Day three.
- “There Goes My Gun” by The Pixies Live at the BBC

From the “Randomness looks deliberate” department, the Bongwater song “Jimmy” (#12) ends with Ann Magnusen breathily whispering the name “Jimmy.” Then Jimi Hendirx’s “Gypsy Eyes” (#13) started. Eerie.
From the “What does my iTunes like today?” department, it looks like early Bongwater, The Minutemen, and Prince are the big winners today. Three Prince songsg in a row, even!

Been meaning to do this as it sounded like fun. I’m obvioulsy not in tune with the tastes on the board, but here it is anyway.
