Wednesday Random Ten (in homage to TBogg)

TBogg, one of my favorite bloggers, does a weekly Random Wednesday thing that I've always enjoyed but have feared doing myself. He sets his iPod to "random play" and writes down the first ten things that his iPod plays. Of course, there is always room for ridicule (who doesn't have something publicly embarrassing on their iPod?), but it is also interesting to see what sets of songs can come up.

I finally decided to try it myself this week, and here is what I got:

Idle (The Rabbit Song) — Hem
Wolf in the Breast — Cocteau Twins
Red Clay Halo — Gillian Welch
How Deep is the Ocean — Bill Evans
How Deep is the Ocean — Lonnie Johnson
Are You Experienced? — Jimi Hendrix
A Promise You Can't Keep — Dwight Yoakam
Regret — Sakamoto Ryuichi
Lover — Red Garland
Try Not To Look So Pretty — Dwight Yoakam

And since TBogg usually adds an eleventh song, just in case:
Adventure Rocket Ship — Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3

Up until the Jimi Hendrix, I figured that this list made me look like a pretty typical modern urban "metrosexual." But I think the Jimi Hendrix probably only cements that image.

Well, it's not a bad list anyway.

Those are all pretty good. I discovered Hem a long time ago. You should, however, add Trespassers William to that list.
