Proving that even cranky old dudes can still follow protocol, here's another edition of 'Random 10 selection from iTunes'. I used my playlist Albumizer which has these selectors:
- A. Track Number greater than zero -to eliminate audiogalaxy holdover files, or songs ripped in the 'old days' with flaky internet connections, etc.;
- B. Last played is not in the last 97 days - to cycle through the library, variety is a condiment of life;
- C. My rating is not 1 or 2 - eliminate the crap tracks and novelty tracks;
- D. Genre does not include spoken word - no need to listen to the U.S. Presidential debates, or other dreck;
- E. Time is greater than 1 minute
Actual songs after jump.
Weezer Pinkerton (I was pretty late to the Weezer party, but I've stayed longer than I thought. Go figure)

Jordan, Louis No Moe! Louis Jordan- The Greatest Hits (I love me some Moe)
4. Parisien du nord 
Cheb Mami Du Sud au Nord

5. Every Needs Somebody To Love 
13th Floor Elevators Live in San Francisco
(Austin hippy gurus, with the semi-tragic frontman, Roky Erickson)
6. Reefer Song

7. Te Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam Udit Narayan Hooray For Bollywood
(not sure of how I got this)
8. The Singing Bridge Of Memphis Tennessee 
Fahey, John The Essential John Fahey
(missed seeing Mr. Fahey before he died. Too bad)

(middling song from a great band)
Ultimate Fakebook This Will Be Laughing Week

another mindless posting deserves another mindless response
