Advance apologies for the dishonesty-- this is the first ten random songs on my i_Tunes_.

1. **Poo’kaa** – Olivia Tailfeathers
2. **Headlong Fall** – Daniel Burke
3. **I Feel Pretty** – Westside Story soundtrack (this one really tested my resolve to put up my actual first ten. The gods of humiliation are mocking me. 😉 )
4. **Lovers in a Dangerous Time** – Bruce Cockburn
5. **Sugar Free** – The Mighty Bosstones
6. **The Woods** – Sleater-Kinney
7. **Burgundy Shoes** – Patty Griffin
8. **The Eternal** – Grant-Lee Phillips
9. **I Will Find You (Theme From The Last of the Mohicans)** – Clannad (those humiliation gods apparently feel the need for a parting shot.)
10. **Harvest Home** – Big Country
