Let's do the random shuffle!

A beloved feature to close out threads on the now defunct False Memory Foam island was the "Hit random shuffle" feature. Well, time to revisit this over here at One Buck Records. 

The rules are excessively simple: Simply hit random play on the music-playing device of your choice and list the ten first tracks that come up. No cheating for coolness points! If Lou Bega comes up, so be it! If you don't have a music device with random play, list the five last albms you listened to. If you are old and/or infirm of spirit and don't remember those either, just list the last song you had stuck in your head...

See, exceedingly simple. As I should, I start of proceedings and you'll hopefully follow suit. 

Alright folks, let's hit the rando shuffle!

  3. Yes really, no kidding, these are my last 5 CDs I listened to:

    Carla Bley a.o. - Escalator Over The Hill (Original Studio Recording 1971)

    Carla Bley a.o. - Escalator Over The Hill Live 1998 Perugia, Italy

    Carla Bley a.o. - Escalator Over The Hill Live 1997 Cologne, Germany

    Carla Bley a.o. - Escalator Over The Hill Live 1998 Vienne, France

    The question is whether that counts, because I usually fall asleep at the latest during "Rawalpindi Blues".

    Four Tops - My own compilation of singles

      As the blogmaster of Schnickschnackmixmax, I bet this was homework for a future post of some sort...am I close?!

  4. Well ... "close" is not quite the right word. Better would be "could have been, if it hadn't already been months ago", here: https://schnickschnackmixmax.blogspot.com/2023/06/carla-bley-band-ecsalator-over-hill.html
    It's actually one of my favorite works, I listen to it a lot. I bought the original triple LP in 1974.
