The Sketchy Shuffle

  Skipping through music, I've discovered quite an odd list when on shuffle:

I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan- Frank Sinatra

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off- Ella Fitzgerald

White Wedding- Billy Idol

I can't tell if I see a message there or some sort of terrible prophecy!

Edit: Upon further listening, Let's Call The Whole Thing Off features Louis Armstrong singing "Potato, Potahto, let's call the whole thing off," I assume he's telling not to worry about it. Though now I must come up with a dance called the Sketchy Shuffle.

A Game!

  I came up with this weird association game yesterday.
The way you play is that you pick a song on your playlist, any song. Choose a word from the title and find a song with that word in that one's title. Lather, rinse, and repeat as necessary. For example:

1. Sorrow-Bad Religion
2. I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow-O Brother Where Art Thou?
3. Piano Man-Billy Joel
4. The Piano Duet-Corpse Bride
5. Violin Duet-Gaelic Storm

 I ran out of songs that could work there, which is the point of the game and it's over! If I had gone with Iron Man by Black Sabbath instead of Piano Man, I would have gotten Iron by Ensiferum and been done. If I had gone with Sadness and Sorrow [Piano Version] by Enigma, I would have come full circle to Sorrow by Bad Religion, but I felt that was cheating because it's not really the title.

  Anyway, It's cool to see where you end up. I went from a punk song about religion to lively fiddles by an Irish band. What did you get?
