Why, It's the iPod Meme!

I see that I did this only about 6 months ago, but the heck with it, I love me some constrained randomosity (in that there is a set number of songs, but within that set, it's random)... .

You can tell a lot about someone by the music they listen to. Hit shuffle on your iPod/iPhone/iTunes/media player and write down the first 10 songs. Then pass this on to 10 people. ... No tagging here, but I'd enjoy seeing your song lists.

2. A Lonely Voice - October Project
3. Come to My Window - Melissa Etheridge
4. Golden Slumbers - The Beatles

The Joni Mitchell is one of my favorite songs ever, from the opening sax riff to the strange bridge in the middle to the sad, dreamy finish:

"It always seems so righteous at the start
When there's so much laughter, when there's so much spark
When there's so much sweetness in the dark ... ."

I haven't done things like this in ages, I think I'll have to do this! A bit later though. I'll probably post them on my journal.

I 1000% agree about that Joni Mitchell song and extend it to the whole album. It was and is one of my all-time favorites.

Here's my list - RealPlayer doesn't do exactly random, it makes up an hour-long playlist of top favorites, so it's kind of cherry-picked, but here goes:

1. Dindi – Jon Lucien (Antonio Carlos Jobim cover)
2. Nada Sera Como Antes, Amanhã (Nothing Will Be As It Was, Tomorrow) – Flora Purim
3. Forget Myself – Elbow
4. Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) - Jimi Hendrix
5. My Little Brown Book – John Coltrane
6. Amie – Pure Prairie League
7. Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground – Ry Cooder
8. Fall On Me, Angel – Muddy Apes
9. Emotions Wound Us So – Larry Carlton
10. In the Waiting Line – Zero 7

For some reason, "Come to My Window" has been one of my favourite songs since I was a very small girl. I'm not sure what that says about me (except that there are a lot of Melissa Etheridge fans in my family, maybe?)

I'm gonna go and do this at my journal now.
