Let's share and trade MP3 playlists.

I’ll let the iPod do it for me:
Drive by Savatage
Jangalene by Golden Earring
A Million to One by Helloween
All This Time by Rage (not Rage against the Machine)
Liar by The Poor
Lickin’ the Gun by Bruce Dickinson
The German Sub/to the Nazi Hideout Indiana Jones
Out of My System by Gary Moore
All the Way Home by Spinal Tap
Tourniquet by Evanescence
On a Night Like You by Golden Earring
Trail of Tears by Virgin Steele
Stick it Out by Rush
Springtime by Spinal Tap
Capricorn by Motorhead
Private Investigations by Dire Straits
Lost Johnny By Motorhead
One Bad Habit by Twisted Sister
Pain by Doro
Necrophilia by Savatage

I’m suprised that the two Spinal Tap songs came out since they are both on the same album. This is out of 2579 songs.

I thought I’d revive this one. Out of 4857 songs this is the best iTUNES could do?

Lets Groove - Earth Wind & Fire
Badfish - Sublime
She - Harry Connick, Jr.
Sweet Child O Mind - Guns’N Roses
Pac-Man Fever - Buckner And Garcia
If You Love Somebody - Sting
Don’t Leave Me Now - Pink Floyd
forever man - Eric Clapton
Da Dip - Freak Nasty
Hey Nineteen - Steely Dan
I Want You Back - Jackson Five
Mr. Pitiful - The Commitments
They Don’t Know - Tracey Ullman

Pac Man Fever… I Love it!

I have what I call my “Summer Mix.” It’s a work in progress.

Weezer - Island in the Sun
Gorrilaz - Clint Eastwood
Cake - Mexico
Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me
Phantom Planet - California
Fastball - The Way
Modest Mouse - Float On
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Summertime
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Zephyr

Now, some of them have obvious conenctions with summer (“Summertime”, Island in the Sun) others tie into summer if you know the lyrics (“Pinch Me,” “The Way,”) and others just have that laid-back, summer “feel” to them (“Zephyr”, “Float On.”)

Note that I avoided certain obvious songs, like “Summer of '69,” etc…This is because a) I’ve got a mostly alt-rock theme going here, and classic rock would muck it up, abd b) just because a song mentions summer, doesn’t mean that is “feels” like a summer song. You know what I mean?

Here’s mine…

Hypnotic Underworld: Escaped and Lost down in Medina - The Ghost
Truckers Atlas - Modest Mouse
City of Quartz - Marianne Faithful
Grounds for Divorce - Wolf Parade
The Sequence - Booker T.
When I go deaf - Low
Time out from the world - Goldfrapp
Through Time - Roisin Murphy
Comfort me Sparklehorse
Showbizz - Muse
Everywhere - (A+) Machines
Devil in the Details - Bright Eyes
Waitress - CloudCult
This Weather - Patrick Wolf
The NIght is a blackbird - Augie March
Only this moment - Royksopp
Arise - Mercury Rev
Tigerbastard - Mu
Fistful of Love - Antony & The Johnsons
The medication is wearing off - Eels

:smack:

Leave it to me to nto actually read what the OP wanted…

I use Winamp and though I can play songs randomly, it doesn’t “order” them randomly. I can drag and drop songs to where I want them, but that’s not exactly the same as having the program randomize. In any case, I’m in the early stages of putting together another fake podcast and I’m on 2 different tangents. I’m not sure which one I’ll go with, but what’s on my playlist right now are the songs I’m playing around with. I put songs in Winamp then change them around in the Playlist to see which songs fit together well. When I have a list I’m fairly happy with I put them together as a rough mix in an editing program that does real mixes. I listen to that a few times to see if it works as a whole then I make the show then the web page.

The first songs, up to and including Coldcut, are actually in a rough mix already, in that order, though I’m thinking about replacing a couple of the songs. The rest are random songs in alphabetical order that I haven’t yet figured out how they’ll be put together. Not all of them will make the final cut, and many might be replaced by other songs. There’s enough there for at least 2 “shows.”

Hey, that was a nice sampling. Thank you, i Tunes.

They did that one song “Look Up to the Sky” that I have on my mp3 playlist. Is that what you’re talking about? I like that song.

For movie geeks, it’s the song playing during the rolling credits of the horrible movie “Kalifornia”, featuring Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis.

I don’t think it’s a horrible movie at all. The only reason I went to see it was because Roger Ebert gave it four stars. I don’t always agree with Ebert when he doesn’t like movies, but if he gives something 4 stars I almost always agree, which makes me want to see other things he gives 4 stars to. Kalifornia was one I agreed with. It’s a fascinating movie, though very violent. It’s the first thing I remember seeing Brad Pitt in and bought his creepy, scary character 100%. I’ve always looked at him as a serious actor (as opposed to a pretty boy) because that’s the first thing I saw him in.

This is very similar to the hip-hop rap playlist I was listening to when I had a memorable run in with a little kid in a mall recently.
