Random Shuffle Blahfuck

Here's another 11 songs random and... you'll see.

1. Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out) :: This song is sooo cool. The video is the best part. The song is this slow, kinda sad enrapturing song. Really melodic, strings etc. The video is B&W Slow Motion experimentation that just looks bad ass. Dload it!
[[ Self Audit: 9 ]]

2. Linkin Park - My :: K, I don't really like this song. This is the remix of "My December" featured on Reanimation. For the most part, I like these remixes, especially the ones with new verses. But this slow sad song, they basically just sped it up and the original is much better.
[[ Self Audit: 5 ]]

3. Linkin Park - Faint :: I love this song. One of my favorite off of Meteora. Same ole' self-depricating lyrics as most of their songs are, but it features neat strings and... I dunno. I love Linkin Park. Sucks that that's two songs from them already :( .
[[ Self Audit: 8 ]]

4. Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence :: The song is longer than the title, at 14 mins. I think this was in my last shuffle 10. I love this song because it features a ton of time changes or something that is common to Progressive. BG is just a bad-ass nerdy Progressive Power Metal / Melodic/Harmonic Metal or whatever genres are today. I think it is a Greek Legend. Sweet song.
[[ Self Audit: 9 ]]

5. 30 Seconds to Mars - Capricorn (A Brand New Name) :: You all know that I am attracted to the lead singer of this band, Jared Leto. This video is fuckin awesome, as is the live version. I can watch this video over and over, trying to figure out what it means. I think it's really break-through. And the song is just really dynamic and catchy. Sweet.
[[ Self Audit: 8 ]]

6. Blind Guardian - Under the Ice :: OK. There are a lot of repeats because I recently reinstalled iTunes and all my Play Counts got erased. Anyways, good BG song. Not amazing, but all of BG is amazing.
[[ Self Audit: 6 ]]

7. Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home :: Fucking awesome song. Fucking awesome video. Fucking awesome album (Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness); really progressive. The intro to this song is like, a minute. Very nice.
[[ Self Audit: 8 ]]

8. Coheed and Cambria - The Lying Lies & Dirty Secrets of Miss Erica Court :: I won't lie. I don't know this song at all. It's in my most played because I love the album, but its a really connected and flowing album, and I don't know the individual songs.
[[ Self Audit: 6 ]]

9. Alien Ant Farm - Glow :: Cute song. Gets old I guess. But I like it. I wanna be the "fuse that she blows." That would be sweet.
[[ Self Audit: 6 ]]

10. The Killers - Mr. Brightside :: Awesome song. Hasn't gotten old yet. I love the story. Ridiculous. So that's all for that.
[[ Self Audit: 7 ]]

11. B-52's - Love Shack :: Holy shit California! I love this song. This is Mike and my song if we ever get married. Too much homoerotica on my blog. Hmm... Anyways this song will never get old and I will never sing it quietly.
[[ Self Audit: 8 ]]

The grand total: 7.27 = 7.3 That's not bad. But iTunes skews it up by playing, even in shuffle, songs with more plays. Eh. reply with a random fuckafuck whatever.

Dude, too much homoerotica in the room. Let's tone it down a bit, please. I mean, I didn't know you liked boys when I agreed to be your roommate so...

Random Music

This is a suggestion by Ianovich. I am letting iTunes run through my 5 Star music (75 songs) and writing up on the first 10 songs, randomly selected.

Something Corporate - I Woke Up in a Car :: I love this song. Very catchy and it makes me think. I love the lines like "I've never been so lost/I've never felt so much at home." Are these two conflicting feelings felt at the same time or is home a lost-sort-of feeling?

Boom Boom Satellites - Dive for You :: This is a song off of the Appleseed Soundtrack (relatively good movie with an interesting soundtrack). It is techno, so there isn't much to say. Enjoyable. Lyrics.

Linkin Park - PPr:kut :: This remix of Papercut off of the Reanimation album is one of the best remixes featured. I loved the original off of Hybrid Theory and the remix is better, featuring new lyrics.

Saosin - Seven Years :: Haha. It looks like I rigged this list. But I guess there is a 1in10 chance of hitting each song. Amazing hardcore (?) or screamo song. Saosin is amazing also but have very few songs out.

Jay-Z - Dirt Off Your Shoulder :: I am not a fanatic of Jay-Z, but this song is fun and slow enough for me to sing along (by myself...). Enjoyable and there are mixes with Weezer and Linkin Park available.

No Doubt - Sixteen :: One of the best songs off Tragic Kingdom. That whole album was actually amazing. This song is one of the heaviest as well. It's a fun one.

M83 - Unrecorded :: This song is off the Night Watch Trailer. I have never heard of the group before but it seems to be indie ambient/techno stuff. Really awesome mix of techno with strings. I imagine they are Russian.

The Used - Blue and Yellow :: Good Used song. Not too much to say. Fun to sing with. Probably meaningful.

weerd science - fuck you and your filthy a&r dept :: Good weird song by weerd science. It's rapped (?) really fast by the drummer of Coheed and Cambria. Very fun vulgar song.

Less Than Jake - Al's War :: The best song by Less Than Jake. I love this song cuz it's one of those upbeat sad songs. I think Al died or something. Not sure. Good song.

You are welcome to comment with a list of 10 random songs.

jason mraz - the remedy -- he is the king of audible words. the song has pretty good motivational lyrics.

no doubt - new -- this comes from a good movie. and it's a very catchy song.

weezer - only in dreams -- this was like the anthem of any guy in early high school that chased after a girl he couldn't have.

oasis - wonderwall -- i remember hearing this when i was a kid and loving it.

the ataris - the boys of summer -- this song makes me pretty sad because it reminds me of the summer before i went to boston for college. and stuff.

goo goo dolls - iris -- this is just an amazing song. it's a pretty damn good song to play for a girl too.

foo fighers - everlong -- "and i wonder when i sing along with you, if anything could ever feel this real forever, if anything could ever be this good again..."

counting crows - mr. jones -- this will remind me of the last school year, but the actual song has a good story behind it.

fuel - shimmer -- this song has amazing lyrics, a great break in the beginning and reminds me of a lot of times during life.

incubus - the warmth -- there's just something about this song. it'll bring you up from the worst of times.

Friday Random Ten Yay! With Bonus Coolness Self-Audit

Sublime-"Saw Red" In my opinion one of the better songs by Sublime. 7/10

The Ramones-"Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" Surprisingly upbeat for the Ramones 5/10

The Ramones-"I Just Want to Have Something to Do" Oh man, repeat artist, not cool. Automatically deduct one point. 5/10

The Ramones-"Howling at the Moon" I knew switching to iTunes was a mistake. Three Ramones in a row? Not a great song either. 3/10

NOFX-"The Cause" Great band, not their best song. But is NOFX cool? I doubt it. 4/10

Toy Dolls-"Park Lane Punchup" Very nerdy band. I don't think they're uncool enough to be cool though. Plus all their songs are about British culture. At least it's about beating up people at a disco. 4/10

Aaron Copland-"Billy the Kid Suite: Street in a Frontier Town" This probably exists off the continuum of coolness. N/A

Toy Dolls-"Idle Gossip" iTunes clearly has a long-festering hatred for me. 3/10

Bob Marley-"Get Up, Stand Up" Standard Bob Marley score. 6/10

Rancid-"Avenues and Alleyways" Rancid, one of the classic punk rock bands performing a perfectly serviceable song. 7/10

Final score: 4.3 Man, I am one uncool dude. Maybe next week.
