A Small Victory

Using a decent music program:

1. Falling for the First Time - Barenaked Ladies
2. A Bit of Earth - Secret Garden
3. Not a Day Goes Bye - Stephen Sondheim
4. Rainy Day Woman (Live) - Bob Dylan & Elvis Costello
5. Stay (acoustic) - Lisa Loeb
6. You Never Even Call Me By My Name - Steve Goodman
7. Fell - Rose Polenzani
8. Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
9. Just A Girl (Live Acoustic) - No Doubt
10. Sit Down - Don Henley

Interesting idea. I got home late so I am still writing down song titles.
Yes I know I could do it otherwise but why cheat.
Not too bad so far but if FreeBird comes up I will scream and you will be able to hear me from the 1600 or so miles away that I am.
Since most of my mp3's are 20 years old or older you probably wouldn't like any of these titles but I will post them on my site whenever I get done.

Funny, we have a 400 disc cd changer that also reads MP3's. It's completely loaded with our studio recorded disks as well as our back up files from our monster computer. We just hit random play and live with whatever "it" decides to play. We call it Raguzak and it's the envy of all our guests. It's even turned into a "Name That Tune" game around here...
When you can hear Sarah Brightman and Laibach within 5 minutes of each other, then you can answer why I'm always in my psycho reality:)

1. Miserlou-Dick Dale
2. Because We Can-Fatboy Slim
3. Bawitdaba-Kid Rock
4. Revolution No. 9-Beatles
5. Vampire Song-Concrete Blonde (Live in Brazil)
6. Don Davis-Matrix Reloaded Suite
7. Spanish Flea-Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass
8. Zion-Fluke
9. Little Bird-Annie Lennox
10. And She Was-Talking Heads

In my defense, Herb Alpert is something I downloaded as background music for a movie I made for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary, but was never used. This should act as a sufficient reminder to all to clean off those Mp3 players. I also share with my husband---Kid Rock and Fatboy Slim are HIS--not mine!

And Joseph---I have that copy of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"---another movie download, only it made the cut.

(1) Reverend Horton Heat -- Psychobilly Freakout
(2) The Blasters -- Love 24 Hours a Day
(3) Dusty Springfield -- Give Me Time
(4) Camper van Beethoven -- Turquoise Jewelry
(5) Wendy Carlos -- Brandenburg 4.1 (Moog)
(6) Ween -- I'm Dancing in the Show Tonight
(7) War -- All Day Music
(8) The Donnas -- Get Outta My Room
(9) Senor Coconut y su Conjunto -- The Man Machine (samba Kraftwerk cover)
(10) Louis Jordan -- What's The Use of Getting Sober? [When You're Gonna Get Drunk Again]

Good call, Mr. Jordan.

• Busy Line, by Rose Murphy (did not even know I HAD this tune; it’s from a gigantic 40s pop-music compilation set)
• My Lover’s Prayer, Otis Redding (Sopranos soundtrack)
• Shooting Star, Les Baxter (swang UltraLounge kitsch-crap)
  *The Pines of the Villa Borghese, Ottorino Resphigi
  *Let’s Live it Up, Brian Setzer Orchestra
• Windsurfer, Ray Orbison
• I Must Have That Man, Julie London (more ultralounge)
• Beaten to the Punch, Elvis Costello
• The Shape I’m in, Johnny Restivo (From a collection of obscure 50s pop records)
• Facing West, Pat Metheny

Ack! Did this over at Vodkapundit (go looky there for my list) but I couldn't help but read through the lists here on Michelle's blog. I find it very frightening that I'm not the only person with Sarah Brightman and Laibach in their collections (you know who you are SondraK!)

If your list can also bring up Muddy Waters tunes, some Kraftwerk and the Dropkick Murphys, we may have been separated at birth!
