Shuffle

For some reason, I never really took advantage of the option to shuffle my entire music collection. Usually I don’t want to hear say… Tool and Debussy back to back. But today it just seems to work. Here is a list of random songs that have popped up in the last little while- some of them I’ve never fully listened to.

Leave this city - Sundays
Eyes without a face - Billy Idol
Eye of the tiger - Survivor
Temptation - Tom Waits
Winter’s Song - Cowboy Junkies
The Burning Heart - Hannibal Soundtrack
Goin’ Out West - Tom Waits
New York - The Junes (my ex girlfriend’s band, found them on iTunes this summer while sitting in a wireless park in Manhattan)
In The Dark - Jeannie And Jimmy Cheatham And The Sweet Baby Blues Band
Spaceboy - Smashing Pumpkins
Put Me Down - Cranberries
Ambient Noise - Pitchblende
Centerfold - Jake Guile’s Band
Po Lazarus - O Brother
Better Things - Massive Attack
The Veldt - Combustible Edison

Ziggy Stardust - Bowie

Crazy on You - Heart
If Things Were Perfect - Moby
Misirlou - Dick Dale and the Del-Tones (NOT from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack either… )

This list could make me seem really cool, or really dorky- depending on your aesthetic of cool. But the best part is that it’s not me fabricating the list… it’s more like digging through the underwear drawer of my music collection.

It’s time for ice-cream now… did you know that Haagendazs makes “bananas foster” flavored ice-cream? Yeah baby. Oh yeah.
