Shoot -- wireless out again, so I wrote this hours ago and only now just ponged it over to the dial-up-compatible old PC we keep around.
Okay, so now we have 16,988 songs on the iTunes. I've thrown on a lot of albums that I intended to chop tracks off of later. I also included lots of tracks that I wouldn't normally think of as anything I really liked, but that I thought would be a nice change-up when they came up randomly amongst everything else.
This morning's Random 10 is what happens when iTunes decides to give you nothing but a bunch of these tracks. Ugh. If there had just been a couple tracks with loud guitars in here, or a real BEAT, it would have made the rest okay, but as it stood?
1. "Damnation's Cellar" - Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet - The Juliet Letters
2. "El Tonto de la Colina" - Robertha - Rato's Nostalgia Collection 21
3. "(All I Can Do Is) Dream You" - Roy Orbison - Mystery Girl
4. "Gonna Give Her All the Love I've Got" - Benny Gordon - Soulin' vol. 4
5. "Taxman" - The Music Machine - Turn On
6. "Everything Right Is Wrong Again" - They Might Be Giants - Then: The Earlier Years
7. "Africa Bamba" - Santana - Supernatural
8. "Prove My Love" - Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
9. "Delicate Cutters" - Throwing Muses - In a Doghouse
10. "There Have Been Bad Moments" - Mike Keneally - Boil That Dust Speck
Again, ugh. I mean, the Music Machine and Violent Femmes tracks kinda rock, but not hard enough to raise the overall lugubriocity level of the run. And when I skipped forward after this to get to something . . . PEPPY . . . the first thing I got was Glenn Miller's "Stardust." Jeez! It took about 20 skips to finally get to something that might help wake me up -- a nice run of The Cramps, Dick Dale, and Southern Culture on the Skids (doing a Link Wray tune).
We're coming up on 60 gigs in the iTunes. When it hits, I start culling. Now I have some good ideas where to start.
