Since all the cool kids are doing it, the results of hitting “party shuffle” on my music library:
1. Always on My Mind – Phantom Planet
2. Novette Number 1 in D Flat (Movement 3) – Moondog
3. Reformat – Les Savy Fav
4. Pass Me By – Pete Yorn
5. Friendship Station – Le Tigre
6. Won – The Beta Band
7. Take the L Train – Brooklyn Funk Essentials
8. The Spiderbite Song – The Flaming Lips
9. Bassa selim lebe lange (Abduction from the Seraglio, Act III) – W.A. Mozart
10. Tongue – R.E.M.
I can never actually use party shuffle, though, since the entire Ring Cycle’s in the library, making it a near statistical certainty that over the course of a couple hours of play you’ll get a teutonic basso profundo sandwiched between floppy-haired rockers. Tends to kill the party mood.
