The Shuffle Game (1 in a series)
Okay, every Sunday (or so) I’m going to play a game where I start up iTunes, turn on Shuffle, and list the first 13 songs that come up. If everybody reading does the same, we should all see some stuff that we haven’t heard but might want to. Here are the rules:
1) Nobody talks about the Shuffle Game
2) Nobody talks about the Shuffle Game
Uh, that’s so lame I’m going to stop right now. There’s only one rule: you must put in the first 13 songs no matter what. Even if your wife “snuck behind your back” to download a bunch of REO Speedwagon and Michael Bolton, you have to list it[1]. Without further ado, here’s today’s list from me. The fact there are TWO tracks from Bruce McCulloch’s album Shame-Based Man in a shuffle that contains over 5,000 songs should be enough to make you question iTune’s shuffling ability. I might go to WinAmp next week.
- Dumb – Nirvana – Unplugged in New York
- Peace Frog – Doors – Morrison Hotel
- The Whistle Song – Frankie Knuckles – X-Tendamix Dance Mix ’92
- Arctic World – Midnight Oil – Diesel And Dust
- He Said, She Said – Bruce McCulloch – Shame-Based Man
- Il Vecchio Castello – Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra – Pictures at an Exhibition
- Take Me to the River – Commitments – Commitments
- Queen of Darkness – Ugress – Single
- Grade 8 – Bruce McCulloch – Shame-Based Man
- Territorial Pissings – Nirvana – Nevermind
- As I Wind Down the Pines – Tragically Hip – Music@Work
- Wake Up – The Walkmen – Everybody Who Pretended To Like Me is Gone
- Stay On Top – Kick Axe – Vices
[1] – My list had freakin Frankie Knuckles and Kick Axe in it, so you know I’m taking this rule to heart.
