As a side note, I used to play the incredible iPod Mash-Up game with my girlfriend on the train: each player inserts one earbud form each players iPod into one of their ears. Hit shuffle on both iPods - the resulting cacaphony, modified further by right and left levels in each song, ranges from brilliant to headache inducing (which is when you hit the next button).

"the woodland national anthem" -- arcade fire
"all kinds of time" -- fountains of wayne

Weezer- "Undone(The Sweater Song)"
Motorhead- "Overkill"

Okay, I'm doing it again because I'm curious. Also procrastinating.

Good Fucking Bye - Matt Skiba and Kevin Seconds
River Euphrates - The Pixies
Wild Dub - Generation X
Watch It Die - Bad Religion
Police Truck - Dead Kennedys

...wow. That's a much better picture of what I actually listen to.

From what I've seen, the Pajiba crowd has (what I consider to be) amazingly good taste in music. I feel right at home.

This is, I'm almost sure, a silly question, but before I hoist myself from the company's body pillows (nontraditional offices are fantastic) and retrieve my musical device, does the ipod shuffle HAVE a shuffle mode? If so, I haven't found it, but then again I'm a bit of a technophobe (in an endearing rather than anarchy-minded way). The shuffle is the tiny little one being advertised to the left of the comments section.

Becca-
The iPod Shuffle is always on shuffle mode (hence the name), so just hit play and write down the first five songs it plays. What the shuffle doesn't have is a non-shuffle mode.

I have eclectic tastes...

1. C'est Moi - Robert Goulet (Camelot-Broadway Original Cast Recording)
2. Dream Manifestation - Ron Clearfield
3. Oh Come All Ye Faithful/Nu Brown Maiden - Druidstone
4. Celtic Ray - Van Morrison
5. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy - Queen

Crown of Love - Arcade Fire
Boots or Hearts - Tragically Hip
Baba O'Reilly - The Who
Summer Babe - Pavement
LDN - Lily Allen

1. Cities in Dust - Siouxsie and the Banshees
2. Memory - Sugarcult
3. ABC's of Love - Rooney
4. Bleed American - Jimmy Eat World
5. Tokyo Nights - Hikaru Utada

My tastes are all over the place. Unfortunately, the shuffle had to pick emo/pop bands for 3 out of 5.

Man, I'm totally okay with my five:

1. "The Deep." Gary Hoey.
2. "sharp darts." the streets.
3. "Where I End and You Begin." Radiohead.
4. "Young Pilgrims." The Shins.
5. "Rock n' Roll Junkie." Motley Crue.

"We Both Go Down Together" - The Decemberists
"Glory Hallelujah" - Brian Wright & the Waco Tragedies
"About the Moon" - Rilo Kiley
"Fight Test" - The Flaming Lips
"A Good Idea at the Time" - OK Go

Wow, iTunes was pretty kind to me. I know there's a huge potential for embarrasment in my iTunes library.

And I couldn't help doing it a second time, which turned out just as fine:

1. "Army Ants." Tom Waits.
2. "Power of the Orange." Tori Amos.
3. "That I would be Good." Alanis Morissette.
4. "Shake Break Bounce." Chemical Brothers.
5. "Spegetti Western. Primus."

I last updated my Ipod in 2005 right before I moved to Vienna. I put absolutely everything I knew I would NEVER hear in Europe on it. Therefore, I am relatively certain I'm going to be mortified by what the old (no, really, it's old!) machine comes up with
1. Everyday I have the Blues- Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder
2. It's Not Easy Being Green- Kermit the Frog
3. Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree- Glen Miller
4. Swan Lake's Pas De Deux- Tchiakovsky played by the Berliner Philharmonik
5. It Had to Be You- Frank Sinatra

Actually not too mortifying, except that it appears I am 73 instead of 23.

Off to an Austin-centric start-

'Rich Woman'- Fabulous Thunderbirds

'The Breakdown'- Los Lobos

'Sent by Angels'- Arc Angels

'Don't Stay'- Linkin Park

'Sending the Old Man Home'- Jimmy Buffet

Eh

1. Imaginary Friend, Nada Surf
2. You're Gonna Miss Me, The Thirteenth Floor Elevators
3. Ageless Beauty, Stars
4. Sonata for Piano and Cello, Yo-Yo Ma
5. Publish My Love, Rogue Wave

haha, got off pretty easy there! iTunes shuffle mode is a great and terrible invention, indeed...

