Twenty Songs
So I have seen on several blogs now an interesting exercise (with some variations): put your MP3 player on shuffle, and list the first 20 songs. Here are mine, from my "general music" list, which excludes holiday music (mostly Samhain/Halloween and Yule/Christmas), spoken word works, comedy and the like, but still manages to contain 4842 songs:
- They Dance Alone (Gueca Solo) - Sting
- From The Inside (acoustic) - Def Leppard
- Brainscan - HooDoo Gurus
- Tears - Rush
- Don't Hide Your Love - The Rembrandts
- Miss America - Styx
- Interstate Love Song (live) - Stone Temple Pilots
- Magical Wave - Kitaro
- The Only One I Know - The Charlatans, UK
- Sadeness, find love, sadeness (reprise) - Enigma
- Come a Little Bit Closer - Fleetwood Mac
- I'm no Angel - Dido
- Pacha Mama - Mike Oldfield
- Kommotion - Duane Eddy
- Metaphor on the Floor - Art of Noise
- As the Sun Sets over London - Jools Holland
- Your Haunted Head - Concrete Blonde
- Kiss of Spring - Bel Canto
- Kick - INXS
- Constant Craving - k.d. lang
Actually, this is fairly representative of my collection. No metal, no blues and no folk; but other than that representative. I didn't really expect that, given that it's such a small proportion of the overall collection.

So is there any point in this, or is it just the fun of it?
Point? Next thing, you'll be asking for reason, logic and consistency. Bah! I scoff at your idea of "point"! Bah!
Um, I mean, no, no point. Just for kicks.
