1. Open up the music player on your computer.
2. Set it to play your entire music collection.
3. Hit the “shuffle” command.
4. Tell us the title of the next ten songs that show up (with their musicians), no matter how embarrassing. That’s right, no skipping that Carpenters tune that will totally destroy your hip credibility. It’s time for total musical honesty. You can put the list in the comment thread, or write it up in your blog or journal and then post a link in the comments.
5. If you get the same artist twice, you may skip the second (or third, or etc.) occurances. You don’t have to, but since randomness could mean you end up with a list of ten song with five artists, you can if you’d like.

The Greatest Thing About You
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was heAnd then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return“
Pixies To Reunite For Tour & Album
According to Punk Hardcore, The Pixies are getting back together. This is great news … They don’t have permalinks in the site so here is the full (short) story:
For the first time in over a decade, The Pixies will be reuniting to record a new album and a support tour. Black Francis (now Frank Black) revealed a few months ago that the band still occasionally gets together to jam, but it wasn’t for the public. But, look forward to April when the band will finally bury the hatchet, despite their ugly breakup in 1993. This is quite possibly the biggest surprise of the year.
Thanks to my little bro for pointing this out to me.
Update: Thanks to Google News here is a more complete story.
St. Anger
Back to the roots, that’s how Metallica fans have been refering to the bands newest album: St. Anger. I was expecting this CD to have some kind of copy protection (Lars Ulrich having been one of the front men in the fight against Naptser) but it seems Metallica decided to fight piracy the right way offering a DVD with the CD. That is a good thing as I would never buy it had they decided to protect it.
P2P and Record Label Profits
href="http://news.com.com/2100-1027_3-1000420.html">Swappers buy
music, too | CNET News.com: This is what I have been arguing
about for some time now.
Offering some insight to the recording industry as it
struggles to boost sales online, a survey finds that Web surfers
who download music from song-swap sites are more likely to buy
music online, as well as offline at retailers.
And this is also the reason why I don’t agree with the comment
posted in
post.
If I find something interesting in P2P networks there is a big
chance that I will buy it. If I find out the CD is copy-proteced
and that I can’t listen to it in my computer or car radio then I
will never give money for it.
Portuguese Swing
I’m reposting the only post I lost due to our recent
I’m currently listening to
portuguese Jazz singer to sign for
stuff.

EMI to launch MP3 programme
href="http://www.emigroup.com/news/pr192.html">EMI press
release: These are interesting news. Finally
go on the MP3 bandwagon and are going to start selling music from
3000 artists online.
My hopes are that this will:
- Lower the record prices (a lot).
- Enable consumers to buy on a music per music base instead of
having to buy entire records.
Prices are still to be announced. We can only hope.
Already more than 20 music retail websites from six
different European countries are gearing up to start selling EMIs
new downloads and will go live at varying times over the coming
weeks. Additional retail partners are expected to join the
programme in due course.
