Music Library Shuffle

[KefkaCultist]

Hello fellow Escapists, I just came from a thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.338037-i-need-more-music] where the OP was asking for random songs to listen to. One of the comments on it said that they just put their library on shuffle and posted the first five to come up. I really like this idea and I thought it would make for an interesting thread, so here we are (I did search bar this and from what I saw, the last one was made 3 years ago, so go away naysayers).

So here it goes, open your preferred media player and put it on shuffle. Leave a comment here with the first five random songs you get. No cheating to look cooler. No one other than you should care about your musical tastes.

Amend to rules: If you get a song that you're worried about the content of, feel free to skip it. I don't think you'd get mod-action for the title or content of a song, but if you don't want to risk it then that's fine. I'm not forcing you to do anything.

I'll go first:

1. Paramore - My Heart
2. Bullet for My Valentine - Hearts Burst Into Fire
3. Rammstein - Ich Will
4. Korn - Did My Time
5. My Chemical Romance - House of Wolves

Feel free to post videos with them if you want, but I'd like to suggest spoilers for them if you do please.

Spoiler: Short guides of how to make spoiler boxes and embed videos if you don't know

For spoiler boxes, set it up as [ spoiler=*words you want shown on spoiler box* ] *insert hidden stuff here* [ /spoiler ] except there are no spaces within the brackets. I had to put those there so that you could see the tag.

To embed a video, the code is [ youtube=*letters/numbers after the "=" on the video's url ]
Say the url is www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAAAA then the tag to embed it is [ youtube=AAAAA ] again excluding the spaces.

Finally, to make a spoiler box contain a video, it will be [ spoiler=*words on box* ][ youtube=*letters/numbers* ][ /spoiler ], but no spaces in brackets still just like before.

hope this helps someone.

This thread was inspired by a comment of Tips_of_Fingers [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Tips_of_Fingers], so everyone go and give him a cookie.

 

[iphonerose]

1. Foo Fighters- Come back
2. WWE Themes- The undertaker (original)
3. Simon and Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson
4. Radiohead- Lozenge Of Love
5. Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson- My Rifle, My Pony and Me

I'm not bothered to link them all, but here's a gooden, sometimes less is more

Spoiler

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

1. Chapel Hill - Sonic Youth
2. World in harmony - Peter Green & Fleetwood Mac
3. Fever of the beat - The Vandelles
4. Murder - New Order
5. Mary Anne with the shaky hands - The Who

Pretty good usually my ipods shuffle mode hates me, constantly picking songs from those albums I'm now embarassed to own because I bought on a whim after hearing one song but rest of the album was awful.

 

[Chased]

1. Machinae Supremacy - Anthem Apocalyptica
2. Sepultura - Slave New World
3. Sepultura - Manifest
4. Deftones - Back To School (Mini Maggit)(LP Version)
5. Deadmau5 - One Trick Pony

Surprised the shuffle produced 4 tracks in a row of hard rock/metal.

1.The Dance Of The Pagan Flame - Behemoth
2.Eat Of The Dead - Nile
3.Every Planet We Reach Is Dead - Gorillaz
4.Feeble Screams From Forests Unknown - Burzum
5.Hyperviolet - Pig Destroyer

I dont have enough variety on my mp3 player. Really, my music collection ranges from metal to trip hop to classical progressive rock. I should format my player and put a new selection on it. Damn thing only has 16 GB of space, nowhere near enough, although it makes up for it in other areas.

Out of curiosity is this a good sampling of your music collection? That's a lot of dark music, even that Gorillaz tune is a bit of a downer.

 

[Archangel768]

1. The Pulse Fal'Cie - Final Fantasy XIII (I hate the game)
2. Hakai to Zetsubou - Gundam Seed Destiny Original Sound Track III
3. To Meet You Someday - Ef a Fairy Tale of the Two
4. Linea Motor Girl - Perfume
5. Ranma 1/2 (it just says track 26)

2, 3, 4 were good.

 

[unoleian]

1. Armin van Buuren - Never Say Never (Alex Gaudino Remix)
2. Mochipet - Oh Just Another Bombtrack (feat. Rage Against the Machine)
3. Sublime - Right Back
4. Pretty Lights - B-Rock
5. Beats Antique - Vardo

Not a bad shuffle. Certainly diverse. Usually my shuffle hits me with 2 or 3 of the same artist, and often all of them in a row.

 

[burningdragoon]

Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit
Random Encounter - Miss You
Staind - Just Go
Aperture Science Psychoacustics Laboratory - You Know Her?
Blind Guardian - Wizard's Crown (finally! a really good one)


Buh, overall disappointment really. None of that is bad at all, but I have plenty of stuff sooooo much better.

 

[ChupathingyX]

1. Still Ballin (Remix) - Tupac
2. Swing Life Away - Rise Against
3. Tears Don't Fall - Bullet For My Valentine
4. Beyond The Last Horizon - Ayreon
5. Arena - Dynasty Warriors 3

That's...pretty good.

Beyond The Last Horizon is my favourite out of all of those, and it has the most "listens" too.

 

[Kenbo Slice]

1. Take it Away - The Used
2. Wasting Away - Tonight Alive
3. Twenty-Twenty Surgery - Taking Back Sunday
4. Blackout - Breathe Carolina
5. Bro, Ashley's Here - Attack Attack!

 

[Instinct Blues]

1. Foo Fighters- Come back
2. WWE Themes- The undertaker (original)
3. The Beatles - Mrs. Robinson
4. Radiohead- Lozenge Of Love
5. Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson- My Rifle, My Pony and Me

I'm not bothered to link them all, but here's a gooden, sometimes less is more

Spoiler

Mrs. Robinson is not by the Beatles. It is a Simon & Garfunkel song looks like you got a mislabeled one on Limewire or other such site.

As for myself these are my five songs.

1. Screaming Females- Halfway Down
2. The Beatles- You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers- Magic Johnson
4. The Flaming Lips- One Shot
5. The Dead Weather - Hang You From The Heavens

 

[A Weary Exile]

1. How Many More Times (Live in Denmark) - Led Zeppelin
2. Mellowship Slinky in B Major - The Red Hot Chili Peppers
3. Roll Over Beethoven - Chuck Berry
4. Dirty Drowning Man - Primus
5. Mescal Rite I - Tomahawk

Seems like a pretty accurate representation of my musical tastes. I'm just surprised I didn't get more Zeppelin considering how many of their songs I have. >.>

 

[Andy Shandy]

Spoiler: Twisted Transistor - Korn

Spoiler: Justified (Dead Rising True Ending Theme) - Drea

Spoiler: We've Had Enough - Alkaline Trio

Spoiler: I Let Go - Eighteen Visions

Spoiler: Kingdom Of Rain - Soulsavers

Not a bad few songs, although admittedly the only one I've listened to recently is Kingdom Of Rain.

[Trololo Punk]

Godsmack- Shine Down
Bad Religion- It Must Look Pretty Appealing
Serj Tankian- Lie, Lie, Lie
Wolfmother- Dimension

2. Eurythmics - The Walk

4. Aimee Mann - I've Had It
