mp3 shuffle (five knuckle shuffle)

Ok, I'll play along. Everybody else seems to be doing it. I'll just let random run on my computer (a bit more all over the place than what is on my mp3 player) and see what shows up at http://www.last.fm/user/politemadness after a bit.

The rules: Take your iPod or MP3 player (or launch iTunes or whatever), and put it on shuffle. List the first 25 songs and artists in order (no skipping stuff you find embarrassing!) If I got a second song by an artist who already popped up, I skipped ahead to the next one. Some might regard that as cheating, but it gives a wider idea of your music collection. Once you have made your list, tag 25 of your friends (including me).
