Random Music Meme
Thursday, May 24, 2007 at 07:24AM I'm behind on two memes already (I haven't forgotten, really I haven't, I just haven't taken the time because I know it's going to take some time to do them right!) . Even so, I'm going to do this one because it's very, very easy.
Rebecca started a
"put-your-iPod-on-shuffle-and-confess-publically-what-comes-up" meme. I don't have an iPod, but I do have iTunes on my computer, so I took the lazy way out. I put iTunes on shuffle and then took a screen shot of the songs that came up. I didn't even listen to them--how lazy is that?
Kim from Hiraeth
Leslie asked what would come up if I shuffled only my music. I don't know how to do that; so, I'll shuffle again and pick out the first 10 songs that I would play (not all necessarily my "own" songs, but ones I like and would listen to:
Treebeard, London Philharmonic, Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers Soundtrack
Cello Concerto in B Flat, Cello Adagios
Life on Mars, David Bowie, Hunky Dory
Dowland: Can She Excuse My Wrongs, Sting and Eden Karamozov, Songs from the Labyrinth*
Fisherman's Blues, Waterboys, Waking Ned Divine Soundtrack
Hedwig's Theme, John Williams, Sorcerer's Stone Soundtrack
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, The Beatles, Help!
Brand New Day, Sting, Brand New Day
Frozen Man, James Taylor, New Moon Shine
Marlene, Todd Rundgren, Something/Anything?
* The boys bought me Songs from the Labyrinth for Mother's Day, so I am listening to that a lot lately. Sting, John Dowland, and the Lute--gotta love it! (you can listen to samples here)

Not much of a shuffle here. I think it must've shuffled the most recents because I see alot of Jake and Sam's music.
Sam loves movie soundtracks. Jake loves Classic Rock.
This is a really neat meme. We have similar tastes in music...I could do without the David Bowie, though. My husband's favorite group is The Beatles, so I get to listen to them a lot. I am surprised to see some LedZep on your list...sometimes you just gotta get the Led out, huh?
Hey! Guess whose birthday is today?
Is it your birthday?
If you did a shuffle of just your music, what would come up?
That's a interesting list. I have quite a bit of James Taylor on my iPod, but none of them came up in the shuffle.
Do you have the Princess Bride soundtrack?
No, but I have the movie on tape and on DVD. I would love the soundtrack, though. . .wonder if I can find it used on amazon?
I have Screenplaying, which includes Mark Knopler's songs from 3 or 4 movies, including Princess Bride. I keep coming back to the Princess Bride songs. . .
I love your list. I like Sting, too, but I don't have any music on my iTunes.
Today is Bob Dylan's birthday. He's 66.
Ah Sting, Bowie, and the Beatles! Can it get any better?!
Funky play list!
