Time to rock the shuffle meme [via Cyn]:

Rules:

1. Open up the music player on your computer. (I used my iPod, since it’s got more on it than my computer.)
2. Set it to play your entire music collection.
3. Hit the “shuffle” command.
4. List the title of the next ten songs that show up (with their musicians), no matter how embarrassing. Write it up in your blog or journal and link back to at least a couple of the other sites where you saw this.
5. If you get the same artist twice, you may skip the second (or third, or etc.) occurrences. You don’t have to, but since randomness could mean you end up with a list of ten song with five artists, you can if you’d like.

My List:

1. Let’s Pretend We’re Bunny Rabbits - Magnetic Fields
2. The Night Chicago Died Again - Minus 5
3. First Few Desperate Hours - Mountain Goats
4. October All Over (live) - Unwound
5. 100% Song - The Mekons (what’s with all the “M” bands?)
6. Fin - Pavement
7. I’m a Vampire - Future Bible Heroes (what’s with all the Stephin Merritt?)
8. Dinner - The Evolution Control Committee
9. Obstacle 2 - Interpol
10. Come Home Baby Julie, Come Home - American Analog Set

I was kind of surprised by how representative the list was, although it woulda been nice if the Wrens had showed their faces. More than anything, the list indicates that I really need to buy more new records (or dump some of D’s recent eMusic downloads into my iTunes).
