Lifting this idea from Word magazine and elsewhere no doubt, what are the first five songs that appear when you randomize your iPod?

Here we go:

1) That Certain Female - Charlie Feathers (Kill Bill Vol.1)
2) Mama Mercy (Live) - Joan Armatrading
3) Release The Stars - Rufus Wainwright
4) The Archetypal Man - Judee Sill
5) Warning Sign - Coldplay

Aaarrrrrhhhh. . . number 5!!!

Re: First 5 shuffled songs on your iPod - no cheating.

I'm dreading this. Ok, here goes...

1. Beatles - yellow submarine
2. Diana Krall - 'S wonderful (live)
3. The Brain - Nightmare in Red
4. Elvis Costello - I don't want to go to Chelsea
5. Foo fighters - Gimme Stitches.

Actually, that could have been a lot worse...phew.

Why on earth would anyone want one of those? Lugging the offboard power supply around would make it silly.
