This is what my iPod decided to shuffle. I do not know these songs. That is why they were on my iPod. I am trying to broaden my horizons.
ReplyDeleteThe Sky Opened Up by Angel Olsen
Take It Off by Ke$ha
We Don't Call by Thao & The Get Down Stay Down
They Don't Know by Tara Jane O'Neil
Lonely Sea by Eric Matthews
Thess were decided by the iTunes on my computer, 240 GB as opposed to my iPod's 16 GB. I know these.
ReplyDeleteI'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris by Morrissey
The Sick Bed Of Cuchuliann by The Pogues
Ditch by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Goodbye To Guyville by Urge Overkill
Down To You by Joni Mitchell
Pat, do you still pronounce it Churches or do you slip the V in there somewhere?
I haven't tried to pronounce it yet. I do think it is way too precious to have both ALL CAPS and the U/V switch, though that could just be that I am cranky.
ReplyDeleteThought that for awhile though so maybe I've been cranky for a long time.
I have to listen to more Thao, really like that song you brought to club a couple years back.
Gina, the Bee Gees/Cello/Seal trio is fantastic.
I'm going to post my first six songs every weekday until I don't.
I was pretty proud of my iPod!
DeleteI wonder what it means when:
ReplyDelete- The broadening my horizon shuffle contains 4 women artists then a man. They are all from the 21st century. They are all quiet-ish, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down less so. They are all American. 1 band, 4 solo artists. Only 1 song is a cover.
- The larger collection of songs, which include the horizon-broadeners, is 4 men followed by a woman. 1 from 2009, 2 from the 90s, 1 from the 80s, and 1 from the 70s. 1 English, 1 Irish, 2 American, 1 Canadian. 3 bands and 2 solo artists. No covers, weird.
Careful. You might end up getting another 5,000 word treatise on how I am programming my daily music.
DeleteWhich horizon are you trying to broaden? Just newer music?
I sense a theme......
Mostly just trying to listen to music made in the last 10 years or so. It isn't a high bar I set. It's just a bar.
DeleteActually, BETTER BE HOME SOON is one of, maybe even is, my favorite Crowded House song.
ReplyDeleteRight???? SO good.
DeleteIt really is. Never got a chance to see them, but always wanted to.
DeleteI have to brag that I saw them twice back in the day. LOVED.
DeleteReally? You have to brag?
Deletewhy do i always mix up crowded house and split enz?
DeleteBrothers, innit? Kiwi brothers even.
DeleteWhat are the odds that if I were to submit these anonymously you would peg them as coming from me? Regardless I stopped before things got out of hand and way obvious. You know, like Vanessa Williams 'Running Back to You' being the next song or something...
ReplyDeleteAll the Love – The Outfield
Still Into You – Paramore (spoiler alert you’re likely to hear this one at year end…)
Fell on Black Days – Soundgarden
Gouge Away – Pixies
Orange Sky – Alexi Murdoch
Catch Me I’m Falling – Pretty Posion
Get the message? Enough said! ;-)
Is there a way to do this anonymously? It sounds fun to guess who has what.
DeleteWe used to back in the early days but I changed the setting because we were getting spammed. We could flip it back and off we go.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the SPAM was no good.
DeleteI dislike SPAM more than I want to play a game.
Hello
ReplyDeletei don't want love... The Antlers
arms & hearts... The Hold Steady
long black limousine... Merle Haggard
hate it here... Wilco
been down so long... The Doors
rosie... Tom Waitts
my random is predictable.
Here I go.
ReplyDeleteA Passing Feeling - Elliot Smith
Plateau - Nirvana
Blowin' Smoke - Kacey Musgraves
Blame it on Cain - Elvis Costello
Spanish Joint - D'Angelo
I think I may be predictable.
The more I look at this shuffle the more I think you may have had no more 20 or 30 songs on the iPod total. Any 2 of those songs with the possible exception of Plateau would have led me to you.Replace Plateau with a Dylan song and Marcy is the only possible guess.
DeleteThat kind of consistency is admirable.
Today's Norm is at work and just tried to mark a file cabinet edition:
ReplyDeleteYo La Tengo -- Black Flowers
Camper Van Beethoven -- Devil Song
Wilco -- Monday
Elvis Costello -- Heart Shaped Bruise
Gomez -- Sound of Sounds
How to Dress Well -- Ready for the World
Keane - Perfect Symmetry
ReplyDeleteFlorence & The Machine - All This & Heaven Too
The XX - Our Song
Beatles- Seargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Alabama Shakes- Hold On
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
I still like the anonymous guessing idea, just for a couple days.
Heard this on the bus this morning.
ReplyDeleteDon't Die by Killer Mike
Cathouse by Pissed Jeans
Wrecking Ball [Live] by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
Hardmentoughblokes by Adam Ant
Mind Terrorist by Public Enemy
Take Me I'm Yours by Squeeze
That was a horrible shuffle. I will never listen to that combination again. May be my iPod is broken. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Stand a little taller. What doesn't kill you makes a fighter. Footsteps even lighter.
In the wrong hands, shuffle can be a dangerous thing.
ReplyDeleteshuffle away people!
ReplyDeleteToday's Foggy Monday edition:
ReplyDeleteNick Lowe -- No Reason
Of Monsters and Men -- Little Talks
Arctic Monkeys -- Potion Approaching
Mountain Goats -- San Bernardino
Tom Waits -- Green Grass
Elvis Costello -- Still Too Soon to Know
Who am I?
