Howard suggested this idea. Pass it on.

1. Open your MP3 player.
2. Shuffle all the tracks in your library.
3. Leave me a comment reporting the first 10 tracks that show up.
4. Do not skip over that embarrassing song that came up. You must list the first 10 tracks. The only exception is if there’s a repeated artist or album.
5. Post the track/artist/album in your own weblog and encourage others to play this game.

Here goes.

• Raimundo Penaforte’s An Eroica Trio, I. “Astor” / Eroica Trio / Pasión
• “Moorea” / Gipsy Kings / Gipsy Kings
• “And the Angels Sing” / Benny Goodman / Giants of the Big Band Era
• Beethoven’s Sonata No. 6 for Piano and Violin in A major, op. 30, no. 1, II. Adagio molto espressivo / Itzhak Perlman (violin), Vladimir Ashkenazy (piano) / Beethoven: Violin Sonatas Nos. 4, 6 & 8
• “Blue in Green” / Miles Davis / Kind of Blue
• “These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)” / Dave Brubeck Quartet / Jazz at Oberlin
• “Running to Stand Still” / U2 / The Joshua Tree

• “Bloodhounds” / Secret Primper / Closet Drama

Hm! Not too embarrassing. I didn’t even cheat by letting iTunes’s Party Shuffle favor the tracks I like.