1. Lost Friend Advice - Alias

2. King Eternal - TV on the Radio

3. Nostrand - Ratatat

4. Start to Melt - Peter Bjorn & John

5. Evil Bee - Menoma

Gosh I love music.

1) Homesick by The Cure
2) Shadow of A Doubt by Beth Orton
3) Martha by Tom Waits
4) Star Me Kitten by R.E.M
5) The Mast by Feist

OK, got it:

"This heart's on fire"- Wolf Parade

"Yankee go home"- Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

"Jacksonville"- Sufjan Stevens

"What a wonderful man"- My Morning Jacket

"Over and over again"- Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Pretty representative, though my primary ipod time is spent running, so things like Jacksonville are replaced with songs that have a more obvious beat (All Things Go by Stevens, the Decemberists, The Scissor Sisters, etc).

Iriska-

Does the shuffle setting imply that the songs aren't part of a playlist or does it specifically mean that they are entirely random? I can keep my songs in order but I can't make playlists; I also just found the 'random' setting.

I'm up for another go around

Time is Nothing - John Frusciante (From the Sounds Inside) **everyone should love this guy immediately.
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2 (Joshua Tree)
Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani (LAMB) **I am sick of her and this song. That's unfortunate.. for her, not so much the song.
Checkered Floor - Silversun Pickups (Carnavas)
Sunday Morning Coming Down - Johnny Cash

also, I'm seriously impressed with how great everyone's taste in music is on here: just goes to show how great pajiba (and its loyal readers!) are...

also, kudos to whoever put down nick drake a few posts back--one of my favorite artists EVER

Fun!

Back Up Train-- Al Green

At Least That's What You Said-- Wilco

Good summary of my iTunes, actually.

3.Mr. Moonlight-The Beatles
4.No No No-The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
5.Through the Eyes of Ruby-Smashing Pumpkins

Crooked Smile - Lazlo Bane

Noelle Loves Shakespeare - Logan Whitehurst and the Junior Science Club

The View - Modest Mouse

1. "Knock Yourself Out," Jon Brion

2. "The Lord God Bird," Sufjan Stevens

3. "Fred Meyers," Glen Phillips

4. "My Moon My Man," Feist

5. "Love Is a Battlefield," Pat Benatar... I had a strong urge to get that one after watching "13 Going On 30" on TBS a while back. Don't you judge me!

1. Crazy Bitch - Buckcherry
2. Angel Main Theme - Darling Violetta
3. Boom Bomm - Big Head & The Monsters
4. Come to Jesus - Mindy Smith
5. Letters from Home - John Michael Montgomery

So, slightly embarrassing.

1. The More I See You - Michael Buble
2. I'm Mad - Animaniacs

5. Canto Alla Vita - Josh Groban

2. Hole, 'Jennifer's Body'
3. Melissa Etheridge, 'I'm the Only One' (inside joke with my sister)
4. Van Morrison, 'Brown Eyed Girl' (one of my favorite songs ever, even though my eyes are green)
5. 'Wildwood Flower', from the soundtrack to Walk the Line

Oooooh fun! I have some really awful stuff in there so let's see...

2 -- Tennessee Sucks, Ryan Adams (there's alot of Ryan Adams around here)

3 -- Cherry Cola, Eagles of Death Metal

4 -- The Consort, Rufus Wainwright

"Starlight," Muse, Black Holes and Revelations

"She's Not It," Head Automatica, Popaganda

"The Crowing," Coheed and Cambria, Live at the Starland Ballroom

Seems like a good time to start commenting...

Pink Floyd - Money
Iron & Wine - Someday the Waves
Bela Fleck & Edgar Meyer - Allegro Vivace
The Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blues
Led Zeppelin - Going to California

Not too shabby.

