Fifteen Songs
On Facebook, Susannah Sears challenged me to ’15 Songs,’ which seemed fitting, today.
She explains:
“(1) Turn on your MP3 player or music player on your computer.
(2) Go to SHUFFLE songs mode.
(3) List the first 15 songs that come up (song title and artist) NO editing/cheating, please. Even if you might skip the song when it comes up or be embarrassed for people to know that it’s in your collection, you still must list it.
(4) Choose people to be tagged. It is generally considered to be in good taste to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I’m betting that your musical selection is entertaining.
To do this, go to “NOTES” under tabs on your profile page (or click on “+ write a note” button at the top of the page), paste these instructions in the body of the note, enter your 15 Shuffle Songs, Tag 25 people (under the post) then click Publish.”
Here’s what I’ve come up with (or, rather, iTunes did). For fun, do likewise – tell the rest of us your fifteen. Lennon would approve; it avoids musical snobbery and dishonesty.
And, yes, you do see ‘La Traviata’ there.
