Can't find the thread I started about a year ago. However, as a reminder: switch your IPod to random play and then list the first ten consequetive tracks that it plays for you. Now what does these tunes actually tell you about the narrowness or breadth of your musical tastes? Since I've doubled the number of tracks on my IPod in the last year (but few full albums included), I thought it might be time for another spin. So am I one tracked, multi-tracked or eclectic?????
Nick Drake: Road (ex. Pink Moon)
Surinder Sandhu: Until Then (ex. The Fictionist)
Todd Rundgren: A Treatise On Cosmic Fire Part 3 (ex. Initiation)
King Crimson: Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With (ex. The Power To Believe)
Joni Mitchell: Hejira (ex. Hejira)
Bugge Wesseltoft: Moving (ex. Moving)
Copernicus: The Blind Zombies (ex. Disappearance)
Tom Coster: Voyage To Nowhere (ex. The Forbidden Zones)
Small Faces: The Universal ( ex. The Collection)
Niacin: Ry-30 (ex. Deep) ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS. CLICK ON: http://www.lborosu.org.uk/media/lcr/live.php - http://www.lborosu.org.uk/media/lcr/live.php Host by PA's Dick Heath. |
