elizillaTonight I sat down and created my first playlist ever, a nice long one, over 20 hours. I came back to LJ and there was this meme in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
annaoj's journal. It seems like a fun game, and the timing was perfect, so here goes.
1. On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty-five songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing).
2. Write down one (or two) line(s) of the song. Try to avoid lines that include the title.
3. Have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.
4. When someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it.

2. pour out the whiskey, pour out the rum / fifty cents to Davey Godfrey so the government work gets done
3. she raised her head and pricked her ears and before that hammer fell
4. she throws him on the ground without turning around
5. even if we both still look puzzled, let your face be the last one I see
6. so I worked on the towboats with my slippery city shoes / which I swore I would never do again

11. I spent some time in New Orleans / I had to live on rice and beans
12. and the blue eyed madonna leaves town while the drunken man waits

Date: 2004-12-19 06:13 am (UTC)I've made mix tapes or CD's for friends and for events, and have some lists on paper that I'd like to record sometime. But I certainly don't have anything like my own playlist. What is this? Is there some new technology or new game I'm not up on?

You can get the mp3 files by ripping them from your own CDs, or you can download them, legally or illegally, from the internet. I mostly rip them from CDs I own, but I have a few that I've downloaded from legal sources like band websites. I rip from CDs using a program called CDEX.
