The rules: Take out your iPod or other musical device. Put it in "random" mode. Hit "play." Write down the first ten tracks that come up--and no fair putting in ones you think will make you look cool, or omitting ones that make you look like a total dork.
Here are mine for today:
- Kontakion to the Mother of God (Russian Chamber Chorus, Rachmaninoff: Vespers, Op. 37)
- On the Western Skyline (Bruce Hornsby & The Range, The Way It Is)
