I have to go and listen to "Slap & Tickle" now.

Primeval Mudd (formerly Roymondo) Posted Jun 15, 2007
Slap & Tickle's a great song! Alas, we've gone all rock at the moment so the shuffle thing will have to wait until Metallica have finished.
BTW: I nicked this thread idea and started one on the Glastonbury forums, and it's been going great guns! There's been some wonderful stuff turning up.

Say Hello to Heaven - Temple of the Dog
... and then

Gloria - Brian Setzer

Pinniped Posted Apr 1, 2008
Wow. Spooky coincidence. I read broe's post and the song that started (on shuffle) just as I got to the last line was Gloria.
OK, not actually the same Gloria. Mine's the Patti Smith version of the Van Morrison one.
I guess I'd better recall the previous 4. So, last 5 shuffle songs =
Walk on By - Stranglers
Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson
Happy - Travis
Soul Sacrifice - Santana
...and Gloria
(Another coincidence: Santana's there at President Hyp's suggestion/request. Small world)

Malabarista - now with added pony Posted Apr 1, 2008
Hmmm. I just set my computer to random all the time, but now I put it on my largest playlist...
1) "Wheels of Boredom" - The Soundtrack Of Our Lives
2) "All Things Change" - Ralph McTell
3) "Pop Plinn" - Alan Stivell [Breton Folk]
4) "Blessed" - Simon & Garfunkel
5) "Paint Me On Velvet" - Austin Lounge Lizards 
and if we're doing 10, next are:
6) "Olinda Road" - Hapa [from a Putumayo CD]
7) "Stephan Jantzen, 17. Dezember 1873" - Liederjan [a German Folk (*not* Volksmusik) group]
8) "Galway to Graceland" - The McCalmans
9) "Caravan of Love" - a cover version by the Dublinskis
10) "One Step Closer" - U2
Oh, and I skipped over a random track from the Hitchhiker's Guide that somehow found its way in there
