TVD's Weekend Shots...and a new Friday feature:

SHUFFLE BORED.
It's a five Mp3 walk from TVD Home Base to TVD nine-to-fiver -- quite fortunate we are. That said and despite the best of efforts, the iPod's been reduced to a 'Name That Tune' which occurs at merely one or two simple notes in. See, we know 'em all.

Sooo - welcome our new Friday feature. That morning's five will get slapped up on the blog -- then we wanna hear your iPod's five random, shuffled selections to spread the wealth and/or the Mp3's. Feel free to just list them, or if you want to supply a link in the comments section, by all means go for it. Expand our shuffled horizons.

These first ten suffice as your Weekend Shots and serve as a random example of well, randomness.

Joe Jackson - King Pleasure Time...brand new track! (Mp3)
Friends Again - Moon 3 (Mp3)
The Babys - True Love True Confession (Live) (Mp3)
The Replacements - Swingin' Party (Mp3)
Grant Lee Buffalo - Rock Of Ages (Mp3)
The Clientele - Somebody Changed (Mp3)
Eric Matthews - Pair Of Cherry (Mp3)
Gene Simmons - Mr. Make Believe (Mp3)
FGTH - San Jose (Mp3)
Band Aid - Feed The World (Mp3)

Those are some good selections. I would love to belt out 'San Jose' on my way to work, and I just listened to 'Somebody Changed' not an hour ago. Excellent runner-up to 'Bookshop Cassanova' on that album. 'Feed the World' is a nice flipside to the best-ever Xmas tune, even if David Bowie is a big downer halfway through. Why couldn't he have just sung something on the other side?

Here's my 5:
Ed Harcourt - In the Bleak Midwinter, Pulp - This Is Hardcore (Permanent Darkness Mix), The Dead Sexy Inc. - Let's Go To Bed, Crowded House - She Called Up, The Cranberries - Animal Instinct

Not bad, but I would've preferred a better Cranberries song.

My five, just before 1 a.m. here in the Midwest, 12-15-07:

"Effervescent Blue" by Jackie DeShannon
"Hearts" by Iain Matthews
"City Song" by Lindisfarne
"Hurtwood Alley" by Dan Fogelberg & Tim Weisberg
"Lonesome John" by Tim O'Brien, John Herrman & Dirk Poiwell

An interesting mix . . . as is yours! Have a good weekend.

See, that's what I'm talking about -- I haven't heard any one of those songs whiteray's listed. (I think?)

Nice one! Keep them coming...

Five from me...

Victor Scott - My Hong Kong Ways
Bloc Party - This Is Not A Competition
Silversun Pickups - Little Lovers
The Who - Real Good Looking Boy
Roxy Music - Over You

None of which I've otherwise listened to recently, although in a good linking up kind of way the last one came to me on a playlist posted by Colin of 'And Before The First Kiss'. I love random sounds experiments.
