hitting the shuffle button

Whenever one is doing something that's time-consuming and thought-provoking, it's important to have the correct music, right? It's important enough to warrant spending, um, more time than one should the night before one's moot court brief is due?

Borrowing from John Scalzi, I selected my entire iTunes library and set it to random shuffle. Here are the first two iterations at this game, which I'm finding endlessly amusing in face of my imminent brief deadline.

Round 1

1. New York, New York - Frank Sinatra

2. Speechless - Kruder & Dorfmeister

3. Page One - Lemon Jelly

4. Du Hast - Rammstein

5. Roads - Portishead

6. Mr. Man (Duet with Jimmy Cozier) - Alicia Keys

7. Whispering Hills - Ottmar Liebert

8. War of Man - Neil Young

9. E Chiove - Andrea Bocelli

10. You Better Go Now - Billie Holiday

Round 2

1. So Danco Amor (Stan Getz & Joan Gilberto)

2. Goudod/Bach: Ave Maria - Yoyo Ma & Bobby McFerrin

3. Mysterons - Portishead (a repeat player!)

4. (Da Le) Yaleo - Santana

5. La Isla Bonita - Madonna

6. Lucid - I Can't Help Myself - Remix by Moose PF Project

7. Wasted Time (The Reprise) - The Eagles

8. Hide & Seek - Kruder & Dorfmeister (another repeat player!)

9. Three to Get Ready - Dave Brubeck Quartet

10. Five Foot Two - my Dad, playing jazz on the piano.

I must stop now. Really.

It's fun, huh? And addictive... I've been tempted to make more, but I probably have enough here:

Wow, I like your taste in music, which is heavy on jazz and the classics. Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto are I think one of the best collaborations in music ever.

The Getz/Gilberto CD is probably one of my top five favorites. I'm glad you like it too. I didn't get any classical music into my random pick, but as I have more jazz, I suppose that makes sense.

Cherie, this IS fun. I loved your list. :)
