Angelus ,'Damage'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Apparently you only have like twelves songs and one of those is from a Dr. John compilation.
When I hit shuffle on iTunes, it clumps a lot of artists together. I have no idea why. Are there shuffle settings I can, you know, set?
My iPod does much better:
Boliva -- The Blue Wisp Big Band
Part of the Process -- Morcheeba
You Do Something to Me -- Benny Goodman
Once is Enough -- Lyle Lovett
Lucky Ball & Chain -- TMBG
Tell me about the Heavy Blinkers, Sue.
They are a now-defunct (I think) local band that lean toward pretty pop, a la Beach Boys, Burt Bacharach. Their main songwriter is Jason MacIssac, who also does lots of work with a local theatre troupe I know.
ETA: Wikipedia seems to indicate that they are, in fact, still funct.
(Dr. John twice in 5 songs? I think iTunes doesn't shuffle very well.)
I think iTunes has great taste.
Mine has just shuffled to Stevie Wonder. Who always makes me happy. ("If Your Love Cannot Be Moved" FYI)

Naw, mine does that too sometimes. C'mon randomizer! Just pick a chunk of Pi and spin it from there you lazy algorithm.

I dunno - the new iTunes interface confuses me.
I ended up using the iTunes DJ to make my random list.
There was a Wire cover band by that name. Wire hired them to open their concerts and play older Wire songs.
They were hilarious. I saw them at the Paradise. They did all of Pink Flag in sequence with no between song banter. Except that halfway though, one of them approached the mike and announced "Side two." They encored with "Dot Dash" which was, appropriately, the single Wire released between Pink Flag and Chairs Missing.
Anyhoo, my (oddly heavily old-school-punky) first five:
Circulatory System -- Eight
Holly Golightly -- Card Table
Ramones -- Teenage Lobotomy
Buzzcocks -- Love Battery
Razar -- Stamp Out Disco
I'm going another round - this time, with the music on my computer (the first time was from my MP3 player):
The Blizzard Of 78 Featuring Mikey Dread - Silicone On Sapphire (The Sandinista Project)
Herman's Hermits - There's a Kind of Hush
The Gutter Twins - What Jail is Like (cover, live)
James - Alaskan Pipeline (again, one of my favorite songs ever)
Ex Lion Tamer (again!) - In Hope of an Evil Star
Could have been more eclectic.
Going for another round:
Time to be- waltz- The Seatbelts (Cowboy BeBop soundtrack)
Wouldn't it Be Nice- The Beach Boys
Hooray For Love- Ella Fitzgerald
Serana- The Gipsy Kings
The Deal (No Deal)- Chess in Concert
Huh. Interesting.
ION, a cool video: Sweet Frown by My First Earthquake
“Sweet Frown”, the latest music video by My First Earthquake from their first full length album “Downstairs”, features a rockin’ reenactment of Marie Antoinette and her court. The video was made by Jesus Beltran and Zumpango Films.
My First Earthquake will be playing at the Earthquake 20th Anniversary Party this Saturday, October 17th at Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco, along with The Chop and Goodbye Nautilus.
Jesus Beltran
I just read it as Jesus Batman. Not that this board has anything to do with it.
