- 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.) occurances. You don’t have to, but since randomness could mean you end up with a list of ten song with five artists, you can if you’d like.
Read on for my results. And then let's have some of yours.... [via TooMuchSexy, Work Life Sleep My Life, Dave's Chalkboard, Cranial Spew]
- As It Is, Plenty (composed and accompanied by Benjamin Britten; performed by Peter Pears)
- Untitled (Dujeous?)
- The Jump (Bobby McFerrin)
- Tonyies! In The Wrong Key (Tony Toni Tone)
- Cloudbust (Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross)
- Stone Planet (Masterminds)
- The Oak and the Ash (The Duke's Men of Yale; arr. by Chanticleer?)
- Chorus: Et Incarnatus est (Bach, Mass in B Minor)
- Pie Jesu (Faure's Requiem)
- Aria (Goldberg Variations)
I tried it a couple times, and this was probably my least favorite set, but hey, those are the rules. Very classical-heavy though. Hmm.