ReplyDeleteBusby Berkeley Dreams - Magnetic Fields
Shark Attack Theme - Sven Libaek
Human Beings - Seal
Horchata - Vampire Weekend
Grey Street - Dave Matthews
Lies - Glen Hansard
You are Gina.
DeleteWho am I?
Eels - Last Stop: This Town
Yo La Tengo - Before We Run
The-Dream - Loving You/Crazy
Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of Fire
Al Green - Take Me To The River
Peaches - Search And Destroy
You are Pat.
Deletewait, who's pat?
Deletethe one who said it was pat (which is my guess), the first anonymous, or the second anonymous?
That isn't Pat but I wholly approve any list that has Last Stop:This Town on it.
DeleteI think it is Greg.
DeleteI think the second list with the Eels is Jim. That first one, definitely Gina.
DeleteMan, no one even questioned mine. Was it the Seal? Was it the Dave Matthews.
DeleteAh. It was both, together, wasn't it? *sigh*
Okay, you know what? You're hilarious.
DeleteIt was both, together. That did it.
Shark Attack Theme was just a bonus.
The Tuesday morning welp I already just posted two comments so might as well not be anonymous now edition:
ReplyDeleteAlejandro Escovedo -- Irene Wilde
Kendrick Lamar -- M.A.A.D. City (that was an interesting segue)
Son Volt -- Catching On
Iron & Wine -- Tree by the River
J Boogie's Dubtronic Science -- Ayanna's Tears
Memory Tapes -- Follow Me
All in all not my favorite shuffle list.
When The World - Cave Singers
ReplyDeleteWatch The Tape - LCD Soundsystem
Who Cares - Gnarls Barkely
The Way It Goes- Gillian Welch
Father Figure - George Michael
You Are Blind- Ryan Bingham
Yes, Deb. I was the second anonymous. Thanks for guessing me.
ReplyDeleteWho listens to Cave Singers? Well, I know Pat and Deb and Marcy do. Does Greg or J.?
LCD Soundsystem is all you guys, so that's no help.
Gnarls Barkley could be anyone or no one. It does have CeeLo and he is on The Voice.
The Way It Goes was in Music Club (incidentally so was that Eels song as well as Great Balls Of Fire) so it might be someone who doesn't necessarily listen to Gillian Welch, but does actually listen to Music Club selections.
All I see right now is J. karaokeing Father Figure.
I don't know Ryan Bingham but I just binged him and he makes me think either Deb or Greg.
I'm gonna guess Deb? Maybe.
Tuesday bus ride:
All The Time by The Strokes
Give Me Another Chance by Big Star
It Must Be Love by Solomon Burke
I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You) by Aretha Franklin
Ship In Distress by Marc Almond
I Need A Dollar by Aloe Blacc
Something is funky with my iPod (not updating songs) so today we will have the Pandora shuffle (i've not heard four of these before):
ReplyDeleteRuckus Roboticus -- How to Handle Grownups
Wax Tailor -- Once Upon a Past
Gorillaz -- 19-2000 (Soulchild remix)
Land of the Loops -- Multi-Family Garage Sale (aside -- I love this song SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!)
The Prids -- Forever Again
Sons of Jack -- Electric Monkey
I know none of those songs, only one of those bands and I would want the nickname Ruckus Roboticus if it wasn't already taken.
ReplyDeleteBravo.
I think I would as well. We could split it -- you could be Ruckus and I'll take Roboticus.
DeleteStill on the Pandora. My station has a lot of downtempo/chill, and I like much of it -- the problem is that bad chill sounds quite a bit like soft jazz, and soft jazz sucks.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard any of these songs before.
Alex Cortiz -- Barfly
Coco Coral -- The Wheel (musica dub mix)
Nu Life -- Outta Town
Beth Orton -- Thinking About Tomorrow (IPG dub)
The Clean -- Champagne & Misery (that is a good song title)
The Stereotypes -- Outside
Oh, and I got a list sent to me by ruckusroboticus69@gmail. The 69 was a nice touch.
DeleteHey, The Clean are down-tempo?
DeleteThey are another Kiwi band and I've always been curious about them.
The Clean and The Stereotypes were not downtempo, as i recall sounded solidly power pop/garage.
DeleteWomen Kind (Demo) [Mono] by Paul McCartney (Kind of stupid)
ReplyDeleteAnother Lover by Janet Jackson (11 seconds. Not much of a song)
Dang Me by Roger Miller (Yay! Maple syrple)
And Suddenly by Cherry People (Not as good as one would hope)
Anna Lee by Levon Helm (Old-timey)
Move With The Wind by Mudhoney (That's funny. I think of this as one of their newer ones. I see now it is 15 years old.)
Zombi (Supermarket) by Goblin (I started here on purpose, so probably not a true shuffle)
ReplyDeleteNothing At All by Screaming Females
Don't Let The World Get In Your Way by The Jayhawks (Music Club got me into the Jayhawks. Thank you)
I Can't Stand Myself (When You Touch Me), Pts. 1 & 2 by James Brown
Everything's There by The Hysterics
You're My Thrill by Chet Baker (I like The Thrill Is Gone)
Okay, purely by coincidence, I swear, but it appears that Goblin is playing tonight at Neumo's.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thestranger.com/seattle/crimson-and-cleaver/Content?oid=17960158
