I'm A Little Embarrased to Admit This..

But I really like the new "Single Women" song from Beyonce. Enough that I actually bought the track from iTunes. Just adding to the most horrible but eclectic mix of music around. We should do a shuffle challenge where we note down the 5 tunes that come up when we hit random play. In fact, I'll start it off:

1) Another Postcard – Bare Naked Ladies

2) I Can't Get Behind That – William Shatner & Henry Rollins

3) This Low – Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova "Once"

4) St. Elsewhere – Gnarls Barkley

5) I Go to Extremes – Billy Joel

Good lord, that is awful…

    Let's see, Kelric's random five songs are…

    Everclear – Heartspark Dollarsign
    Rancid – Daly City Train
    Millencolin – Olympic
    Ludacris – Mouthing Off
    Husker Du – What's Going On

    That looks like a basic snapshot of my mp3s. One mediocre song, one song I actually like (yay, Rancid!), then three songs that I have no idea what they sound like or where I got them from and will probably never listen to. I blame Emusic from when it was still unlimited downloads. And… really… Ludacris? I don't even like rap.

    Here's my first random five:

    Talking Heads — "Once in a Lifetime", from Stop Making Sense
    Do it Again, the Beach Boys
    J.S Bach, Motet: Loben Den Herm Alle Hiden, BWV 230
    G. Verdi, "Al suon del tamburo," from La Forza del Destino (Price/Domingo)
    The Eagles, "I Can't Tell you Why" from Hell Freezes Over

    1. The Who – Join Together
    2. Imogen Heap – Goodnight and Go (Live)
    3. Fine Young Canibals – Move to Work
    4. Erasure – Hideaway
    5. Roxette – Cry

    Not bad. There is lots lamer stuff that could have come up. Songs 1 to 4 I'd still happily listen to. Song 5 … well, notwithstanding the fact that I really liked that Roxette album in college, it hasn't aged very well.
