Friday Random 10
Another week almost over, another chance to spin the click wheel and see what happens. Clearly, I won’t be doing this every week, since I missed last week. And for those with a much more orderly mind than mine, I probably won’t be doing this every other week either. Rules are for squares, man.
Well, except these rules: the basic idea is that you turn on your iPod or reasonable facsimile thereof, put your entire collection on shuffle and post the first 10 songs that come up. If you feel like playing along at home, you can post your list on your own site or leave it in the comments.
Enough blather. Must post songs…
- Your Redneck Past - Ben Folds Five
- Oliver’s Army - Peter Mulvey
- Let’s Get Mesolithic (Live) - Eddie from Ohio
- Add It Up (Live) - Guster
- Corona - Calexico
- Wild Horses - Faultline + Joseph Arthur
- The Facts About Jimmy - Shawn Colvin
- Paranoid Android - Brad Mehldau
- Monday Morning Blues - Peter Case + Dave Alvin
- Revelator - Gillian Welch
Hmmm… Oddly enough, half of these songs are covers. “Oliver’s Army” is Elvis Costello, “Add It Up” is the Violent Femmes, “Wild Horses” is the Rolling Stones, “Paranoid Android” is Radiohead, and “Monday Morning Blues” is Mississippi John Hurt.

Wow. That’s spooky. I hadn’t noticed, but you’re right. I wonder how that could have happened. Heh heh.
