Via Chris, the Party Shuffle meme. “Open up your entire music library, hit shuffle, and see what the first ten songs to come up are.”

2. My Pink Half of the Drainpipe — Bonzo Dog Doda Band
3. Her Presence In Flowers — Bill Nelson
4. Practically Wired — Shakespear’s Sister
5. Like Cockatoos — The Cure
6. We Walk — R.E.M.
7. (Come On Buddy - You Got) Green Light — Bugge Wesseltoft
8. Turn My Way – New Order
9. Once In A Lifetime — Talking Heads
10. Pulk-pull Revolving Doors — Radiohead
