I saw this on another blog somewhere the other day. The deal: Take your iPod, MP3, Zune, whatever and set it to shuffle/random, then write down the first ten songs it plays. Here are my ten:
1. The First Noel, Richard Hillert (Away in the Manger)
2. Rainy Days & Mondays, The Carpenters
3. The Flowers of Guatemala, R.E.M.
4. Moonlight Serenade, Glenn Miller Orchestra
5. The Long Way Home, Norah Jones
6. Summertime, Soy Hero
7. A House with No Curtains, Alan Jackson
8. Luck Be a Lady, Frank Sinatra
9. Love is Everything, k.d. lang
10. Ruby Adeline, Minnie Driver

I like the mix!, but I have to ask you... which version of Sinatra's Luck Be a Lady is it?
Is it the studio version, or the live version which was recorded at The Sands (in Vegas) in 1966?
1. Ball of Confusion - Temptations
2. Satan is My Motor - Cake
3. Mandy - Barry Manilow
4. New Day Dawning - Tartan Amoebas
5. Mercy, Mercy Me - Marvin Gaye
6. Happy Ever After - Julia Fordham
7. You Meant It Then - Proclaimers
8. Lord, Raise Me Up - Matisyahu
9. Rock Steady - Mark Broussard
10. It Fills You Up - Van Morrison
Gunfighter: It's a studio version. Should I check out the live recording from the Sands?
As for your list, I recognize six of the ten artists whose songs you have. I'll have to check out the others. Good list.
I just had to do this for laughs.
1. Dil Ne Pukara - Shakti
2. Fall Out - Train - We Were Soldiers
3. Haunted - Evanescence - Fallen
4. Home of the Blues - Joaquin Phoenix - Walk the Line
5. Chuttum Vizhi - Kandukondain Kandukondain
6. Chup Chup Ke - Bunty aur Babli
7. Feels Like a Woman - Zucchero - French Kiss
8. I Believe - Tammy Cochran - We Were Soldiers
9. Why do the nations so furiously rage...Air (Bass) - The Messiah
10. Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven - Movie Adagios
I must admit, rather an odd mix.
Um, no ipod to shuffle. Should I envy you? :)
Janet,
Sinatra, Live At The Sands.
An awesome recording.
1. Song for a Winter's Night - Sarah McLachlan
2. Give a Little Bit - Supertramp
3. Leaving New York - R.E.M.

Kaidydid: Clazy, clazy list, Chaneen. You funny.
SML: No, don't be jealous. It's just one less piece of technology to burden you. (And, in truth, I just opened iTunes and did a shuffle there. Seems silly to turn on my iPod with the exact same list.)
Gunfighter: I'll check out Frank's live performance!
Swizzies: Love your list. And don't you just love the new Sarah McLachlan CD? I just got that one and it's fabulous, I think.
