Shuffle On the MuffyPod: Hectic Random Work-Mix for a Friday

I spent all Friday with my headphones clamped on, madly typing essential documentation that all came through at the very last minute. So what did the MuffyPod play for me?

1. I Don't Know What To Do With My Heart (Ruthie Foster)
2. Gloria (Laura Branigan)
3. Amnesia (Stan Ridgway)
4. The Butcher (The Residents)
5. We March (Prince)
6. A Triple Moon Salute (The Legendary Pink Dots)
7. One Beautiful Evening - Live (Laurie Anderson)
8. Baby Baba Boogie (Gap Band)
9. Bingo-Master's Break Out! - Live (The Fall)
10. Sex on the Flag (K.M.F.D.M.)

This really runs the gamut: funk, R&B, pop, art-rock, punk, and industrial. I think my iPod was as stressed out as I was.

Shuffle On the MuffyPod: July 4th

1. La Valse d'Eugénie (Men Without Hats)
2. A Message (Coldplay)
3. Speak My Language (Laurie Anderson)
4. Ricky (Butthole Surfers)
5. Black Milk (Massive Attack)
6. Under Water (Gerald Kukulenz)
7. Home (Public Image Ltd.)
8. It Will Be Good - S.t.e.r.n Remix (Dana International)
9. Bertie (Kate Bush)
10. SlaaplieDJe (The Legendary Pink Dots)
    

Shuffle On the MuffyPod

Here's the shuffle from yesterday, June 27'07:

1. Super Charger Heaven (Adults Only Mix) -- White Zombie. Great music to work to. You can't understand what he's saying, so Rob Zombie's lyrics don't magically end up in my documentation.
2. Bedroom Shrine -- Marc Almond. More on Marc soon.
3. Music for My Mother -- Funkadelic. Stoned man does harmonica solo, and it's sublime.
4. Twilight Zone -- Golden Earring.
5. Put Me On Top -- Aimee Mann.
6. Kuu Kuu -- Nits. There's a lot of Nits on my iPod.
7. Playing Canasta -- Kate Bush. One of her lesser early piano demos.
8. Blood Money -- Nitzer Ebb.
9. No Purpose No Design -- Meat Beat Manifesto.
10. Flashdance...What a Feeling -- Irene Cara. Often the happy songs are the most welcome!
    

Shuffle On the MuffyPod

Everybody (and I mean everybody) is posting the first ten songs that show up during a random shuffle on their iPod, so I thought I'd better too:

1. Bobby Solo -- Nits
2. Danger Zone (Live) -- Nash the Slash
3. Angel in Her Kiss -- Marc Almond
4. For Tomorrow's Sorrows -- Toni Halliday
5. I Need a Man -- Grace Jones
6. Pimpf -- Depeche Mode
7. The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill -- The Beatles
8. When You're Smiling -- Tones On Tail
9. I'll Take Your Man -- Salt n' Pepper
10. Be Like Me -- MDFMK

Caveat #1: If some of these seem like strange selections ("Pimpf?"), that's because I take an AOR approach to my iPod. I try to dump the whole album on there and only remove the REALLY bad songs.

Caveat #2: I didn't actually LISTEN to these songs. I'm still plodding through those Neil Young albums, which can make for either a really good or a really annoying workday.
