Everyone else is doing this

(1) Turn on your music player or computer
(2) Go to SHUFFLE songs mode,
(3) Write down the first 30 songs that come up--song title and artist--NO editing/cheating, please. ...

1. The Shamen - Progen 91
2. Peaches - Stuff Me Up
3. Pram - Narwhal
4. Saint Etienne - People Get Real
5. Depeche Mode - Blasphemous Rumours
6. Rush - Limelight
7. Sparklehorse - Saturday
8. Kaiser Chiefs - What Did I Ever Give You
9. The Yummy Fur - Deathclub
10. The Smiths - The Headmaster Ritual
11. Kraftwerk - The Man Machine
12. The Shamen - Possible Worlds (!)
13. Long Fin Killie - How I Blew It With Houdini
14. The Auteurs - Future Generation
15. Nick Drake - The Thoughts Of Mary Jane
16. Burial - U Hurt Me
17. REM - Drive
18. Japan - Despair
19. The Shamen - Lightspan Soundwave (what!)
20. Long Fin Killie - Gold Swinger
21. The Korgis - Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime
22. The Stranglers - Cruel Garden
23. Captain Beefheart - Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles
24. Comus - Bitten
25. Aphex Twin - Come On You Slags
26. 808 State - Spanish Heart
27. Bizarre Inc - Playing With Knives
28. Momus - Last Of The Window Cleaners
29. Brian Eno & David Byrne - The Carrier
30. Craig Pulsar - The Things We Do

I always have my mp3 player on random - I swear The Shamen hadn't come up at all for months. Ah well, at least it wasn't anything from "In Gorbachev We Trust". And no Fall, despite my having about 30 Fall albums on there. Overall, though, that selection isn't bad. There's more variety there than usual; it can go a whole day serving up nothing but Ladytron and Devo.

Other people are welcome to have a go. I'll be impressed to find out that you sometimes listen to Pere Ubu immediately followed by Freiheit.
