So, I did this music poll (you know, turn on your iTunes and get ten random songs) thing twice. The first time, they came up all skewed to Ani. While her stuff makes up about 15% of my collection, 40% was a little high, so I did it a second time through too. I think iTunes randomization algorithems aren't great. Anyway,

here they are

First pass
Looking for a Boy - Ella Fitzgerald - I'm just a little gorl, looking for a boy who's looking for a girl to love

Buildings and Bridges - Ani Difranco - Building and bridges are made to bend in the wind / To withstand the world that's what it takes / All that steel and stone / are no match for the air my friend

Plenty - Sarah McLaughlin

I have Loved You - The Innocence Mission

Untouchable Face - Ani Difranco - two thirty in the morning, and my gas tank'll be empty soon/Neon sign on the horizon, rubbing elbows with the moon

Hour Follows Hour - Ani Difranco - I don't know who you were expecting / probably some bitch who does not budge / with eyes the size of snow / I may get pissed off sometimes / but you seem like the type to hold a grudge / and in the end, I just let go...

Paper Doll - The Innocence Mission

Nightswimming - REM - Every streetlight a reminder

rock paper scissors - Ani Difranco- But I do not want to know you this way, surrounded by so much pain, but how am I supposed to let go of you this way?

In the Way - Ani Difranco - Tell me what is in the way, in the way of my love for you? I have to get it out of the way of my love, there's something in the way of my love.... We took down all the pictures, then we took down all the walls, we packed up our expectations and piled them in the halls, Yeah we packed our future and we took it to the curb / and we shood there unemcumbered and we stood there undeterred

******************
Second Pass

Old - Paul Simon - All my friends stand up and cheer and say Man you're old

Old Jabo - Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee Okay, I can't actually make out any of the lyrics to this.

Gold Rush Brides - 10,000 Maniacs - Who were the homestead wives / Who were the gold rush brides / Does anybody know? Do their words survive their yellow fever lives in the pages they wrote? The land was free and it cost their lives

Fare Thee Well - Indigo Girls - And now I think of having loved and having lost / you never know what it's like to never love / Who can say what's better, and my heart's become the cost

When I was a Boy - Dar Williams - The sign say Less is More / More that's tight means there's more to see / More for them not more for me

Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper - Ooooh, girls just wanna have fun!

Halleluiah - Brian Joseph - I stole this getup from a priest down in Ridgeside / It makes me feel just like I'm wearing a dress / But I don't mind 'cause it's so easy / to rob a house you just blessed

Hour Follows Hour - Ani Difranco - See above

Owensboro - Natalie Merchant

Hey Jack Kerouac - 10,000 Maniacs -

I wonder if it randomizes based on the number of times you've listened to a particular song, or if it's truly random? If it bases its randomizing on the most-often-played songs in the list, that might explain the bias.