Don't You Want Me - Human League

You Know I'm No Good - Amy Winehouse

Home - Marc Broussard

She Says What She Means - Sloan

Tripping - Robbie Williams

1 - Election Day - Arcadia
2 - Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover - Sophie B. Hawkins
3 - A Message To You, Rudy - The Specials
4 - Down On The Corner - CCR
5 - Heaven Or Las Vegas - The Cocteau Twins

I try not to have anything on there I really don't want to listen to; the only music I'm remotely embarrassed by is a few by Paula Abdul (the old, old crap) that I never listen to, but haven't taken off, because, why? I have 20 gigs to fill and have only taken up about 3. I have fewer than 1000 songs.

Anybody know how the shuffle mode works? I assume it's an algorithm of some kind, does anybody know what it is? Just curious.

1. Mass Romantic - New Pornographers (Mass Romantic)

2. Will it Go Round in Circles - Dave Matthews (Dave M. & Friends)

3. Airport Song - Guster (Lost and Gone Forever)

4. Today 4 U - RENT

5. What a Game - RAGTIME

BONUS (To make myself look like less of a musica queen): Where is Home? - Bloc Party (A Weekend in the City)

Dammit...two showtunes. I'm really showing my true colors here.

"Meet the Creeper" - Rob Zombie.
"At the Zoo" - Simon & Garfunkel.
"Kiss From a Rose" - Seal.
"Champagne Supernova" - Oasis.
"A Day Like Today" - Tom McRae.

Huh....not really representative of my tastes as a whole, but fairly accurate in its portrayal of my love for truly craptacular music. I'm gonna cheat and try again:

"The Legionnaire's Lament" - The Decemberists.
"BYOS" - Regina Spektor.
"Pennyroyal Tea" - Nirvana.
"Bad Reputation" - Freedy Johnston.
"Four Left Feet" - The Ditty Bops.

Much better! (I'm just lucky "Fergalicious" didn't show up...)

Jackie, Dressed in Cobras - The New Pornographers
Ancient Lullaby - Matisyahu
Get In or Get Out - Hot Hot Heat
God Will Lift Up Your Head - Jars of Clay

1. Rats - The Kinks
2. The Greeting Song - Red Hot Chili Peppers
3. Lay Down Sally - Eric Clapton
4. Your Wildest Dreams - The Moody Blues
5.Exercise in C Minor - John Mayall

There's another version of this game that's more representative of taste and possibly more embarrassing: When you plug your I-pod in to a computer, you can sort songs by number of times played. (I don't know if/how this works with other players.)
My top 5:
1. Crooked Teeth--Death Cab for Cutie--33 plays
2. Oh, Christy--The Moaners--18 plays
3. Superman's Song--Crash Test Dummies--16 plays
4. (tie) The Past is a Grotesque Animal--Of Montreal--12 plays/Standing Outside a Broken Phonebooth with Money in my Hand--Primitive Radio Gods--12 plays
5. Tango Shoes--Biff Naked--10 Plays

1. Skypager - Tribe Called Quest
2. Machine Gun Funk - Notorious B.I.G.
3. Diamonds and Pearls - Prince
4. Never Enough - Groove Theory (lovejones sndtrk)
5. Brown Skin Lady - Black Star

2. I Want to Hold Your Hand - Beatles

3. Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell

4. Love Loss Hope Repeat - Carbon Leaf

2. Basin Street Blues - Ella Fitzgerald

3. 1 thing feat. Eve - Amerie

4. Set The Fire to the First Bar feat. Martha Wainwright - Snow Patrol

5. Get you home feat. Foxy Brown - Blackstreet

2)Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love

3) The Irish Rovers - Finnegan's Wake

A poster upthread asked about another poster's version of the BNL song "If I Had a Million Dollars," and before I begin, I'd just like to point out that it might actually be BNL, as they are in the practice of occasionally performing bluegrass versions of their own songs.



Also, if Daniel Carlson was including Josh Ritter in this "alt-country" summation, well... no.



Now, then...



"Bye Bye, Love" - Simon & Garfunkel

"Instinct Blues" - The White Stripes

"Love For Sale" - Talking Heads

"Band on the Run" - Paul McCartney (live)

"Bull in a China Shop" - Barenaked Ladies

J-

The question mark next to George Strait's name makes it appear that you're not sure who's performing the song on your playlist. If I had to guess, I think you're talking about "Tight Fittin' Jeans" by Conway Twitty, who generally wrote some pretty creepy country tunes. ("You've Never Been This Far Before" is like listening to a ballad about date rape.) The song isn't to be confused with Mel McDaniel's "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On," which is dumb but harmless.

