The Great Playlist Meme of ‘04

Robert at bump.net posted about this, so I figured I’d post mine.
The instructions go like this:
- Open up the music player on your computer.
- Set it to play your entire music collection.
- Hit the “shuffle” command.
- Tell us the title of the next ten songs that show up (with their musicians), no matter how embarrassing. That’s right, no skipping that Carpenters tune that will totally destroy your hip credibility. It’s time for total musical honesty. Write it up in your blog or journal and link back to at least a couple of the other sites where you saw this.
- If you get the same artist twice, you may skip the second (or third, or etc.) occurances. 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.
When I do that, I get the following 10:
- Numb (Mike Hedges Mix) - U2 (The Best of 1990-2000)
- The Sounds of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel (The Best of...)
- Kicking the Heart Out - Rogue Wave (Out of the Shadow)
- You Are My Love - Jamiroqaui (Travelling Without Moving)
- Why Should I Care - Diana Krall (When I Look In Your Eyes)
- Getting Closer To An Unknown Goal - Rhythm of Snow (42 More Things To Do In Zero Gravity)
- Es Por Ti - Gipsyland (Gipsyland)
- Da Funk - Daft Punk (Homework)
- I Ran - A Flock of Seagulls (A Flock of Seagulls)
- Sara - Fleetwood Mac (The Very Best of...)

You might be able to get the CD from here. It’s hard to get because it’s been discontinued. It will probably cost you around $32 since it’s an import and it’s a two disc collection.
