Start thine musick shuffling device. Describe unto us the first five songs which play!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ZZ Top - Have You Heard<\/a>. Some Monday mornings, I start my iPod but forget to hit Shuffle. And when that happens, the song is always A.C. Newman's \"Miracle Drug\" (first song, off the first album, by the first artist). I did that today. And if iTunes' band name sorting algorithm put numbers before letters instead of after, this one would be the last song in my music collection (last song, last album, last artist). But, it doesn't sort that way; 10 ft Ganja Plant comes after ZZ Top. So... cool story, bro.\n
  2. Ramones - Cretin Hop<\/a>. A completely typical fast, dumb, three-chord Ramones song. I like it much more than some of the other stuff on the album - the stuff the Ramones are justifiably not known for.\n
  3. CSN - Pre-Road Downs<\/a>. On an album with so many great songs, this one doesn't always grab my attention. But on its own, on a sleepy Monday AM, it holds up a little better. And \"be sure to hide the roaches\" seems subversive, even today.\n
  4. Vetiver - Everyday<\/a>. I saw these guys open for The Shins, many years ago. They didn't do much for me at the time, but I've grown to like them. It's that neo- psychedelic folky chamber-pop that bands like Rouge Wave and The Shins used to do. Not a bad little song. Neat idea for the video.\n
  5. U2 - Two Hearts Beat As One<\/a>. Back when War came out, this was my favorite U2 song. I dig Clayton's bass line, and the Edge's spiky and minimally-used guitar is always a good time.\n<\/ol>\n
