In the digital age with a culture of download first / listen later and the language of music becoming increasingly more pervasive and complex we accumulate a sheer mass of music with each single and album indicating something about us, however disposable, however credible.
These are mini mix tapes which seem to say so much without being awarded the careful thought and loving attention the ones we so carefully construct do. I’m romanticizing here but I’m in love with the random feature, despite its misgivings which have been pointed out above. I love the occasional hideous but ever so interesting sound clash of songs that winamp juxtaposes for us, the songs we have but hate, make us cringe; remind us of when things were different for us.
I confess I don’t know all the music on my computer as well as I should and in many ways I’m just a hoarder of compressed audio data but I love that data and I do feel it means something, especially when the music is placed in a new context. Sorry for being pretentious. Here's my lastest ten:
01. ex models - orbital and nuclear02. dj shadow - six days (soulwax remix)03. kaada - burden04. lone pigeon - rainbow05. matmos - the stars and stripes forever06. john cage - solo for voice 6707. wideboys - stand and deliver (4x4 vocal mix)08. savath and savalas - binoculars09. alastair roberts - come, my darling polly10. break machine - let your body move

I've found that albums I intially greeted with a shrug have snook up on me via the random playlist. For years I regarded the uninterrupted flow of the album tracklist as not to be screwed with, but over the last 4 years or so listening to full albums is something I've done less and less. Perhaps this mirrors the consumption of music before the mid-60s, when singles were the main method of consumption. Anyways, everything sounds different when it's rubbing up against everything else.
Tonight's latest:1. Camera Obscura - Teenager2. Paul Simon - Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard3. The Auteurs - Land Lovers4. Raekwon - Ice Cream Pt. 25. Bounty Killer - Bullz of Chicago6. Smog - Cold Blooded Old Times7. Gotan Project - Epoca8.

Apparently iTunes decided to make me look like a tool. Has anyone else noticed that, even if you have thousands of songs, it always plays the same, like, 40 when you put in on suffle?

Yeah, Kim Mitchell's an institution. search 'Rock and Roll Duty' and Max Webster(his old band)'s 'Paradise Skies'. 'I Am A Wild Party' is worth finding too, if just for the weird chorus.
