10 random songs not played yet - 1

3 Sep 2008, 15:27

So, my old laptop "died" a couple of months ago, and with it all the information on play counts for iTunes (fortunately, not my music files, I have them in an external drive). Now my itunes play counts are pretty much down to zero. Since I have 10164 songs in my library and I haven't played 9991 of those yet, I figure it will be ages before I play them all. I thought I could let iTunes create a "smart" (¿?) playlist with 10 random songs I haven't played yet. Hopefully, there won't be lots of embarrassing stuff in it. Here's the first list:

1. PlayMi Novio Es Un Zombi - Alaska y Dinarama - Love it! Reminds me of oh-so-many parties.
2. PlayIdeal Home - Black Box Recorder - Another one I like. I wonder if they will ever release anything new.
3. PlayIn My Place - Coldplay - Perhaps I should like them, but somehow I don't. I don't mind Clocks though.
4. PlaySnowden - Doves - Brilliant song. They are great live, too. And one of them played guitar in some Saint Etienne records, which makes me love them only more.
5. Hombres (Carlos Jean Remix) - Fangoria - Did I mention Olvido Gara (a.k.a. Alaska) is our national treasure?
6. PlaySpecial - Garbage - I love their first two albums, so, yes, I would have played this anyway.
7. PlayTime Out From the World - Goldfrapp - As Agrado would say, "Soy fans, así, en plural" :)
8. PlayMany Rivers To Cross - Jimmy Cliff - Not my "cup of tea". I don't think I ever played this song in my other computer either.
9. PlayMy Ship - June Christy - One of my favorite singers, so underrated and unknown nowadays too. When they invent the time machine, I'll see her live (and Anita O'Day, and Nina Simone, and....)
10. PlayMipney Ma - The Klezmatics - Not bad for an ending, although I prefer their more "upbeat" songs. Great band. Reminds me of the year I spent in NYC.

I think I'll do this every now and then, some surprises might come up... Now, back to work.
