had forgotten to add a few thousand songs to the library so another go..

Ennio Morricone: The good the bad and the ugly (main title)
Queens of the stone age: You would know
Dennis walks and mudie´s all stars: Margaret (version)
Serge Gainsbourg: Ford Mustang (mono mix)

Dexter Gordon: Darn that dream

The Springsteen track is crap and you cant even hear the lyrics.. but it´s not an extremely embarrasing playlist over all..

Very very very bored at work with nothing to do (anyone got a spare job going that's interesting?) so will partake in another shuffle, ahem.

Not sure how to do shuffle on an ipod starting at a particular song?

Primal Scream - Come Together (album version)
Neil Young - Don't Cry No Tears
Bob Dylan - Down The Highway
Chemical Brothers - Fuck Up Beats
Jim Ford - I'm Gonna Make You Love Me
Rolling Stones - Shine A Light
DFA 1979 - Going Steady
The Verve - Neon Wilderness
MC5 - Kick Out The Jams
T Model Ford - To The Left To The Right

that should take me into lunch time (home made ham and salad sarnie with mayo and cherry tomatos) quite nicely.

Well, the Job Centre was its usual barrel of laughs. Back to the application forms and interview preparation for Thursday. Think another shuffle might be in order:

Spiritualized - Soul On Fire
Blondie - Island Of Lost Souls
Jesus Jones - Idiot Stare
The Charlatans - Nine Acre Court
Gram Parsons - A Song For You
The Cure - Mint Car (Live in Gurten)
Jack - Kid Stardust
The Swirlpool - When You Sleep (MBV cover)
Prince - I Feel For You
Asha Bhosle & Mohammed Rafi - Chura Liya

Well, that shuffle definitely didn't really do much for me, so I'll try another in a mo. Strangely, my shuffles have been throwing up some of the more bizarre extremes of my music and completely ignoring my mood since I've been starting with Soul On Fire!

I started this thread off back in May last year whilst doing job applications, and since redundancy appears to be ominously looming again and I'm back on the applications during a week off, it seems a good idea to ressurect it.
