Not The Originator, But Flattered
I’m touched, really. Lauren, over at Feministe has named her “Friday Random Ten” post in my honor today. And I am honored, but I feel I need to correct the notion that I’m the origniator of the Friday Random Tunes meme.
I’m not the originator. I picked it up a while back from Michael, who seems to have picked it up from the now-defunct Just Like a Dream. Who knows where it actually started? I don’t, but I can’t honestly take credit for originating it, though I’m tickled that it apparently became popularized after I did it.
That said, I guess I should do 10 random tunes of my own. For those who wish to play along:
- Fire up the MP3 player.
- Put your whole collection on random play.
- List the first 10 songs that play
-
And mine are:
- You Can Do Magic - Painted Love - The Best of the Cover Versions
- Crazy - Seal - Seal: Best 1991 - 2004
- Abraham, Martin and John - Donovan
- Fly Like An Eagle - Seal - Seal: Best 1991 - 2004
- Sweet Georgia Brown - Alberta Hunter
- Lyin’ Eyes - The Eagles - The Very Best of the Eagles
- Then You’ve Never Been Blue - Ella Fitzgerald - The Intimate Ella
- Travelin’ Light - Chet Baker - Baker’s Holiday
- Who Needs Forever - Thievery Corporation/Gilbreto Gil - Verve Remixed
- When You Were Mine - Prince - The Hits/The B-Sides
