Shuffle!

Stole this from the Onion where they do it to famous people. That's probably the only reason it's interesting, but it's still kinda cool.

The Rules: Queue up every song on your mp3 player and put it on shuffle. Record the first 5 songs that play. NO SKIPPING! Write down your reactions/thoughts like this.

1. Please Don't Go - KC & the Sunshine Band
My junior year of high school we used to play this in the guys dressing room during shows all the time as part of the KC-only mandate that was strictly enforced. It was dedicated to Mike Sherman because it was his last year. I preferred "Keep it Comin' Love," which required everybody to dance at all times when it was playing. It wasn't as gay as it sounds.

2. Can't Let it Go - The Goo Goo Dolls
Are the Goo Goo Dolls an acceptable band for a college-age male to listen to? I've never really understood if they are a chick-rock band like Snow Patrol or the Fray. Johnny Rzeznik has a great voice and they write catchy songs. This is probably my favorite song off this album.

3. Monks Chant/He Is Not Dead Yet - Monty Python's Spamalot
I've actually never seen this show, but I have heard it's hysterical. A couple of years ago I probably could have quoted every line in Holy Grail. I'm probably at about 45% now. Incidentally, the song "Find Your Grail" from this show has some crazy impressive vocals by Sara Ramirez (of Grey's Anatomy) as the Lady of the Lake.

4. Sames and Opposites - Demetri Martin
Man, two somewhat gag tracks in a row. Don't I have any other real music on this thing? Well, at least this a good comedy track. Probably one of the best from Demetri Martin, who is kinda hit-or-miss. Still, I'm not a fan of when comedians play instruments. I don't really like gag songs and that kind of thing. Either tell some jokes or play some tunes. Don't half-ass them both so you can do them at the same time.

5. Supermarkets - Jerry Seinfeld
What the hell!?!? Where is the MUSIC?!?! I don't even listen to these comedy tracks that much! Well, at least it's Seinfeld, and this is one of the best tracks off "I'm Telling You For the Last Time." Say what you will about his observational humor style, he does it better than anyone else. When he talks about drinking milk the day after the expiration date, I always lose it.

Maybe I should try this again another time and limit it to MUSIC ONLY.
