Do the shuffle

Some people hate the shuffle button, especially musicians who spent the time to think of what order to arrange their songs on an album. I happen to love the shuffle/random option on a stereo or mp3 player software. Some days I just feel like music but have no idea what to put on. Other times I feel like re-discovering my playlist. I like the shuffle option because I often hear a song differently when it's not sandwiched between two songs I always hear before and after it.

Now taken from Keri Smith's Wish Jar Journals, I too, am going to do the shuffle. Basically, it's just putting up a list of the first 15 songs your mp3 player plays, no matter how embarassing or uncool they are. This is my list:

01 - "Slow Down" - Bullfrog
02 - "Too Much Food" - Jason Mraz
03 - "Half a World Away" - Esthero
04 - "Step on My Old Size Nines" - Stereophonics
05 - "Butterflies Instead" - K's Choice
06 - "Bones" - Radiohead
07 - "Rush of Blood to the Head" (Live) - Coldplay
08 - "Train Wreck" - Sarah McLachlan
09 - "Pillar of Davidson" - Live
10 - "Mohammed" - The Dandy Warhols
11 - "Awesome" - Veruca Salt
12 - "Babylon" - David Gray
13 - "Sugar Boy" - Beth Orton
14 - "Lost Love" - Rinocerose
15 - "Another World" - Poe

Your turn.

Links of the day:
King Cobb Steelie — until I heard a track on Here and Now yesterday, I had no idea this band was releasing a new album. Titled Destroy All Codes, it came out on Tuesday.
Josh Rouse — still on Rykodisc (which KCS appears to not be), Rouse apparently released a new DVD/CD, Smooth Sounds of Josh Rouse. almost a whole month ago. Uncut Magazine praises the release with 5 stars...
