Start your music shuffling machines! List the first five song it gives you, and describe them to us!<\/p>\n

I'll go first:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Boys Of The Lough<\/a> - Patsy Campbell. A quick Irish pipe and drum song. My dad periodically mails me LPs that he needs transferred to CD. I always keep copies of all the records I rip - just for the sake of collecting. Some I don't care for, most I like. This one has stayed on my iPod pretty much continuously, for years.\n
  2. DJ Krush - The Kinetics<\/a>. DJ Krush is a Japanese hip-hop DJ \/ turntablist<\/a>. Most of his tracks are instrumental, atmospheric\/ambient, and a little trippy - like this one.\n
  3. Television - Friction<\/a>. This one's a bit more raucous than the rest of the Marquee Moon album - that loud a-melodic guitar grinding over the top of everything else gives the song a bit of an edge that the other songs, IMHO, lack.\n
  4. Sonic Youth - Total Trash<\/a>. A great song from their best record. There's a nice hook, some fun lyrics, a nice long SY feedback break-down in the middle: everything you'd expect from a good SY tune. Makes me think of the winter of 88\/89, and what a happy shock it was to discover this. Up until then, the most deviant stuff I'd heard was REM, The Cure and Metallica. Hearing this was like discovering that my house has an extra floor where gravity works in reverse - why didn't I know about this sooner, and wow... disorienting! \"Slap him on the back \/ with a heavy rock\".\n
  5. Rush - Subdivisions<\/a>. Any escape might to smooth the unattractive truth that the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth. Kindof a cliche, these days: both the song and the band. But, I'll always love Rush - Permanent Waves<\/i> through Signals<\/i>, at least. Be cool or be cast out? Can't cast me out, I was never in.\n<\/ol>\n
