Pixie's Random 10
All Shuffled Up

1. Madonna - Lo Que Siente La Mujer
Why do I have this song? This is the Spanish version of 'What it feels like to be a girl'. First, I'm a huge Madonna fan. I will never deny my love of Madonna, though she isn't exactly my hero. I'm born a jew, and I can't comprehend why converting to it is cool but being born it is downright sad. I like this song. Shut-up.

2. Elliott Smith - Miss Misery
Why do I have this song? Because Elliott really was as miserable as his lyrics, and honest depression is gorgeous when the radio is filled with trivial false teenage angst for financial gain. I like my singer songwriters to really be fucked up, and well, Elliott can be crowned with his misery.

3. U2 - One
Why do I have this song? I love U2, despite the fact it has to be shared amongst ignorant north jersey guidos. It happens.

4. Zero7 - Somersault
Why do I have this song? Hey, it's with a dozen Zero7 songs, and I have no shame in that.

5. David Bowie - Suffragette City
Why do I have this song? Well, a few years ago I was in the drugstore waiting for the pharmacy to fill my prescription and heard it on the oldies radio station, and I thought, you know, I always liked this song...I should download it when I go home. My friend Joe, who is a huge David Bowie fan, hates...I mean despises this song. So don't tell him.

6. The Doors - Love Her Madly
Why do I have this song? Doesn't everyone like the doors? My mom brought me up on her music...unavoidable for me.

7. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Great Wide Open
Why do I have this song? because Johnny Depp was in the video with Faye Dunaway, and I'd sell my soul for a night with Johnny Depp

8. NIN - The Perfect Drug
Why do I have this song? It's a great song, though it's from a terrible David Lynch movie. Lost Highway was terrible.

9. Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning
Why do I have this song? I went to a college in the village, velvet underground appreciation was unavoidable.

10. Fugazi - Waiting Room
Why do I have this song? Well, it's really my favorite Fugazi song, and some punk is worth hanging onto even though I'm too much of a pussy to stick it out in a pit anymore. Apparently I'm prissy now, but really, don't punch me in the face - my HEALTH INSURANCE does not cover stupidity (or much else).


If this were my CD collection, this would have played out very differently.
