The great playlist meme of '04

Only back 5 minutes, and already playing:Gj

  1. Gigantic - The Pixies
  2. Torn & frayed - The Rolling Stones
  3. Pars - Grace Jones
  4. Pass the peas - The JBs
  5. Ain't got no - I got life - Nina Simone
  6. Wear you to the ball - U Roy
  7. Theme from Shaft - Isaac Heyes
  8. Alladin Sane - David Bowie
  9. Universal Tribulation - Gregorary Isaccs
  10. Got - Mos Def

The instructions (from D2r c/o: D'Arcy Norman) :

  1. Open up the music player on your computer.
  2. Set it to play your entire music collection.
  3. Hit the “shuffle” command.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
