The songs from this record have really grown on me over the years. I never feel that I need to listen to the record, but when I hear a song in a shuffle like this, or in the background of a TV show, or on radio, I'm like \"Hey, that album is better than I thought when I first got it!\"\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=veNzHk-ZNEs\">Modern Lovers - Girlfriend<\/a>. By coincidence, I've been keeping a mental list of songs that spell out their title in the chorus (Bay City Rollers \"Saturday Night\", The Cure \"Fire In Cairo\", etc.). And here's another one. My lucky day.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fagy2XSQJyQ\">Bob Dylan - Just Like A Woman (live)<\/a>. This is the acoustic version from the 'Bootleg Series'. Back when he could, and wanted to, sing. Very nice.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H1D6I99GfJo\">The Harbours Band - Koma Mosi<\/a>. It's from the excellent Nigerian 'Highlife' collection. But, instead of the hard, rocking, funky groove that most of the songs on that collection have, this one has a laid-back vibe, sounds almost Caribbean.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b8epyQ5MnFY\">Mos Def - Rock And Roll<\/a>. The iPod only wants to play the first 15 seconds of this. So... I'll just assume the other 5:00 are super awesome and that you're a sap for not buying the album immediately.\n<\/ol>\n<p>Dig it, daddy-o?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shuffle em up!
