Song sung blue, everybody knows one
| One of Whitney's readers at Pop Candy asked her what are the first 10 songs on her iPod's shuffle mode. I decided to try it for myself. What I got was better than I expected: Crush by Dave Matthews Band Live it Up by John Legend I only have eyes for you by Jamie Cullum Beeds on a string by Jungle Brothers (this is from Brent's stash of music) Booty Call by Blackstreet (I have no excuses for this, other than I was experimenting with musical tastes during my college years.) Broken Drum by Beck Light My Way by Rage Against the Machine Players Ball by Outkast Like a Feather by Nikka Costa Yellow Submarine by The Beatles Your turn! "I keep a lighter in my back pocket all the time. I'm not a smoker, I just really like certain songs." - Demetri Martin, Comedy Central Presents |

post a commentIt's always fun to do! I may do it again soon. Lately my mp3 player has been in love with The Cure, Dave Matthews Band, and The Buzzcocks. I have close to 5,000 songs on it, but those 3 groups keep coming up randomly.
I wanna do it!!! Here we go:
Eric Carmen, Make Me Lose Control (my new fav song from the 80s); U2, Angel of Harlem; Tracy Chapman, Give Me One Reason; Mamas and the Papas, I Call Your Name; Rachael Yamagata, Even So; Rilo Kiley, More Adventurous; Garth Brooks, Standing Outside the Fire; Neil Diamond, Sweet Caroline; Kelly Clarkson, Since U Been Gone; Ani DiFranco, Talk to Me Now
. . . wow. About as random as I expected it to be.
"All White"- Trail of Dead, "Broken Train"- Beck, "Mistakes and Regrets"- Trail of Dead, "Slipping Away"- Sum41, "Outsiders"- Franz Ferdinand

I'm too embarrassed to admit aloud what songs are currently on my ipod (shuffle, as it were), seeing as how they were downloaded to be work-out music and thus boast much Britney and Christina. And there I went, admitting anyway. ; )
What I originally came on to say before I so adeptly interrupted myself was: the fact that you quoted Neil Diamond in the title of this post makes me smile. : )
