QotD: My Musical Horoscope
What's your musical horoscope? (Put your music player on shuffle and write down the first 10 songs that come up.) Inspired by Stephanie.
I lost my whole music collection in a tragic asshated deletion moment. I've been rebuilding it from the collection of friends and strangers, so it skews towards banjo currently, apparently.
- Sea Lion Woman - Crooked Jades - nice acapella sounding. I wish this wasn't all DRMed
- I Can See Clearly Now - The Deighton Family - awesome cover, from a mix cd I think I imported but never listened to
- Off to Sea Once More - pretty sure it's Grisman/Garcia - from the sea shanty mix "These are the wails of a hundred years" made for me by good old whatshisname back when he and my sister had a good thing going.
- Golden Ring - Dry Branch Fire Squad - excellent cover [why are these all covers? how non-random is that? what does that say about my horoscope? damn this song is long]
- Lost John - Woody Guthrie
- Letter From an Occupant - New Pornographers
- Barefoot Marmlish Blues - B. Sam Firk - I see a theme here
- Charles Giteau - Kelly Harrell And The Virginia String Band
- Drink to Me Babe, Then - AC Newman - one of the things I'd lost that was in the "hipster stuff that the ex listened to all the time" that I went ahead and replaced anyhow
- Take me Into Your Embrace - Marika Kanaropoulou - Ah the lovely Women of Rembetica!
I really wish last.fm's redesign didn't suck so hard, otherwise I'd have more excitement about teling you to go check out what else I listen to. What a weird group of stuff? What have I learned?

And thanks for reminding me of the goodness that is Billy Bragg. I'll have to load him back onto the iPod.
