I must say that I did my own manual shuffle while walking 30-minutes to the gym the other day. I shuffled through cuts from The Stooges's Fun House and Raw Power, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Take It From the Man!.

Stooges make for great gym music.

And power-walking pre-gym music. So do TBJM.

thinking about power walking to some Stooges just made me lol. 
Don't you ever turn it off

I power-walk to Junior Kimbrough sometimes too. I like the trance quality of his blues.

i used to be a shuffle songs guy a long while back until i figured out that i can actually shuffle albums on my 160 GB iPod.  changed me back to an album-only guy -- and i still get the excitement/randomness of not knowing which album comes next.

anyways, for the first time in years, i've gone back to shuffle "songs" just for this exercise.  out of 21,236 songs:

1. Elliott Smith - Wouldn't Mama Be Proud
2. Blur - Tender
3. Songs: Ohia - Easts Heart Divided
4. Wilco - A Magazine Called Sunset
5. Guided by Voices - Please Freeze Me
6. Dinosaur Jr. - Nothin's Goin On
7. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
8. Smog - The Well
9. Mogwai - Christmas Steps
10. The Replacements - Nightclub Jitters

and this being a MMJ board, i was interested to see how far into a song shuffle it would take to get to a MMJ tune.  i quit after getting to 50 with no MMJ popping up.

ok, back to albums!

I listened with the shuffle on for the first time ever.  It told me a lot about myself. Obviously I have a soft spot for guitar driven rock and pretty harmonies. :thumbsup:

1.   MMJ -  Wordless Chorus
2.   MMJ  - I'm Amazed
3.   The Black Keys - Lonely Boy
4.   War on Drugs - Red Eyes
5.   TV on the Radio - Province
6.   Fleet Foxes - Montezuma
7.   Kings of Convenience
8.   War on Drugs - Baby Missiles
9.   Belle and Sebastian - Funny Little Frog
10.   Santigold - Creator
20 times I wish you'd understand...

Magazine called sunset is my favoritest tune ever...not really but my god I love that song.  Also i just feel like piping in...shuffle on my ipod has been a good friend for discovering deep tracks that i over looked while listening to albums.  such as Dark Star by Beck off of The Information...Swingin' by Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers off of Echo.  and quite a few other times in my life i've been truly blessed by my ipod's shuffle.  I would greatly appreciate apple about ten time more if they brought back the classic because i don't want to have a touch or figure out what my next device will be.

oh and i just found out i'm still in the running for the job i thought i didn't get...i still might miss Red Rocks because of priorities.  fucking lame.  i hate life after school  already
Can you keep it simple? Can you let the snare crack? Can you let it move without holding back?
