From the iPod, currently at 21,132 songs, and with almost no space left in it, so I can't add anything until Hamlet is over -- I have several sound beds for scenes of the show on here, so things like 15 minutes of wind (repeated several times) are taking up space.

I hope none of those sound effects come up now . . .


1. "Truck On (Tyke)" - T.Rex - History of T.Rex—The Singles Collection

Pure pop for then people.


2. "The Wedge" - Dick Dale - Rato's Nostalgia Collection 1

Also Pure, as well as Ur, as well as Surf.


3. "Exakt Neutral" - Stereo Total - Music Automatique

Too new to be New Wave, but the next best thing.


4. "Damnation's Cellar" - Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet - The Juliet Letters

Yup, I can imagine Berit's comment, if she were awake: AH! Yet another cheery song from Elvis! What person does he want dead in this one?" Um, all of them -- well, at least he wants the ones who already are to stay there.


5. "What in the World" - David Bowie - Low

iPod seems to be trying to cheer me up this morning with songs that make me feel happy-peppy. Thanks, iPod! Not really a happy song, this, but it makes me cheery.


6. "Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight" The Kinks - Kinda Kinks

Good, but could have been generated by the Kinks Pop Song Creator 2000.


7. "Hyena Stomp" - Jelly Roll Morton - Birth Of The Hot: The Classic Chicago "Red Hot Peppers" Sessions

Okay, the iPod is seriously trying to cheer me up, not only by playing Jelly Roll Morton, but by playing a happy one where he laughs through half of it.

I know it's random, but sometimes there seems to be a theme to what comes out. [livejournal.com profile] toddalcott has noted that sometimes his iPod gets drunk and sad and will play nothing but Leonard Cohen for hours unless he stops it.


8. "Un Grand Bond Pour L'Humanite" - Etienne Charry - 36 Erreurs

The aural equivalent of the happy parts of a Michel Gondry movie - appropriately, as Gondry used to play drums for Charry. More cheer, more cheer.


9. "Unchained" - Johnny Cash - American II: Unchained

Again, not actually happy, but makes my heart light. I acquired a GREAT DEAL of Cash recently, more than I'll ever need, and I'm getting rid of much of the sillier dross, but there's STILL so much good stuff to keep. We keep getting ones we've never heard before on random in the car and enjoying them. Damn, he was something.


10. "I Love You Mary Jane" - Cypress Hill/Sonic Youth - Judgment Night

An interesting rock/hip-hop collaboration. Nice, actually works.


and yes I said yes I will Yes
