QotD: My Musical Horoscope

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 lost my whole music collection in a tragic asshated deletion moment. I've been rebuilding it from the collection of friends and strangers, so it skews towards banjo currently, apparently.

• Sea Lion Woman - Crooked Jades - nice acapella sounding. I wish this wasn't all DRMed
• I Can See Clearly Now - The Deighton Family - awesome cover, from a mix cd I think I imported but never listened to
• Off to Sea Once More - pretty sure it's Grisman/Garcia - from the sea shanty mix "These are the wails of a hundred years" made for me by good old whatshisname back when he and my sister had a good thing going.
• Golden Ring - Dry Branch Fire Squad - excellent cover [why are these all covers? how non-random is that? what does that say about my horoscope? damn this song is long]
• Lost John - Woody Guthrie
• Letter From an Occupant - New Pornographers
• Barefoot Marmlish Blues - B. Sam Firk - I see a theme here
• Charles Giteau - Kelly Harrell And The Virginia String Band
• Drink to Me Babe, Then - AC Newman - one of the things I'd lost that was in the "hipster stuff that the ex listened to all the time" that I went ahead and replaced anyhow
• Take me Into Your Embrace - Marika Kanaropoulou - Ah the lovely Women of Rembetica!

I really wish last.fm's redesign didn't suck so hard, otherwise I'd have more excitement about teling you to go check out what else I listen to. What a weird group of stuff? What have I learned?

Ouch. Ya know, it really should only take one catastrohpic loss like this to learn a painful lesson about backing crap up. But nope, not me. Took 1.5 times. The second time I spent weeks pulling data off a failing drive. But I got to keep 99% of my music. Now it's on two drives just in case.

And thanks for reminding me of the goodness that is Billy Bragg. I'll have to load him back onto the iPod.
