Shuffle holds all the keys

I've long been a fan of those generic shuffle mixes. You know, where you fire up the iPod (or whatever it is you chose to listen to), hit play, and just make your mix from whatever comes up. There's no real rhyme or reason and it's so simple it's sad, but I always thought it held so much information. It can give a clear picture of exactly what a person likes to listen to, etc. I'm always amused by my Shuffle mixes; they can be all over the map just like I am.

Lebanese Blond -- Thievery Corporation
Lorelei -- Ella Fitzgerald
Solar -- Miles Davis All Stars
So What -- Ani diFranco
Ex-Girlfriend Syndrome -- Charlotte Sometimes
That Thing -- Lauren Hill
My Heart Stood Still -- Chet Baker
Running Up That Hill -- Kate Bush
Summer Sun -- Koop
Sell Out -- Tiger Lou
Leave the Pieces -- The Wreckers
American Dreamin'-- Jay-Z
With Plenty of Money and You -- Tony Bennett and Count Bassie
Sowing the Seeds of Love -- Tears for Fears
Whatever Whenever -- Groove Armada
Save Me -- Aimee Mann
Army of Me -- Bjork
The Ghost In You -- Psychedelic Furs
Crucify -- Tori Amos

Get it here if you're so inclined.

Up next for me: a Christmas mix, my favorites of 2008, and my New Years mix for the mix-of-the-month thingie!

From Ella to Bjork that is a jump. That just means you're openminded and a lover of music! Both those artists are in my Itunes library, too.

I love Charlotte Sometimes, too. And you, of course :-)

"Solar" -> "So What" is serendipity. Love the Chet Baker & Kate Bush pairing too. Cool.

There's quite a lot of odd pairings on here, which is just the way I like it. But my favorite juxtaposition has to be this:

American Dreamin'-- Jay-Z
With Plenty of Money and You -- Tony Bennett and Count Bassie

Stellar!

I always giggle when my iPod does something like that, go from Rap to Jazz. I don't know why, but it just amuses the heck out of me.

I alphabetize my CDs by First Name, Last Name. My favorite juxtaposition: Aretha Franklin sitting next to Armageddon Dildos. Classic.

put this one on at work today, very nice. especially liked the opening trio, the Charlotte Sometimes/Lauren Hill pairing, that Koop song and the Kate Bush, Tears For Fears and Psychedelic Furs picks here are all old favorites. swell set, collected mess.

Whilst I like the look of the mix, I'm old school and have no use whatsoever for an iPod.

I'm with Cliff on the no ipod and I like several of the songs on the mix - especially Lauryn Hill's. The only shuffle I've done is on the dance floor.
