mp3 shuffle
I don’t recall where it was I first saw this "Ipod" shuffle thing some of the other bloggers out there are doing, so I am not sure whom I must credit for the idea.
A couple problems had to be over come. To shuffle my gizmo is not really very easy, since I use it for all sorts of things, data files and the like. Furthermore, it contains 20G of material, so you never know what is going to come out. Still I found a way to shuffle at least the directories where I store some music and produced this. I use a player called an iRiver. While you contemplate the list, and scratch your head, you can glance over at my view as I put it together.
1) Lo Ferm Voler – Music at the Time of Dante – Ensemble Lucidarium
2) Mid-Air – That’s What – Leo Kottke
3) Paradiso 6 – Dante
4) Variation 15. Canon on the fifth – Bach – Goldberg Variations – Murray Perahia
5) Victory Is Won – Shaman – Santana
6) Dizzy – Dizzy Up The Girl – The Goo Goo Dolls
7) Lungo il fiume – Stato di calma apparente – Paola Turci
8) 2046 Main Theme – 2046 – Shigeru Umebayashi
9) 疯狂世界 – 全体 – 国è¯Âè€ÂæŒ新åâ€Â±-夜上海
10) Occuli omnium, gradual in mode 7 – Pro cantione Antiqua – Palestrina: Masses
LOL! That shuffle looks schizophrenic. I do love the picture, though. Thanks. It’s beautiful as usual.

Comment by Fr. Specht — 5 December 2006 @ 6:14 pmDizzy up the Girl, indeed! I had to laugh at that. Your IPOD sounds every bit as eclectic as my own. :)

?!
Sniff! My hero has clay feet.
Comment by Jon — 5 December 2006 @ 7:13 pmThe Goo Goo Doll is bad, but “疯狂世界 – 全体 – 国è¯Âè€ÂæŒ新åâ€Â±-夜上海” really takes the cake.

Hmmmmm. Is that “sick [?] world—whole body—national language, old song,
new gem, one evening in Shanghai” ????
My Japanese is a bit rusty; and going from Chinese through Japanese into English is

Unfortunately my browser doesn’t handle the Kanji characters. Or the the Hiragana or Katakana, either. All I get is a row of question marks. Could you please explain your selection?
Comment by PMcGrath — 6 December 2006 @ 4:00 am``疯狂世界”: literally ``Crazy World”, perhaps is the name of the band or the album.
``全体”: ``all the members”?
``国è¯Âè€ÂæŒ新åâ€Â±”: mandarin old song, new cover version.
``夜上海”: ``Shanghai Night”, a ooooooold song, popular in 1930s or maybe 1940s. Here’s the information about the original singer:

it might be her most famous piece of song. Of course, i don’t think your version is by her voice.
