Do the Shuffle
Wednesday, February 18, 2004I’m not one for memes, but this one is fun.
Turn your MP3 player on random and list the first 15 tracks it plays (regardless of how embarrassing they may be):
- Let’s Dance - M. Ward
- Lost Cause - Beck with the Flaming Lips
- A Lack of Colour - Death Cab for Cutie
- I’ll Take Care of You - Bobby Bland
- She Lives By the Water - Club 8
- Knock Three Times - Tony Orlando and Dawn
- What a Day for a Daydream - Lovin’ Spoonful
- Oh Yoko - John Lennon
- Stereo - Pavement
- Hot Burrito #1 - The Flying Burrito Brothers
- Love and Happiness - Al Green
- What is This Thing Called Love? - Keely Smith
- Pretty Baby - Leon Redbone
- Shang a Dang Dang - Lambchop
- I Shatter - The Magnetic Fields
Hm. Less embarrassing than I envisioned. Although the Tony Orlando is questionable…
Robert Daeley says:
Someone with more time on their hands than I should set up a registry webservice based on everyone’s random 15. And you get user ratings base on how “compatible” your list is with others. Imagine finding out someone had the exact tracks as you!
Well, it wouldn’t really say much at all except about statistics, but online communities have been founded on less notable grounds.
And just to be difficult, I did 14 songs.
