Friday Random Ten

I've noticed a bit of increased traffic from our new friends over at the cleverly named Clever Titles Are So Last Summer, and since the Friday Random Ten demands participation, I thought I'd give everyone a refresher on the rules:

• Fire up your favorite digital media player
  
• Set to "shuffle"
  
• List the first ten songs it plays. No skipping songs that are embarrassing, since that takes all the fun out of it.
  
• Post your FRT in the comments as well as your own blog if you are so inclined.
  

Here's my list, which unfortunately isn't very random--mostly indie rock, with a pinch of Prince to liven things up. Except, of course, it's Diamonds and Pearls which isn't very lively. In fact, I don't even like that song. Of the hundreds of Prince songs I own, why is that the only one that ever shows up on this thing?

1. King of Carrot Flowers Pt.1 (live) - Neutral Milk Hotel
   
2. Confused - Lou Barlow
   
3. That Was My Veil - PJ Harvey & John Parrish
   
4. Small Town Shit - Hotel Lights
   
5. Little Savage - Elvis Costello & The Attractions
   
6. Diamonds and Pearls - Prince
   
7. Road to Rock N'Roll - Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
   
8. Tiny Spark - Brendan Benson
   
9. Philosophy - Ben Folds Five
   
10. Life's What You Make It - Talk Talk
    

Your turn!
