Now Playing, Random Version
May 30, 2007 08:54PM
I decided to try an experiment using this site's random entry function, where I would hit random entry, then if I owned any album listed on that entry, I'd put it on my list of things to listen to tonight. If I had more than one album from any entry, I would choose only one. So here's what I ended up with for tonight:

Big Star - RADIO CITY
Fatboy Slim - HALFWAY BETWEEN THE GUTTER AND THE STARS
Go-Betweens - BRIGHT YELLOW, BRIGHT ORANGE
Cake - COMFORT EAGLE
Crash Test Dummies - THE GHOSTS THAT HAUNT ME

So all in all, not a bad night's listening. I'll definitely try this again.

POP - go!
ARTO LINDSAY/AMBITIOUS LOVERS - envy
SLITS - cut

could only make it through a couple eyes adrift songs before my mind floated adrift, but the next two were fun! haven't made it to the slits and clock dva yet, but i'm looking forward to them!

Great idea.

Steve McQueen (Two Wheels Good) - Prefab Sprout
Loveless - My Bloddy Valentine
Furthermore What EP - Oh-OK
Slanted & Enchanted - Pavement
Eventually - Paul Westerberg

I'm going to give it my best shot. Might be asleep by "Goodbye Lucille #1" (fifth track on Steve McQueen), but, hey, it's Prefab Sprout...

Pedaljets - Today Today

It can take quite a few hits. Plus, it's re-affirmed my belief that the Carnival Strippers come up any time I hit random entry more than 5 or 10 times. Thank God I got rid of that disc years ago. It was a tad underwhelming.

Strange that Jules and the Polar Bears and Til Tuesday both got in the rotation. If you own any Michael Penn discs, they're likely pretty pissed right now.

I don't know, man. Despite the fact that I know most of the guys in Blotto, I wouldn't put them in the top 2 of that list unless you're going for sentimental favorites. . .(Forgive me, Sarge, Bowtie, and Lee Harvey)
