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:

1. Fire up the MP3 player.
2. Put your whole collection on random play.
3. List the first 10 songs that play

And mine are:
1. You Can Do Magic – Painted Love – The Best of the Cover Versions
2. Crazy – Seal – Seal: Best 1991 – 2004
3. Abraham, Martin and John – Donovan
4. Fly Like An Eagle – Seal – Seal: Best 1991 – 2004
5. Sweet Georgia Brown – Alberta Hunter
6. Lyin’ Eyes – The Eagles – The Very Best of the Eagles
7. Then You’ve Never Been Blue – Ella Fitzgerald – The Intimate Ella
8. Travelin’ Light – Chet Baker – Baker’s Holiday
9. Who Needs Forever – Thievery Corporation/Gilbreto Gil – Verve Remixed
10. When You Were Mine – Prince – The Hits/The B-Sides