...If it's a mainstream country song from 1987-1994, I probably know it. Don't ask me how.

Loving all the Rufus Wainwright here.

And cheers to Sean for having Big Wreck. I do remember when Canadian music didn't suck. (And I Mother Earth. Sigh. What happened, Edwin?)

Ah, the old mp3 player was kind to me. Want to see if I can embarrass myself the second go 'round?

"The Taste of Ink" The Used (ah, better already)
"Luck Be A Lady" Frank Sinatra and some lady
"Hello, I Love You" The Doors
"El Tango de Roxanne" Moulin Rouge Soundtrack
"Prelude 12/21" AFI

Man, two goes and nothing too bad came up. I was expecting some TaTu and those Spice Girls songs I've got floating around there.

1. Crazy in Love- Beyonce
2. Nightmare- Artie Shaw & the Artie Shaw Orchestra
3. Phoenix - Daft Punk
4. Why Did You Do It? - Stretch

It Never Rains In Southern California - Tony! Toni! Tone!

Boys to Men - New Edition

Understand - Christina Aguilera

Brown Eyed Girl _ Tevin Campbell

I'm an Old School (80's) and 80's Pop girl but right now it's mainly Old School late 70's & 80's. I pretty much ignored the 90's and beyond. I never got into the NKOTB or Bon Jovi or Rythm Nation scene. I switched to reggae by then but I won't get into the reggae (Skanking and Dancehall) music I love. I'm rambling....

you're crazy-guns and roses

ms jackson-outkast

my sanity on the funeral pyre-atreyu

everybody's free(to wear sunscreen)-quindon tarver

1. "It's Good To Be King" Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

2) "How Deep Is The Ocean?" -- Chet Baker
3) "Nature's Way" -- Spirit

This is always a dangerous game...

I pressed party shuffle to make the playlist. I don't have guilty pleasures, just pleasures.
I love music of the Big Band era, so 5 out of 100 songs tends to reflect that.

1. Chemical Brothers - Out of Control (Sasha Remix)
2. Depeche Mode - World in My Eyes
3. Whitest Boy Alive - Burning
4. Sevendust - Praise
5. Accelera Deck - Traces of Everything

I hesitated about the Sevendust (I haven't listened to them for years) but jesus it's better than having the barenakedladies show up on my iPod. That's horrible.

Elliott Smith - "In The Lost and Found"
Vanilla Ice - "Ice Ice Baby"
Dubstar - "Stars"
James - "Ya Ho"
Belle & Sebastian - "Dirty Dream Number Two"

Awesome, I think "Ice Ice Baby" makes me the winner, no?

I never comment but I felt compelled.

a) I'm the man that loves you - Jeff Tweedy (Live)
b) Feel [Take 1] - Syd Barrett
c) Tomorrow never knows - The Beatles
d) The Sprawl - Sonic Youth
e) Don't know why (you stay) - The Essex Green

"Bandages" - Hot Hot Heat
"One More Cup of Coffee" - The White Stripes
"Syrinx - for flute solo" - Claude Debussy
"Smile Like You Mean It" - The Killers (I hate this song)
"Saint Simon" - The Shins

This sounds fun.

1. "I Don't Sleep, I Dream", R.E.M., Monster
2. "I'm Not in Love", Tori Amos, Strange Little Girls
3. "Angels of the Silences", Counting Crows, Recovering the Satellites
4. "Wonderwall", Oasis, [What's the Story] Morning Glory (...ugh)
5. "Get Real Paid", Beck, Midnite Vultures

Wow. I am a child of the 90's.

O.K. so this looks like fun. I'll give it a try. I am a bit worried as I have both the Rolling Stones magazine's top 500 songs and Weird Al's entire catalog on my ipod (don't ask). It could be bad.

