New Feature - Computer Shuffle 25

[H2IZCOOL]

Going to try a new feature. First of all I need to give credit to Viki, as she posted this feature on RL (although she said she "stole it" from a myspace board) and also to Adam who ran a post similar to this idea a little while ago. -- But I'll expand on the idea a little.


Anyway, here's the deal. Go to your music player program on your computer, and import all of the music that you have stored on your hard drive onto a single playlist. Then hit "shuffle"

List the first 25 songs (artist and title) that get played after the shuffle. Be honest. If one or more are guilty pleasures -- hey, we're all friends here. If you like, add comments, such as how that song got onto your hard drive.

I'll list my 25 (I'll use the list I posted on RL from my shuffling last night) and you can comment on them if you like, but be sure to post your own list.

I think that every so often we can repeat this feature, as everyone would then have a different list - I would think. Anyway here's mine:

1. Roy Orbison - Only The Lonely (Live from The Queens Theatre)
I have all the Queens Theatre tracks, but haven't burned a CD yet.

2. The Belmonts - Ann-Marie
going on my next No One Else Remember CDs

3. The Beach Boys - Til I Die
Click origin. Probably Pete, but I don't remember

4. Rocky Burnette - Tired of Toeing the Line

5. The Secrets - The Boy Next Door
Another Click post induced this

6. Frank Ifield - I'm Confessin'

7. Wilson Phillips - The Dream Is Still Alive

8. The Iveys (early Badfinger) - I've Been Waiting

9. The Members - Working Girl
Already on a Point and Click CD

10. Los Pop Tops - Oh Lord, Why Lord

11. Weird Al Yankovic - Spy Hard
Downloaded it a while ago after I saw the movie

12. Roy Orbison - This Lonely Heart
13. Roy Orbison - In The Real World
I have a "holding tank" of Roy songs that I haven't put on a CD yet. Funny how two of them came out back to back; i have over 1200 songs on my hard drive

14. The Raspberries - Hands On You

15. The Beatles - Money (That's What I Want)
16. The Beatles - Martha My Dear
I've been burning CD replicas of all my Beatles LPs, and the files are still on my hard drive

17. Death Cab for Cutie - Scientist Studies
My son leaves a lot of his music on my computer, and this one popped up. heard it for the first time last night. It's really pretty good.

18. Roy Orbison - Running Scared (Live - Austin City Limits)

19. The Jayhawks - Tailspin (Live from The Women's Club)
Another of my son's. -- But I really like this group

20. The Beatles - Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

21. Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall In Love
From (I believe) a post of Adam's.

22. Movie Soundtrack - Theme from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
A while back -- like 2002? I was collecting Star Trek music off of Napster and was going to make a CD, but I never did.

23. Cliff Richard - Living Doll
Inspired by Pete's 'Coulda Been A Contender' series

24. The Fleetwoods - Runaround
Headed to No One Else Remembers

25. Del Shannon and the Traveling Wilburys - Walk Away (bootleg)
When Del was "auditioning" to take Roy's spot after Roy died. - But then Del died.

So... those are my Shuffle 25.

How 'bout you?

5 O'Clock World was done by the Vogues, Viki. I don't believe the DC5 covered it, but I could be wrong.

Interesting list. I'm familiar with the older songs, but not many of the newer ones. I'm ready to be educated.

[H2IZCOOL]

OK guys. This HAS to be a first. Ken, Adam and I all answered Viki at 5:04 PM EDT. And we all answered the 5'oClock world question. -- And of course, mine came in last.


LOL!

[Viki (ditzybrunette85)]

Thanks about the info on #12 on my list! I'll go edit that now in my song collection.

[Ken]

Ok let's see what I have on the hard drive.

1.Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues
I've always loved this classic. I've been wanting to learn it on guitar so I downloaded it.

2.Marc Carroll - Crash Pad Number
Great Ricky 12 string on this! I'm currently working on an MP3 disc that includes Byrds songs (all taken from the boxed set) and bands that were inspired by the Byrds.

About 4 months ago I had a CD / WMA / MP3 player installed in my vehicle after I swore I would never ever! have one put in LOL!.The store was clearing out the model I had decided to buy so I got it for a VERY GOOD price. I originally had a cassette version of what's going to be on this CD.

3.Diesel Park West - Turn, Turn, Turn

4.XTC - Generals And Majors
I heard Ron play this on one of his Crap From The Past radio shows so I decided to download it.

5.The Byrds- Have You Seen Her Face
6.The Byrds - Lady Friend
7.The Byrds - I Wasn't Born To Follow
8.The Byrds - Kathleen's Song

9.Terry Black - Unless You Care
A song that was hit in Vancouver and (acrossed Canada as well - I believe) in late 1964 early 1965. Terry was at one of our record shows.

10.Gin Blossoms - Learning The Hard Way
A very recent track from the guys. Another I heard on Crap From The Past. Great stuff!

11.Queen - I'm In love With My Car
A leftover from my "Music Of 1975" MP3 disc that I made recently. I did a review on this disc here about a week ago.

12.The Byrds - Just a Season
13.The Byrds - Goin' Back
14.Cosmic Rough Riders- For a Smile
15.The Byrds - She Don't Care About Time
16.The Byrds - She Had a Way

17.INXS - Dirty Vegas
I think I watched about five minutes of the pilot episode of their reality show, and that's all I could take LOL. However this is a very good track!

18.Captain Soul - Looking For Love
19.Badfinger (Joey Molland) - Sweet Tuesday Morning (1994 remake)
20.Small Faces - Green Circles
21.Michael Penn - This and That

8. Joy Division "Isolation"

Post-punk is a good term to describe Joy Division. Also "Dark Wave".

