The iTunes Shuffle Challenge

OK, so I'm taking up my friend Marko's challenge - list the first 15 songs in iTunes Shuffle mode - no cheating to make things look cooler. Here we go:

1. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, by U2 from The Joshua Tree
2. Illumine, by Venus Hum from their self-titled album
3. If I Was Your Girlfriend, by Prince, from The Hits/The B-Sides
4. Highway Song, by James Taylor from Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon
5. In A Sweater Poorly Knit, by mewithoutyou from Brother, Sister
6. Now In This Hush, by The Innocence Mission from Umbrella
7. Crazy Beat, by Blur from Think Tank
8. Mary's Boy, by Alathea from their new CD, My Roots Go Deeper Available July 3rd - go get it!
9. And I'm Free, by Judson Spence from his as-yet unreleased and untitled CD
10. S.O.U.L. by Slum Village from Trinity (Past, Present and Future)
11. Just A Test, by The Beastie Boys from Hello Nasty
12. The Rooster, by Big Boi from Speakerboxxx
13. John TheRevelator, by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band from Funeral For A Friend
14. Flesh And Blood, by Solomon Burke from Don't Give Up On Me
15. Come As You Are, by Nirvana from MTV Unplugged
and out of moral duty I will list:
16. Back Together, by Lewis Taylor from Stoned (the title track is one of my favorite songs of the past 2 years)


And for reference I'll list Marko's playlist as well - a nice, diverse list. I commend Marko for not cheating with the Creed inclusion:)

Amazing public art

Discovered this public art project in Liverpool. An egg-shaped hole cut out of a building and fixed on a pivot so that the outside of the building can rotate and become the inside, and vice versa. Amazing visual and fantastic engineering. An article on the project is found here and if you scroll to the bottom you'll find a downloadable video of the piece making the full 360 degree turn.