Stable Song - Death Cab for Cutie
Friday Night - Lily Allen
Purple Rain - Prince (yah, #143 on said list)
Living on a prayer - Bon Jovi (oh, sentimentality)
Who do you love - Bo Diddley

Wow, weird but only slightly humiliating. there is much worse hiding in there. Ha ha, that was fun

Actually bothered to grab the pod for this. Winamps too full of audiobooks/comedy/crap I never deleted to be safe or nonfrustrating. Still assured to be a bit mortifying, though.

"Here Comes Your Man" - The Pixies
"Us" - Regina Spektor
"Don't Stop Believing" - Journey
"Dune" - L'Arc~en~Ciel
"Scrap Brain Zone" - Masato Nakamura (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Right. ONE DAMNED JOURNEY SONG and it hits it. Wonderful.

Dancin' in the moonlight--Van Morrison
Cherub Rock--Smashing Pumpkins
Don't Forget Me--Red Hot Chili Peppers
Comment te Dire--KYO (ouch)
Seymour Stein--Belle & Sebastian

Last Night- White Stripes
Blue Sunshine- Blue October
Where Did You Sleep Last Night- Nirvana
Come to This- Sleepy Jackson
Alone With You- Sunnyboys

I had no idea that I even had a White Stripes song on there. All good.

1. "quicksand"- david bowie
2. "papa was a rolling stone" - sly and the family stone.
3. "caught in a mosh" - anthrax
4. "see the sky about to rain" - neil young
5. "three days" - jane's addiction

I'm actually charging up my iPod so that I can join in and play. It's all very exciting.

I'm not sure I've actually ever HEARD an Ashlee Simpson song, or maybe I did once, I think I probably couldn't tell what the hell it was she was squeaking about. Hmmm. My iPod does have a hell of a lot of cheese music on it though so I am slightly frightened. No cheating for Alex though, oh no.

Aw crap, it ends badly:

1) "Haushinka" Greenday
2) "Wonderful" Everclear
3) "Guest List" The eels
4) "Girl in a Cage" Horrorpops
5) "Everything Louder than Everything else" Meatloaf.

Absolutely downright shocking. And as proof that admitting the fact that I have all 3 Bat out of Hell albums on my iPod brings me good music karma here's what I got second time round:

1) "Kiss you Off" Scissor Sisters
2) "19th Nervous Breakdown" Rolling Stones
3) "Creeping up the Backstairs" The Fratellis
4) "I'm not cryin' for you" Save Ferris

Oh bollocks.

5) "Megamix" Britney Spears.

The Karmic gods laugh in my face.

I don;t think i did too bad either

1) Get Myself into it - the rapture
2)Zookeeper's Boy - Mew
3) Where is home? - Bloc Party
4) Morning paper Dirt - Mando Diao
5) Nobody move, nobody get hurt - we are scientists

I don't have an iPod so you are getting my PC's media player on shuffle :S

1)My Number - Tegan and Sara
2)Such Great Heights - The Postal Service
3)Bitches - Mindless Self Indulgence
4)Untouchable Face - Ani DiFranco
5)New England - Billy Bragg

lessee...

Deeper Shade of Soul - Urban Dance Squad
Tattooed Love Boys - The Pretenders
Don't Bring Henry - The Stranglers
This Gift - Mudhoney

whew.

I am sitting here in my cubicle at work literally laughing out loud at some of the selections (though definite props to most of them!)... Come on, ScarlettKnight - "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego"?! Heeheehee - delicious.

1. Donald & Lydia - John Prine
2. Politician - Cream
3. Tell Me Why - Los Lonely Boys
4. When the Springtime Comes Again - The Carter Family
5. Sally's Pigeons

Here I go. This could be embarrassing - I have a love of cheesey music.

1. Sound and Vision - David Bowie (how fitting, he's my all-time favorite!)

2. Transmission (with St. Vitus Dance interlude) - Bauhaus (yay! my second fave, this is going well)

3. Dog End of a Day Gone By - Love and Rockets (okay, now this is scary, my third favorite artist)

4. Bring Me the Head of the Preacher Man - Siouxsie and the Banshees

5. I Keep Forgetting - David Bowie (oh, there it goes....the cheese)

And some five more because this is so much fun!

