Last year I got back into the blogging game to be sure that I still was hip. After all, ABC declared bloggers people of the year 2004. My most read post in December was the off topic “Best Albums of 2004” list. This warms my heart, because I’m such a list geek.* So when I saw this Playlist Meme in Wikes Joiners blog, I knew I had to have one in my blog as well.
Before I reveal the 10 most recent songs on my iTunes playlist, you must read the “Playlist Meme rules”:
- Open up the music player on your computer.
- Set it to play your entire music collection.
- Hit the "shuffle" command.
- Tell us the title of the next ten songs that show up (with their musicians), no matter how embarrassing. That's right, no skipping that Carpenters tune that will totally destroy your hip credibility. It's time for total musical honesty. Write it up in your blog or journal and link back to at least a couple of the other sites where you saw this.
- If you get the same artist twice, you may skip the second (or third, or etc.) occurrences. You don't have to, but since randomness could mean you end up with a list of ten songs with five artists, you can if you'd like.
My ten most recently played choons are:
- Us 69 – Yesterday’s Folks
- Seu Jorge – Mangueira
- De La Soul ft. MF Doom – Rock Co.Kane Flow
- Mylo – Drop the Pressure (Erol Alkan remix)
- Fat Freddy’s Drop – Hope
- Beans – Death by Sophistication
- A Girl Called Eddy - People Used to Dream
- Roland Brival – Tunji
- Javi P3Z Orquesta – El Pinball
- Bahamadia and The Roots – Wordplay
This is probably the last off topic post for a while. As soon as the regular workdays start on Monday, I’ll return with some more interesting programming related posts. Until then, enjoy the rest of the new year’s weekend. Relive some of the tsunami victims by donating to the Red Cross or another organization. A happy new year to all my readers!
