Since all the cool kids are doing it, the results of hitting “party shuffle” on my music library:
1. Always on My Mind - Phantom Planet
2. Novette Number 1 in D Flat (Movement 3) - Moondog
3. Reformat - Les Savy Fav
4. Pass Me By - Pete Yorn
5. Friendship Station - Le Tigre
6. Won - The Beta Band
7. Take the L Train - Brooklyn Funk Essentials
8. The Spiderbite Song - The Flaming Lips
9. Bassa selim lebe lange (Abduction from the Seraglio, Act III) - W.A. Mozart
10. Tongue - R.E.M.
I can never actually use party shuffle, though, since the entire Ring Cycle’s in the library, making it a near statistical certainty that over the course of a couple hours of play you’ll get a teutonic basso profundo sandwiched between floppy-haired rockers. Tends to kill the party mood.
