One of my great passions is music. I love it, I can't imagine life without it. And I like seeing what others listen to. There's no better way of getting an idea of what other people listen to than by seeing the results of the Shuffle Game. It's easy to play. Launch iTunes or grab your mp3 player and in a list, list out the first ten songs that come up randomly. The most important rule is NO EDITING out the embarrassing songs that come up. That's half the fun.
Here's mine:
"High" by the Cure
"Hello In There" by Eddie Reader
"Tanz Auf Dem Vulkan" by Nena
"There You Go" by Pink
"Music" by Joss Stone
"Working My Way Back To You" by the Spinners
"Get Off Of My Cloud" by the Rolling Stones
"Letterbox" by They Might Be Giants
"Money Mile" by Alison Moyet
"Tear Stained Letter" by Johnny Cash
What's your list?

NOW, HOW IN BLAZES DO I PUT IN AN ORIGINAL POST AND NOT A REPLY FROM MY TREO?
glad to be here Y for patg
Darling - to post a new post, click "show original post" - and then in the upper right hand of the screen, it should say "Post New Post" or something like that. Good lord, I went to my Facebook page today and I was just enraged - I've been dragged into every gimmick going - what the hell is a "fun" wall? Is it my regular wall? And if I get superpoked one more time, I'm opening a vein - and not my own. Honestly you just know it's some deraged 13 year old boy who sits all day dreaming these things up. It's rediculous in the extreme, darlings, it really is.
Stressed Because Of All That *And* My Car Died - *And* I'm A Single Mother Of Three Now - SOB!!!
