithmyheadman’
6. Aimee Mann, Video, from ‘The Forgotten Arm’
7. Moby, Bring Back My Happiness, from ‘Everything Is Wrong’
8. Natalie Imbruglia, City, from ‘Left Of The Middle’
9. U2, In God’s Country, from ‘The Complete U2’
10. Kate Bush, Rubberband Girl, from ‘The Red Shoes’
I’m including the next two songs, too, for reasons.
11. Gary Newman, Cars, from ??? (When I first heard this song, I though, “My gosh, an alternative to Arena Rock and Disco!!!!!! I was in New Wave & Punk heaven.)
12. Sufjan Stevens, The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us!, from ‘Come And Feel The Illinois’ (This is simply an amazing song!)
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!
