Sometimes when I put my iPod on to 'shuffle songs' it comes up with a perfect selection to suit my mood.
So I thought it would be interesting to let it take control and post the first five songs it comes up with together with some comments about them. so here goes...
There's No Home For You Here - The White Stripes
Well, that's a great start. I love everything that Jack and Meg have ever done. From the Elephant album.
Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor - Gillian Welch
This reminded me that I have not listened to Gillian for a while. This is from the Soul Journey album and is one of my favourite songs of hers.
Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
An absolute classic right from that first hit on the drums. At times it sounds like it's about to fall apart but somehow it just keeps going. Fantastic. One of the best singles of all time.
Welcome To The Working Week - Elvis Costello
Side one, track one (in old money) from the first Elvis album. I still play this one a lot. It sounds fresh to my ears even after all these years.
An Harangue - Art & Language and Red Crayola
From a recent purchase (Rough Trade Shops Counter Culture 76) and one I'm not that familiar with yet. I don't know what I think of this one just yet.
Well that wasn't too bad.
I invite you to do the same, put your iPod on 'shuffle songs' (or your iTunes on 'Party Shuffle') and tell us what the first five songs are. No cheating!
