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 rarely listen to my iPod on shuffle. Usually, I queue up several albums and just let them play, or create a specific playlist of songs I'd like to hear right now. The exception is when I'm driving a long distance, occasionally I like to break the monotony with the unexpected juxtapositions that a random playlist offers.

After putting my music player on shuffle, here are the first ten songs to play:

Mountain Goats: "Chinese Rifle Song" from Yam, the King of Crops

Julie Doiron: "Shivers + Crickets" from Heart and Crime

Morrissey: "Ouija Board, Ouija Board" from Bona Drag

Architecture in Helsinki: "City Calm Down" from Fingers Crossed

Jens Lekman: "Too Happy" from spelar i Kalmar 17/12

CocoRosie: "Terrible Angels" from Le Maison de Mon Reve

Josephine Foster: "The Way Is Sweetly Mown" from Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead You

Johnny Cash: "What Do I Care" from The Essential Johnny Cash

Devendra Banhart: "Korean Dogwood" from Cripple Crow

Casey Dienel: "Embroidery" from Wind-Up Canary

I am a fan of singer-songwriters, who would have known?
