For a while I’ve been suspicious that my mp3 playing phone is eschewing the supposed random nature of the shuffle mode I normally keep it on and, instead, has favourites that it insists on me listening to. I don’t mind it too much, but there’s hundreds of songs on there that I just don’t get to hear anywhere near as often as some. It’s like letting your car passenger have control over the music, constantly skipping the songs you like but they don’t. And it’s mildly annoying.
So, this week I’ve been taking control and running through the whole library alphabetically by song. Got to the G’s today, and this afternoon’s selection has been absolutely splendid:
Gifted – Found
Get Down – Gilbert O’Sillivan
Gin Soaked Boy – Tom Waits
Ginger Beer – Isa And The Filthy Tongues
Give Judy My Notice – Ben Folds
Give Me Kindness – David Coverdale
Go Square Go – Glasvegas
Go-Go-Girls – Frightened Rabbit
Going Native – Mother & The Addicts
Golden Teeth And Silver Medals – A Camp
Lovely stuff.
Geraldine – Glasvegas
Get The Message – Electronic
Good To Your Earhole – Funkadelic
… wait a minute… Gilbert O’Sullivan?!
Now there’s a name you don’t hear too often nowadays.
