This week’s "random 10" from our Itunes party shuffle brings up seven of my songs, and three that my wife downloaded. I discern no theme whatsoever, but once again am moderately chagrined at my continued unhipness.
1. "Wuthering Heights", Kate Bush
2. "Everybody’s Got to Go Sometime", Terri Clark
3. "You Sang to Me", Marc Anthony
4. "One Time, One Night", Los Lobos
5. "Hot Child in the City", Nick Gilder
6. "Scatterlings of Africa", Johnny Clegg and Juluka
7. "Nothing Without You", Bebo Norman
8. "Plane Wreck at Los Gatos", Joan Baez
9. "Hypnotize", Notorious B.I.G.
10. "Love Song for a Savior", Jars of Clay
We’re seeing Terri Clark in concert later this month, and I’ve been getting back into Kate Bush and Bebo Norman (the latter utterly unknown outside of Christian circles) a lot lately. At least none of my 80s metal music came up this time.
I LOVE KATE BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know for all the time I’ve been reading your blog I’ve never really gotten the Friday Random Ten things. No, no, don’t explain! I’m sticking to animal pictures myself.
Well, for the sake of others who might WANT an explanation… Itunes has a feature called “party shuffle”. If you’ve downloaded 100s or 1000s of songs, party shuffle randomly selects 10 tracks from your library. In a sense, it’s an ideal indicator of the breadth of people’s musical tastes.