"Isolation" is a really cool tune. "Disorder" is pretty good too..

[Dawn]

Here's what came up in my shuffle - kind of an odd mix:

1. Eldorado Finale - Electric Light Orchestra
2. Love Don't Live Here Anymore - Rose Royce
3. You Belong to Me - Doobie Brothers
4. Wonderful - Brian Wilson
From Brian's Live Performance in London, February 20, 2004
5. Can't Wait Too Long (Rehearsal) - Beach Boys
From the Sea of Tunes Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 19
6. C'mon Marianne - Donny Osmond
One of my guilty pleasures! ;D This is actually a pretty good version; downloaded it about a year or so ago.
7. Walking Back to Waterloo - Bee Gees
8. Gone Long Gone - Chicago
9. Cowboy - Badfinger
Ken's positive reviews of their music inspired me to get several of their albums.
10. Let My Love Open the Door - Pete Townshend
11. Yellow Submarine (Mono Take 5) - The Beatles
From the Revolving boot.
12. Fins - Jimmy Buffett
13. When Will You Be Mine - Average White Band
14. Every Breath You Take - The Police
15. Nights on Broadway - Bee Gees
16. A Cowboy's Work is Never Done - Sonny & Cher
Interesting that two "Cowboy" titles would come up this close together. I hadn't heard this one in quite a while before the shuffle.
17. Rock and Roll Fantasy - Bad Company
18. Funky Pretty - Beach Boys
From a performance at Nassau in 1974.
19. Lucky Man - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
20. Feel Like Makin' Love - Rick Braun
Jazz instrumental cover of Roberta Flack's hit.
21. Now More Than Ever - Chicago
22. Cherish - David Cassidy
Another guilty pleasure, but David has quite a nice voice.
23. Wonderland - The Commodores
24. Evil Ways - Santana
25. The Way I Feel - Fleetwood Mac

[KittyKat - RIP Luciano]

5.The Byrds- Have You Seen Her Face
6.The Byrds - Lady Friend
7.The Byrds - I Wasn't Born To Follow
8.The Byrds - Kathleen's Song

12.The Byrds - Just a Season
13.The Byrds - Goin' Back
15.The Byrds - She Don't Care About Time
16.The Byrds - She Had a Way

Interesting how many Byrds songs came up, Ken.

[KittyKat - RIP Luciano]

1. Slide - Dido
A song off her first album that I forgot existed.
2. Treat Me Right - Pat Benatar
A fave of mine. Had to wait until her last greatest hits collection came out last year to get it on cd.
3. Surrender - Trixter
Cheesy metal at its best. I totally love this power ballad.
4. Never Been To Spain - Three Dog Night
My #1 fave song from TDN.
5. Wild Horses - Natasha Bedingfield
Not a cover of the Stones song. A kind of drippy ballad from a dance-pop English songtress who I really enjoy.
6. Maybe It's You - The Carpenters
Love Karen's voice on this one.
7. Clear The Area - Imogen Heap
Anyone familiar with the band Frou Frou? Probably not...anyway, this lady's the lead singer. Really excellent stuff.
8. Give A Little Respect - Erasure
A classic.
9. Different Kind of Wonderful - Fisher
I totally don't know this song at all. I just listened to it for the first time tonight - so thanks Ed! Anyway, this is not an Itunes free song; I'm guessing that this is something that my friend Sarah downloaded when she was burning cds the other day.
10. Make This Go On Forever - Snow Patrol
This is an Alt-Pop band from Scotland (?) that had a hit last yearish with this song called "Run" which I loved, but when I got the album, hated the rest of the tracks. So a few months ago they released their new album and on some weird whim I bought it on ITunes. It's AWESOME. There isn't a bad track on it.
11. A Song For You - The Carpenters
I've already discussed on The Click how much I love this song. Considering I have 5 different versions of it on my hard drive, I'm surprised more didn't come up "randomly".
12. I Just Wanna Live - Good Charlotte
I typically don't like the boy-teen "rock" emo rocks bands that are over-saturating the airwaves these days. I heard this song at a hockey game last year and immediately liked it enough that I went home to download it (after first asking the 13 year old boy sitting in front of me at the game what the name of the song was) LOL
13. The One That Got Away - Natasha Bedingfield
Unlike the Wild Horses song, this is a ballad that I love.
14. One World - Todd Rundgren & Utopia
15. Fire and Ice - Pat Benatar
16. Close My Eyes Forever - Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne
17. In The Ghetto - Taylor Hicks
I downloaded a bunch of songs from this year's American Idol competition. This is one of them. A nice version of the Elvis classic.
18. No Thang On Me - Snoop Dogg Feat. Bootsy Collins
I guess this is one song I might get some flack for from Clicksters? The Snoop Dogg album that this came off of was actually pretty good - not at all "typical" rap music. This track sounds like old Curtis Mayfield.
19. Sorry - Madonna
One of the hit singles off her latest album. It's good but not nearly the best track off this album.
20. Peace of Me - Natasha Bedingfield
21. Life Support - The Best Of Rent (Original Broadway Cast)
The song sang during the AIDS support group meeting
22. Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
A British Alt Rock band that had a big hit with this song a couple of years ago. Even if you're not familiar with the band or title I bet you've heard a piece of this song - it was everywhere.
23. Open Your Eyes - Snow Patrol
Another great song off their latest effort
24. Someone To Watch Over Me - Katharine McPhee
Another 2006 "American Idol" competition performance mp3
25. Out Here All Night - Damone
Grrrrl Rock at its finest. These guys are like the second coming of The Runaways but much better. I originally got this particular track as a free I-tune of the week, but loved it so much that I bought the whole album.
