Let's get random, again!

Well, well, well, things have been awfully quiet concerning the One Buck Heads recently. Barely a comment could be squeezed of of ya lazy lot! That's gotta change! So, the first random shuffle wasn't a rousing success, but hey, that means we can always do better!

The rules are very simple. Take whatever music playing device you have, put it on random shuffle and list the first ten songs that come up in the comments. There, how hard is that? 

If you don't have a playing device that has a random function, just list the last ten songs you remember hearing/playing, or the last five albums, or whatever your grey cells can remember...

I show you mine, you show me yours?

So, here's mine:


Broken Bells - Citizen

The Shins - One By One All Day

Two Gallants - Miss Meri

Beware Of Darkness -Sweet Girl

Ian Matthews - Da Doo Ron Ron

Midlake - Roscoe

Ramones - The KKK Took My Baby Away

The Doobie Brothers - Don't Start Me To Talkin' 

Kings Of Leon - Frontier City

Paul Weller - Whatever Next 



So, have at it folks...

  2. So, OBG, the reason I never respond to these things is because I'm constantly catching up on downloads, including from this here site (I finished Doobies, Nirvana opera, Hooters & Abbey Road covered today, as I'm not at work for a change). I don't do random shuffles (and don't have a device devoted to music save for my CD player, and I play CDs to hear them as they were sequenced).
    So that means seeing which CDs I haven't put away yet from my last few leisurely (i.e., not catching up on downloads) listens. Here's what's in the stack:
    Red Foley & Ernest Tubb - Red & Ernie
    White Glove Test - Leap
    Richard Thompson - Across A Crowded Room
    Gary Floyd - Acoustic/Naked Angel (inspired by your inclusion of a Sis Doub Happ song in a recent Pearls comp)
    T Rex - Tanx (Deluxe)
    Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady

    1. To be fair, C, I rarely use my portable device with random shuffle, basically only when I use public transport to go to work (once a week) and I haven't forgotten to load and I haven't forgotten to pack the damn thing. In other words, rarely.

      I hear you on the constantly catching up on downloads things, we all have too much good music to listen to nowadays, what a luxurious problem to have...but like you, with kids and a job and a hundred other things to do I don't always find time to listen to everything interesting out there right away...I scrounge up enough time to upkeep this place and do my write-ups and album projects in time stolen away here and there...

      So, the last albums you listened to works prefectly fine, that's quite the eclectic mix you have there..

      (My wife would have a complaint or ten about CDs lingering around and not being put away at their place after being listened to...)

  4. Here is my random listenings, though like others have mentioned I rarely use shuffle mood either. I still paly records or cds 100% of the time and therefore I listen to the complete album as presented. With that said, here's some recent individual cuts/tracks:

    Move by State of Mind, a Delaware garage band
    Tom Traubert's Blues by Tom Waits
    So Easy To Forget by Jude Johnstone
    The Girl With the Long Black Hair by The Other Half, another killer garage band track
    Maybe I'm Amazed by Sir Paul McCartney
    Hello Again by Amos Lee, from the terrific Mission Bell cd
    Delta Dawn by Tanya Tucker
    In The Garden by Willie Nelson
    Remember (Walkin' in the Sand) by the Shangri-Las &
    The Walker by Fitz & the Tantrums

    There ya go! - greg

    1. That's the spirit!

      I have that Amos Lee album, but it's been a while that I've listened to it. Put it out of the shelf for a future listen...
