Shuffle 20 Songs

[Zapp Brannigan]

I always liked to do this. Basically a way to take the control out of your hands and listen to as much of your library as possible. All you have to do is open up your media player, put it on shuffle, and hit play. Maybe to make it a bit more interesting, write something cool you took out of the playlist. I'll start.

1. Widespread Panic - "Get Up Early In The Morning" - 1993-11-11-Roxy Theatre - Atlanta, GA
2. Rufus Wainwright - "Leaving For Paris No. 2" - Release The Stars
3. Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band - "Natural Art" - 2007-05-12 - Ziggy's - Winston Salem, NC
4. Ice-T - "Prepared To Die" - O.G. Original Gangster
5. Aesop Rock - "Keep Off The Lawn" - None Shall Pass
6. Marina & The Diamonds - "Obsessions" - The Family Jewels
7. Bob Dylan - "House Of The Risin' Sun" - Bob Dylan
8. Placebo - "Peeping Tom" - Black Market Music
9. Minutemen - "Colors" - What Makes A Man Start Fires?
10. Public Image Limited - "Attack" - First Issue
11. Lotus - "Did Fatt" - 2006-02-17 - Mr. Smalls Theatre - Pittsburgh, PA
12. New Order - "World" - Republic
13. Hype Williams - "Jah" - One Nation
14. Herbie Hancock - "One Finger Snap" - Empyrean Isles
15. Broadcast - "Until Then" - The Noise Made By People
16. Pantha Du Prince - "Steiner Im Flug" - This Bliss
17. Pretty Lights - "An Empty Station" - Taking Up Your Precious Time
18. Shackleton - "Visontele" - Fabric 55: Shackleton
19. Lighting Bolt - "Assassins" - Wonderful Rainbow
20. Dr. Dog - "The Breeze" - Fate

The Ice-T > Aesop Rock was pretty seamless and awesome. "Prepared To Die" is a short a capella freestyle(?) that builds and builds until the Aesop hits.

I'm pretty sure half of these 20 is music recommended to me by Inforooers. I loved the Minutemen > PIL.

That was my first time hearing Shackleton, and I guess that track was some sort of interlude but it sounded really interesting. I definitely need to check that out.

Lastly, it is way too late for Lighting Bolt, but Dr. Dog was there for the finale.

1. I started off with John Beaver and Thomas Radman's Coachella 2010 mix. ;D It's great but it's over a hour long. I skipped ahead..
2. Suzanne - Leonard Cohen
3. Circle of Tyrants - Opeth
4. Like Herod - Mogwai
5. Madame George - Van Morrison
6. Silvia - Marissa Nadler
7. Broken - Gorillaz
8. Johnny Thunder - The Kinks
9. This Cold - John Frusciante
10. First Breath After a Coma - Explosions in the Sky
11. We Care - MGMT
12. Such Great Heights - Ben Gibbard live in Chicago
13. Lion in a Coma - Animal Collective
14. Act Nice and Gentle - The Black Keys
15. Ponytail - Panda Bear
16. Don't Hold Me Close - Spiritualized
17. Timshel/Nothing is Written - Mumford & Sons, Roo 2010
18. Redford ( For Yia -yia and Pappou) - Sufjan Stevens
19. The Ghost Inside - Broken Bells
20. Gorgeous - Kanye West

This was a pretty shocking list for me. It flowed well and I enjoyed it.

What's interesting is this list is loaded with bands I was introduced to by you guys. I don't know a damn thing about Mogwai or Opeth. NoD helped me get into Panda Bear and Animal Collective. Garageland turned me on to Spritualized. Hummingbird made me into a diehard Sufjan fan.

I guess you could say my list is a testament to spending your time hanging out with kindred souls. ;D

Glad you made this tread, Zapp!

What I learned from doing this: I have a lot of old music I don't lsiten to anymore. Haven't listen to Taking Back Sunday in years.

But I will say the Johnny Mathis song did add a certain flair to the mix, haha.

Thanks for reminding me of Shackleton, pretty sure I recommended it to you months ago but haven't listened in a few months.
