From my iPod (5343 songs): 1. Rilo Kiley - The Good That Won’t Come Out 2. Eels - Novocaine For The Soul 3. Violent Femmes - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me 4. Rhymefest - Dynomite (Going Postal) 5. Death From Above 1979 - Sexy Results (MSTRKRFT Edition) 6. Better Than Ezra - Laid 7. Rilo Kiley - Glendora 8. The Beatles - I’ve Got A Feeling 9. They Might Be Giants - Nightgown Of The Sullen Moon 10. The Decemberists - The Engine Driver I have no idea what numbers four or five are, or how I got them. I used to download random crap from those free MP3 blogs, listen to 'em, and toss the trash. Looks like I missed a couple. 😛 Of the ten, the only one I’ve heard in recent memory is number ten from The Decemberists. Edit: Hey, number eleven was a track by Tarkio, a band I was turned on to by someone here. 😃 ---

I won a 4G nano yesterday, and since moving, I’ve yet to locate the DVDs that contain my 60G of ripped CDs. I wanted to play with the nano, so I grabbed a stack of CDs from the box in which they are all packed, and ripped them. So here’s my random list of songs from a set of randomly selected CDs: Sat in Your Lap - Kate Bush We Wanna Boogie - Sonny Burgess All She Wrote - The Silos Wooden Horse (Caspar Hauser’s Song) - Suzanne Vega Riot - Dead Kennedys Just a Gigolo - Thelonious Monk Divine Hammer - The Breeders Playing Your Song - Hole Crazy He Calls Me - Billie Holiday Let’s Take Some Drugs and Drive Around - The Silos ---
