Playlist!

[hummingwolf]

While I was offline, many of you wrote entries listing the first X number of mp3s randomly played on your machines. I still have no music on this computer, so I decided to sign in to my alternate Launchcast account and see what my station had to play for me.

This was more difficult than it sounds. Launch's servers have been under a bit of a strain lately (I can see why they instituted limits on heavy listening for free users, though I think all free users should get extra Yahoo accounts to get around the restrictions anyway) and the player would stall for a bit, then suddenly decide to switch to a playlist for the station I was signed in as rather than the Hummingwolf station I was trying to listen to.

Anyway, ignoring superfluous bits of soundtracks that snuck in there, here's what I heard:

1. Martin L. Gore, "Loverman (Bola Remix)"
2. Queensryche, "Open"
3. Solas, "The Newry Highwayman"
4. Loreena McKennitt, "The Lark in the Clear Air"
5. Beth Hart, "Leave the Light On (Full)"
6. The Tea Party, "The River"
7. Evanescence, "Going Under"
8. Jackson Browne, "Your Bright Baby Blues"
9. Laura Love, "Less Is More"
10. DJ Rap, "Live it for Today"
11. Natalie MacMaster, "Appropriate Dipstick"
12. Michael McGoldrick, "Buain Na Choirce"
13. Dave Gahan, "Black and Blue Again"
14. Underworld, "Mosaic"
15. Kate Bush, "Experiment IV"
16. Neneh Cherry, "I Ain't Gone Under Yet"
17. Jeff Black, "Gold Heart Locket"
18. Howard Jones, "Hide and Seek" (version from The Peaceful Tour)
19. Right Said Fred, "Upon My Heart"
20. Roland Orzabal, "Kill Love"
21. Martyn Bennett, "Joik"
22. Aaron Kwok, "Track 12" (from Fascinating)
23. The Corrs, "So Young (K-Class Remix)"
24. Toto, "Tale of a Man"

I'm both a child of the '80s and a child of Fiona Ritchie. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! Happy Sunday to everyone else!

Oh, I had no idea who HoJo wrote the song for! I just know that I love it.

The Tea Party is a rock group from Canada who like to experiment with Eastern influences. Sometimes they sound like they've imbibed a little too much Led Zeppelin, but mostly they sound like themselves, with a fairly decent variety in their songs (not one of those bands where you can't distinguish one song from another). Their music has been categorized in the hard rock, alternative rock, and industrial genres (though I honestly don't think "industrial" quite fits).

'leela' or 'lila' is the hindu concept of 'divine play'! is that cool or what?

thanks for explaining about the tea party. they sound intriguing.
