Special dilemma edition:
\nBest way to orient two monitors: landscape or portrait?<\/p>\n

Once you've answered that, start your music shuffler, list the first five songs and describe them!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Beatles - Tell Me What You See<\/a>. An OK number from \"Help!\". Kindof sing-song, a little lyrically meh<\/em>.\n
  2. Dizzy Gillespie & Stan Getz<\/a> - Impromptu. The first three minutes of this uptempo number feature neither minutes Gillespie nor Getz; piano and guitar run the show. But, eventually, Getz shows up with a long and exuberant run, and Gillespie comes in with his own at minute 5. Gillespie, Getz and the guitar player close it out with 90 seconds of intertwining solos.\n
  3. Nick Drake - Hanging On A Star<\/a>. A nice Pink Moon<\/i>-style tune, vox + guitar. It's one of the last songs he recorded, for an album he never finished in '74. It's from the mostly excellent Time Of No Reply<\/i> outtakes and alternates CD, put out in 1986.\n
  4. Big Black - Pigeon Kill<\/a> (live). This sounds pretty much identical to any number of other Big Black songs. Rocks pretty damned hard, though - even if it is about killing a bird.\n
  5. Broken Social Scene - Handjobs For The Holidays<\/a>. That title sets the bar pretty high. Does the song itself measure up? I don't think so. Not quite. It bops along at a nice clip, but without a hook of any kind. There's a lot of stuff going on, too much, maybe. The lyrics are mumbly, and, I couldn't tell if they had anything to do with the title.\n<\/ol>\n
