From my iPod (5343 songs):

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 had to go back and listen again, at first pass I thought he was probably playing a bass clarinet but you’re correct it is a bassoon - and very well played

Also adding some selections from Abbey Lincoln
[/QUOTE]
Every time I start my iPod up accidentally I get Abbey Lincoln because she comes first in the alphabet!
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
I think it was very, very mean, **Mr. Merchandise ** (if, indeed that IS your real name) to start this thread on payday. Bastard!
SOS – ABBA
Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven
Barbara Ann – The Beach Boys
Masochism Tango – Tom Lehrer
Heat of the Moment – Asia
Hello, It’s Me – Todd Rundgren
I’m No Angel – The Allman Brothers Band
Folsum Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
Get Up, Stand Up – The Wailers
Home Sweet Home – Motley Crue
2197 songs. My iPod library looks like it was created by someone with multiple personalities.
