I've owned this since high school. Surprisingly still kinda good. 2/4372)Projector, by Philip Glass, from Kundun soundtrack. I never saw the movie. But I like philip glass. Although I read in the Globe and Mail that he's one of the "Wyatting" soundtracks in bars. 3/4372)Girl in a Sportscar, by Alan Hawkshaw, Mo'Hawk - Alan Hawkshaw essentials. Never heard of it, must be Martin's. 4/4372) She's the one, St. Etienne, Foxbase Alpha. Ah electronica... no surprise there. Currently surprised that there has been nothing from Raffi or Sean Paul. Those are the two reasons I don't usually shuffle my ipod. 5/4372)The presidents, the animaniacs, Variety pack. Feeling almost justified in the not shuffling. Except I owned this before I had a child. But I know who rutherford hays was... Oh yeah, and I too have the buffy musical on here somewhere along with everything ever done by depeche mode. cheers!

And I don't *HATE* Lukas Rossi. He was an asshole the couple of times I met him. And thats, what, half a decade ago? Still, nothing I saw on the show showed me he had changed at all... If I did a random sample of CD"s in my case at home, it would be MUCH weirder. I have a lot of mid-late 90's Canadian Indie in there, which I NEVER listen to and really should go sell to free up space. And I also have my "Worst CD EVER" which I keep just because of it's strangeness: "Wayne Gretzky's Greatest Goals". Seriously. The play by play of the 50 most important goals of #99. I bought it for $.99. RE: Buffy Musical Episode: Only musical I like. Ok, wait, I like "Anchors Aweigh" as well. I don't know whether it's because of, or despite, the unintentional homoerotic subtext. Still, Frank and Gene, singin' & dancin'. And of course, "The Sound Of Music" is a classic, although one can get diabetes if one watches it in consecutive years. I've stayed away for a couple now. HAHAHAHA Oh god no!

Broken, even though you were sampling from a much smaller pool, like Andrew, your descriptions are funny enough that the exercise still works. I notice you have a lot of music you used to hate, or that you think you're going to start hating soon. I used to be that way about friends. I would strongly dislike someone, and then 6 months later, we'd be best buds forever. I guess when you feel strongly about something, it can be confusing at first. Given that, and your comments on certain other blogs, I have to wonder... can a Lukas Rossi single be far off for your Rokr? :-)))) Hee hee.

Because the odds of you bringing embarassing cds with you to work are statistically smaller than that of me forgetting I have, say, an Enigma album in my iTunes somewhere, or Irene accidentally treating us to a list of ISU ice dance music and Christmas carols. I'm trying to get Les to play by having him stand in front of his record shelves while I call out random numbers. "Down one cube, 7 records to the right, etc..." I'm hoping we'll fall on something he bought 15 years ago and hates and forgot about. Thanks for playing. Darn that government. It’s true, it is no fair.

Toronto indie shoegazer goodness from the 90's. 2] Ohbijou, "Swift Feet for Troubling Times". Toronto indie pop that is totally rocking my world. Cello's meet wistful songs about love and raccoons. 3] Geinoh Yamashirogumi, "Akira s/t". 2019 Neo-Tokyo is about to E.X.P.L.O.D.E [i have no idea why they acronymed explode] hey, no fair. no fancy-pants players for me; here’s the first three cd’s out of the drawer i grab [i am at work and i cannot download or rip songs because the government thinks its naughty]:

Irene has the Beethoven to match my Rachmaninoff and Sarah and Irene both have a track that reminds them of their parents. Oh goodie! There are connections between our lists so far.

I just liked this song and downloaded it. (royal tanenbaums). I also never thought I would have one cat stevens song on my ipod, but I do. In fact, I have two. 2) Go Go Gadget Gospel (Gnarls Barkley) This song (into, rather) is fun. As are about 2 *MAYBE* 3 other songs on the album. But it's nowhere near as good as The Man would have you believe. Save your money and buy Demon Days instead (gorillaz) if you haven't already. And while you're at it, buy Game Theory (the Roots) cause it's great. 3) Cam Ye o Frae France (Steelye Span) British electro-folk from the 70's. My parents owned the canon in vinyl when I was little. I think that's 97% why I like it. 4) Shake It Off (Mariah Carey) So? So what?? 5) Don't Cry (Guns n Roses) I forgot this was on here! awesome!!! 1) The Wind (Cat Stevens)
