What popped up on iTunes while I was reading this thread. A fairly representative for this Falcon Ridge Folk festival-attending fan of [weird and silly](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=429244) folk music.

1. **Syd Barrett** - “Long Gone”
2. **Pink Floyd** - “In the Flesh?” I do listen to non-PF related stuff. Actually I’m not as big a fan of The Wall as I used to be. I used to love it.
3. **The Hold Steady** - “Charlemange in Sweatpants” Nice organ intro.
4. **The Revolving Paint Dream** - “Flowers in the Sky” From the awesome Children of Nuggets box set.
5. **Billy Bragg & Wilco** - “I Guess I Planted” One of the more forgettable songs on the album, IMO. The chorus is kind of catchy though.

[QUOTE=Yookeroo]  
If you’re using iTunes, there’s a “Skip when shuffling” option that you can check. Presumably, iPods will then skip those “songs” too.

Ooh.. I’ll give this a try for my Podcasts, which also get Shuffled in when I play music on Shuffle.