6. Art Decade - David Bowie (damn, I guess this is what you get when Bowie makes up 1/5 of your collection)

7. Stay - guess who.....

8. Wind - Red Elvises (hells yeah for siberian surf rock)

9. Hold On - Lou Reed

10. For Tomorrow - Blur

I'm surprised, that was a pretty good mix. I've never used the shuffle function before because I'm always skeptical of how it will turn out, but maybe I will. Too bad it didn't get some of my faves in there like David J, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Joy Division, The Decemberists, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club....but it's all good.

1. The Mighty Midshipman - Centro-Matic

2. Dynamite Chair - Poster Children

3. The Long Cut - Uncle Tupelo

4. Wasted State of Mind - ...The Trail of Dead

5. C'mere - Interpol

Not too bad. I don't have too many embarrassing songs on my I-pod, but I thought for sure that one would pop up while I was doing this.

1. Alvin Cash & the Crawlers, "Twine Time" from the Beg Scream & Shout '60s Soul Box
2. Morphine, "French Fries With Pepper"
3. Sloan, "Money City Maniacs"
4. Solomon Burke, "The Other Side Of The Coin"
5. Nellie McKay, "I Am Nothing"

1. "King of the Night" - Kiss, Destroyer
2. "Big Rock Candy Mountain" - Harry McClintock, O Brother Soundtrack
3. "Teenage Lobotomy" - The Ramones, Loco Live (alot on my player, including some of their less than stellar later work)

4. Evil - The 4 Skins
5. Don't Know When But A Day is Gonna Come

Not too bad. Embarrased for #'s 2 and 3. Noticed some other Bright Eyes on here. God I love hipster libtards.

Last one was by Bright Eyes.

I live by my shuffle, and it is usually wierd, so let's go!

"All my life"-Foo Fighters
"You Are (The Government)"-Bad Religion
"Panic in Detroit"-David Bowie

"A Single Second"-A.F.I.

Not too strange, I'll do five more.

"Lullaby" - A Perfect Circle

"Kamos" - Apocalyptica

"The Good Times are Killing Me" - Modest Mouse

"The Last Stop" - Dave Matthews Band

"(Past-Due)" - The Weakerthans

Looking over this list and saying, "Hmm, someone else I've never heard of...." proves to me my utter lack of musical hipness. Perhaps there should be a Pajiba's Guide to what's good for you in regards to music for backwards folk like me.

Before I list my shuffles of shame, I want to cover my cellulite-riddled ass by explaining that I listed to my iPod in the library while I'm working rather a lot, so there's a lot of 'furniture music'-- Satie, Philip Glass, what have you.

Here goes: be kind and/or offer suggestions. I do SO need your help:

1.) Knock 'em out - Lily Allen
2.) Sky Is Crying - Elmore James
3.) Fantaisie Sign - The Seatbelts
4.) Song of the Silent Age - David Bowie and Brian Eno
5.) Mariachi Gama

Erm... let's try again

1.) Woo Hoo - The 5678s (Don't judge me!!!)
2.) Copo Vazio - Gilberto Gil
3.) Koto - Yamato Ensemble (Japanese classical music)
4.) Mozart concerto for trumpet in D major - Wynton Marsalis
5.) Waltz for Bill Evans - Chick Corea

I'm guessing from the list that I should check out this Elliot Smith fellow, and Sufjan Stevens... and... who else, folks?

Mentira by Manu Chao
London, London by Caetano Veloso
Maria by Blondie
Oh my Golly! by The Pixies
Love Is Like Jazz by The Magnetic Fields

I'm kind of disappointed no Girls Aloud turned up...

1. Lift Him up- Ron Kenoly (I'm a christian see)

2. Everybody- Anthony Hamilton(Cos I like it)

3. Yesu Fata- Daughters of Glorious Jesus(Check 1 )

4. These Word- Natasha bedingfield(Great song)

5. Stomp- Kirk Franklin.(He's the man.)

All these shows I'm a bonafide Christian. Cant say i did bad.

1: Ce Plan por Moi - Plastic Bertrand
Who can resist Belgian punk rock?

2: Garbage Man - The Cramps
The video killed

3: Think of Me - The Eyeliners
..while you're burning in hell

4: Hippy Gumbo - John's Children
Pre T-Rex Marc Bolan screeching

I may be mentally disturbed...

Anne Dudley - A weekend in the county (Jeeves and Wooster Soundtrack)

Unkle Bob - Swans (Sugar & Spite)

Johann Johannsson - Part I (IBM 1401, A User's Manual)

Amy Winehouse - Rehab (Back to Black)

Jumping Someone Else's Train- The Cure
Little Bombs- Aimee Mann
My Apartment- Ben Kweller
The Dog Song- Nellie McKay
Sunday Girl- Blondie

Ormond - the cover of Million Dollars comes from the album "Pinch My Bluegrass: A Bluegrass Tribute to the Barenaked Ladies."

here goes nothing.

Stupify - Disturbed
Summertime - Robbie Williams

WEIRD, THAT WAS FUN!

1. "October" - U2 (forgot how beautiful that song is)

3. "Love and Peace or Else" - U2 (I've got a lot of U2 on here)
4. "Just What I Needed" - The Cars
5. "Change Your Mind" - The Killers

OK, there ya go.

OK, this is fun and slightly terrifying at the same time. I fear that my pop music tastes are going to rear their ugly head. . .

1. "Prelude to a Kiss"--Miles Davis (and a vocalist I can't place at the moment)

2. "Misty Moutaintop"--Led Zepplin

3. "Above All"--Michael W. Smith (yes, I am a Christian)

4. "It Ain't Necessarily So"--Marcus Roberts

5. "Go Your Own Way"--Jellyfish

Not as bad as I imagined it might be. My jazz leanings shined through but none of the fluffy 80's/90's pop of which I am so fond.

BTW, love that someone had New Edition in their list!

ahhhh...

Goodies (rmx) - Ciara

Mexico - Cake

1. California Love (Remix) - Dr. Dre

2. Scrooged - Danny Elfman

3. Great White Buffalo - Ted Nugent

4. Don't Wait - Vaux

5. Mandlebrot Set - Jonathan Coulton

#2, I don't know if that's the soundtrack fo the movie or not. #3, not one of my favorite Nugent songs, but whatever. #4, never heard of 'em--must have come in one of those free iTunes grab bags. I don't know if they're embarrassing or what. Lastly, Johnny C is the man.

Drowning Man - U2

Kiss Me on the Bus - The Replacements

weird and random

I should preface this by saying that a lot of you might have Shuffles or the smaller Nanos, so you probably only download stuff onto your ipod that you really like or find interesting since there's not a ton of room. That makes your selections less embarrasing. I have a 60GB one however, and I pretty much have it filled with every song I've ever owned, gotten for free or was sent by someone else and there's a lot of crap I don't listen to (I just like the comfort of having my ipod full of music). With that said, this list makes me seem gayer than I am. My first five that come up are:

Caught Out There (Neptunes Remix) - Kelis
867-5309/Jimmy - Mark Weigle (gay Tommy Tutone cover)
I Found Love (Babie Love Mix) - Natalie Hagan
Get Your Way (Warehouse Version) - Jamie Cullum
Girls Just Want To Have Fun (12 Inch Mix) - Cyndi Lauper

"Get Your Way (Warehouse Version) - Jamie Cullum"

Nothin' wrong with a little (or a lot) of Jamie. The guy's friggin' amazing.

I keep coming back to this thread to see what else y'all listen to--pretty amazing. And just for the hell of it,

1) so fresh, so clean--outkast
2) whatever lola wants--sarah vaughn (verve remix)
3) you are the one--elliott yamin
4) party--nelly furtado
5) sing for the moment--eminem

Lose Yourself - Eminem (damn!)

Music for a Found Harmonium - Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Not that bad.

Good Woman - Cat Power

One - Metallica (I forgot I even downloaded this one. It always makes me think of the Beavis & Butthead in which they witness the awesomeness of the video)

Exit Music (For a Film) - Christopher O'Riley (more of a novelty than a great version, this is from a classical pianist's Radiohead covers album)

Not Addicted - The Streets

Rory Rides Me Raw - The Vaselines

I had to post again because I've actually made a concerted effort to shuffle all 5401 songs on my ipod for the past few days and only listen that way. It's actually been pretty damn awesome I must say - I fully reccomend the cleansing power of a good shuffle if this thread hasn't already convinced you.

