I started this around noon, but then I lost track of a couple of the songs and, in trying to rewind the iPod’s shuffle managed to lose the list of songs that had been played. Oops. But I knew I could pull it up on iTunes when I got home, so you still get the list.

The rules: Set your iPod, music library, cd player on shuffle and share what comes up. No skipping because you’re embarrassed by what you listen to (are there such people?):

1. “This Diamond Ring” — Gary Lewis & the Playboys
2. “I Don’t Have a Wooden Heart” — Joe Dowell
3. “Brand New Key” — Melanie [The first three are all courtesy of Dad’s mix cds…]
4. “Jack and Diane” — John Mellencamp [A sing-along song any and every time in comes on]
5. “If She Wants Me” — Belle & Sebastian
6. “Come Home” — Kris Delmhorst
7. “Life Line” — Nancy & Ann Wilson with the Brian Wilson Band
8. “(You’re) Having My Baby” — The Cast of Glee [But really just Finn, I think…]
9. “Anna (El Negro Zumbon)” — Pink Martini
10. “Instant Karma!” — Paul Weller [I totally thought this was Warren Zevon]

Because I was doing this at work I was a bit distracted and missed what I thought was just one song in the middle there, but it actually ended up being two. This last song was what I believed to be my final song and it just seems unfair not to share it. You understand, I’m sure…

11. “The Lights of Vegas” — Ellis Paul
