Meme: Do the shuffle
Robot Johnny (of Drawn! fame) just dropped a meme and I can’t resist. Snip:
“Because it’s a slow day, it’s time to revisit the Shuffle! Everyone play along — mp3 player, random play, first 15 tracks, embarrassment be damned!”
I narrowly missed some embarassing songs, but I’ve been culling iTunes lately, so I was prepared. Here’s my list:
The Beatles - Piggies
Stephen Malkmus - Animal Midnight
Belle & Sebastian - Storytelling
The Kinks - This Man He Weeps Tonight
The Clash - Paul’s Tune
Arcade Fire - Une Annee Sans Lumiere
Lou Barlow - Monkey Begun
Tall Dwarfs - Baby It’s Over
Elton John - My Father’s Gun
David Bowie - Sound And Vision
Tom Waits - A Sweet Little Bullet From A Pretty Blue Gun
Loretta Lynn - Have Mercy on Me
Kermit the Frog & Fozzy Bear - Moving Right Along
Jay-Z + DJ Danger Mouse - Justify My Thug
Giant Drag - yflmd
