To play: put your digital music player on shuffle, click play, and list the first ten songs that show up. You must resist the temptation to click past the bad or embarrassing songs. Leave your list in comments or trackbacks.
Here’s my list:
1. “Negated” — Unwound

3. “Rental Car” — Beck
4. “Wade in the Water” — Charlie Haden/Hank Jones
5. “Two Reelers” — Frank Black
6. “Encantada — Ida
7. “Summertime in the Wintertime” — Badly Drawn Boy
8. “Visions of Johanna” — Bob Dylan
9. “I Could Stay Here Forever” — Frank Black
10. “The Bagman’s Gambit” — Decemberists
Favorite Song: “Visions of Johana”
Least Favorite Song: “Summertime in the Wintertime”
Favorite Album: Blonde on Blonde (though I’d like to give a shout out to Steal Away, which I love as well)
What’s on your list? I’m looking forward to seeing it when I get back from my trip.