Happy Birthday to Me - Bright Eyes
El Caminos in the West - Grandaddy
If You See Natalie - Eels
Call Call - The Faint
Spiderman vs. Batman vs. Wonder Woman on the Rag - David Cross

3 Gnossienes - III - Lent - Eric Satie

You Took It - Etta James
Jolene - The White Stripes (Live)
Seeds of Reed - Buddy Guy and Junior Wells
Ripcord - Radiohead

Clearly we all pulled out the ipod for this exercise and can't stop listening. I think I'm the millionth person to post my SECOND list of five:

1. Everybody's Everything--Santana

2. Evil and a Heathen--Franz Ferdinand

3. Mass Hysteria--Social Distortion

4. Soul Suckin' Jerk--Beck (how appropriate for work)

5)Black Tambourine => Beck

What the fuck is up with the random blackness!

wow I think I was dropped on my head.. it was alphabetical , not shuffle.

This'll be embarassing, I just know it. Here goes:

Men at Work: Overkill

Fiona Apple: Love Ridden

Deathcab for Cutie: I will follow you into the dark

Paul Simon: 50 ways to leave your lover

Regina Spektor: Genius

1. Night Ride on the Caucasus - Loreena McKennitt

2. The Emperor is Dead - Hanz Zimmer (Gladiator soundtrack)

3. Human After All - Daft Punk

4. Animacion - Paul van Dyk

5. Beauty Never Fades - Junkie XL

I'm kind of surprised only two techno songs snuck in there.

This discriminates against non-iPodinites! But I'm game:

1) The Decemberists -- The Perfect Crime #2
2) Elvis Costello: -- Sulky Girl
3) The New Pornographers -- To Wild Homes
4) John Prine -- Angel from Montgomery
5) Sufjan Stevens -- Jacksonville

1. Sanctified - Nine Inch Nails

2. He War - Cat Power

3. Atoms for Peace - Thom Yorke

4. Emily - Joanna Newsom

5. Split Needles - The Shins

This is all cool and great and everything, but something tells me (um, human nature, especially when it comes to music and lists) that over half of you sat down and came up with a list of 5 songs that would make you look like you've got the most bombastic, sick, clever, non-commerical, indie cred inducing list you could come up with. And you probably took like 2 hours to perfect the list. I'd join in, but I don't own an Ipod, so here is my 5 songs from a shuffled list of all my music on Yahoo Jukebox:

Sunbursts In - Eyeless in Gaza
Be Sweet - Afghan Whigs
Alone, Jealous, and Stoned - Secret Machines
Flesh and Bone - Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica score)
Obstacle 1 - Interpol

Wow, that's so good, it almost seems like I made it up. Honest sugar, I didn't.

Wow, pajiba folks are cool. Am I? Let us see...
"The black hawk war..." Sufjan Stevens
"Carry the zero" Built to Spill
"Airbag" Radiohead
"Rockin' the suburbs" Ben Folds
"No cars go" The Arcade Fire
"Medication" Son Volt

Thats just about right, really. Surprised no Wilco or Springsteen came up.

2. House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
3. Let it Be Me - The Everly Brothers
4. Graceland - Paul Simon
5. Reach - Orleans

I was so scared that something by Extreme was going to come on. Made it through almost unscathed. I was happy to see so many people listening to Ryan Adams.

3.La Vie Boheme-RENT

4.Lost in the Supermarket-The Clash

Wow now, that's a lot of iPod-owning. Who knew there were that many Per Pajiba Capital?

Um...that is: "Capita", no L.

Oh, this is fun....one more, just 'cause:

2. Tessa's Death - Alberto Iglesias (from the 'Constant Gardener' soundtrack)

haha, oh man.
you pretentious shits are cheating.

First, let me say that I abhor musical snobbery. Small minded bullsh*t. I had a chain-smoking Dinosaur Jr./Archers of Loaf-loving roommate in college who from high in her ivory tower of musical taste looked down on my unabashed love of mainstream, pop, and electronic music. Grrrrr. Still irks me to this day.

So throwing caution to the wind and looking like a lame-ass to Pajiba-ites:

1.Helena-My Chemical Romance
2.Do You Have a Little Time-Dido
