I made a thread of this kind a while ago, and I feel that it's time for a revisit - partly because they've been doing this monthly on the rather excellent www.wordmagazine.co.uk site.
Simple rules - whatever you have your tunes on (your computer or an associated MP3 player - brand optional), give us a random selection. First five tunes out of the gates - no editing to try and look cool, on pain of a sound beating with a damp haddock. Here's mine: I See You Baby (Fatboy Slim Radio Edit) - Groove Armada (The Best Of Groove Armada) Just Like You Imagined - Nine Inch Nails (The Fragile) Put Me Out - Emtombed (DCLXVI - To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth) Gyrru Gyrru Gyrru - Gruff Rhys (Candylion) We Are Your Friends - Justice Vs Simian (Esound Jun 06 - EMI Sampler) And with that, I wipe the nervous sweat from my brow and thank my lucky starts that it didn't pick from my ABBA collection. Next! -------------------- the end is nice |

Everyone already knows you have a TON of ABBA, InKles.
Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At? the Smiths - Money Changes Everything (syuunote: Smiffs are bound to come up often, it isn't cheating - I just have their entire. discography.) Evans Blue - Cold Lit - Miserable Foo Fighters - Everlong Man, it missed all my gangsta rap.

Woah. Here we go:
Hate Me - Blue October Right Through You - Alanis Morrisette Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional Rest Stop - Incubus (This may not be the actual name of the track - the cd I uploaded most of my incubus from, for some reason, named all of the tracks incorrectly.) Not so bad. It, at least, didn't tap in to any of my country music...heh. -------------------- Her dignity shone so bright like a light on a hill and she burned for me, no other man came near her flame.

Well, I'm still working on my essay, so I guess I'll distract myself again with random music!
Darkest of the Hillside Thickets - Walking On The Moon (Lovecraft-themed band, here covering the Police) The White Stripes - I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart (what's with all the White Stripes? I've only got two albums out of a music library of four thousand songs... still, this is a good one) Modest Mouse - Blame It On The Tetons Daft Punk - Teachers Scott Matthews - White Feathered Medicine (I don't know who this is or why it's on my computer) -------------------- Every sort of expert knowledge and every inquiry, and similarly every action and undertaking, seems to seek some good.

Really, my essay's coming along great. Nearly hit four thousand words, which is my upper limit...
Rush - Different Strings Ministry - Hero The Cure - Icing Sugar (so much Cure!) Modest Mouse - I Came As A Rat (oh! Oh! This is serendipitous - Jaq sent me this song years ago, telling me I'd like it. And I did. That's my story.) Klaxons - Atlantis to Interzone (killer track, but the Crystal Castles remix is even killerer. Check it out, I beseech you!) -------------------- Every sort of expert knowledge and every inquiry, and similarly every action and undertaking, seems to seek some good.

It's okay) Oh Well Part 1 - Fleetwood Mac The Longest Day - Iron Maiden (Not much of a surprise, I have literally hundreds of maiden tracks on here) What Have You Done - Within Tempation (Ahh, I love this, and haven't listened to it in a while) Ghost of the Navigator - Iron Maiden (>_> told you there was a lot of maiden on here) -------------------- QUOTE (Peter Griffin) Math, my dear boy, is nothing more than the lesbian sister of biology. |

Supergrass - 'Pumping On Your Stereo' Belle & Sebastian - 'It could Have Been A Brilliant Career' Hopper - ''Cause I Rock' Pere Ubu - '30 Seconds Over Tokyo' Katzenjammers - 'Cars' The last tune is stunning - a steel drum instrumental version of the Numanoid classic. Top banana. QUOTE (CommieBastard @ May 11 2008, 09:03 PM) Nena - 99 Luftballoons (ah, the first bit of brilliant cheese to show up here!) Fixed that for you. Daria - nice selection.

 'Trouble Down Pit' now online! Group: Admin Posts: 10,141 Joined: 22-February 03 From: Southern UK Member No.: 1 Gender: Male |
I have just moved house, and in the process did a very painful thing - I ripped all of my CD collection onto a hard-drive and gave the originals to charity. Yikes.
This does mean that my mp3 collection is now over 100GB, spans 15+ years of music collecting and 130 years of recorded audio (I've got Edison in my collection). It's going to be an eclectic mix once I get my PC at home online again. Currently I'm at work, so I would put the iRiver on random but that would lose my place in the audio book I'm listening to. You'll just have to wait to see what delights manifest themselves in my random list. In the meantime - what's an easy way of getting random tracks in Winamp, other than enqueing my gazillion albums and then setting it to randomise them? Nice to see you Commie! -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday
