ARmy Rumour SErvice

All been a bit heavy today, so thought I'd contribute a little shuffle I had on the way to work:

My Friends – Red Hot Chili Peppers
When I’m Up – Great Big Sea
U Boat – Kasabian
You Have Placed A Chill in My Heart – Eurythmics
Girls – Prodigy
You Can’t Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want) - Joe Jackson
Burning Hell – REM
Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen
Shipbuilding – Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Happy Man – Seasick Steve

I am still at a loss as to how the shuffle selection works. I have close on 3,000 songs spread over 2-300 albums (assuming an average of around 10 tracks per album) yet same albums keep showing up over & over, sometimes even the same tracks!

I noticed a similar trend. It only seems to be when the shuffle is left to do it's own thing for a while (rather than forwarding through 10 to get the list then going back to listen to them) that the less often heard put in an appearance. There are a few nice ones falling by the way side of the 10 track shuffle road.

There's a load of good stuff on your shuffles, you have some taste anyway I've only been dipping in and out lately (of the thread ), but am enjoying a lot of the stuff posted and looking forward to hearing some new stuff when I get around to downloading it...

Cud - Waving & Drowning
Jonathan Clay - Gipsy Woman
The Style Council - You're The Best Thing
Eric Clapton - Knocking On Heaven's Door
Indigenous - Come On Home
The Prodigy - Girls
Dj Tiesto - Alone In The Dark
Scott Bassham - Seawitch
Catatonia - International Velvet
Strauss: Radetzky March

Well, the first five matched the mood...

Made Of Stone – Stone Roses
Second Guessing (Live At The Olympia, Dublin) – REM
Heatwave – Martha Revves & The Vandellas
Taste It – INXS
Dragula (Hot Rod Herman Remix – Rob Zombie
The Constant Springs – Cornershop
Who Are You – The Who
M.O.R. (Live) – Blur
Girls On Film (Night Version) – Duran Duran
The Heebie Jeebies – The Pasadena Roof Orchestra with The Swing Sisters

Having discovered last night that Amazon vouchers can be used for downloads & that these downloads save into iTunes I decided to use some of my recent birthday present & bought Wide Awake In America (U2 EP) Live At The Olympia (2009 set by REM which had passed me by) and Wrecking Ball (new Bruce Springsteen).

There's a Pogues obsessive's box set going which I was very tempted by, but strangely the physical product, even new, is cheaper than the download...
