Random iPod Playlist
This has been going around on a few blogs lately (I found it via Blue Plaid Shirt)… You put your iPod on Shuffle (I always do anyway) then make a list of the first 15 songs, no matter how embarrassing! I don’t think much of my music is that embarrassing, but we’ll see what happens….
1. Cautioners – Jimmy Eat World
2. Holiday – Weezer
3. Lucky – Radiohead
4. Paul – Eminem
5. Magician Manor Mod – Some random techno I downloaded from somewhere
6. Nothing 2 Proove – Roger Sanchez
7. Exchange – Massive Attack
8. Ocean Avenue – Yellowcard
9. Aurora – Foo Fighters
10. Across the Night – Silverchair
11. Here’s your letter – Blink 182
12. O Girlfriend – Weezer
13. Don’t Leave Me – Blink 182
14. You Wouldn’t Believe – 311
15. Sweetness – Jimmy Eat World
There we go… That wasn’t too bad. I actually have 1,500 songs on the iPod, but you wouldn’t know it from looking at the “randomness” of the shuffle mode. It always seems to have a preference for Blink 182 and Weezer for some reason. Strange. It picked a couple great songs for that first 15 though… I really like that Silverchair album, Diorama. Good stuff. Then the new Blink 182, which was probably my favorite album from 2003. I really like their newish style. And of course some oldies but goodies like Weezer and Radiohead. 
Feel free to post your own 15 in the comments or on your own blog, if you are so inclined.
1. Intro - NERD

12. Le Soleil Est Pres De Moi - Air
13. Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield
14. Special Powers - Grand Buffet
15. Test Press - Kool Keith
Here’s what my iPod dealt me:
Deep In It, St Germain
Skeleton Key, Days Of The New
Nothing Left, Machine Head
Sludge Factory, Alice In Chains
Get It Together (Reprise), Seal
Starting To Hurt, Ryan Adams

I definitely know what you mean about the “randomness”; out of 3,000 songs two or three from the same band often crop up right next to each other. But still, not too bad a DJ I must admit
