From the UK’s [Word Magazine](http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/content/the-randomizer-tells-your-musical-fortune/?ref=drewshannon.net):

> It’s a few days past the first day of Spring so it’s time to Randomize again, like we did last year at this time. This is how it works: go to iTunes (or whatever) set it to random (or whatever) and then enter the first five tunes it comes up with. I shall go first. Ahem. 1\. The Knack: My Sharona 2\. Mario Lanza: Danny Boy 3\. Orbital: The Girl With The Sun In Her Head 4\. Django Reinhart: Improvisation No 1 5\. John Prine: We’re Not The Jet Set Usual rules. Anyone fudging it in order to make themselves come up to some arbitrary and unconvincing notion of “cool” is disqualified. The same with arch references to how embarrassed you are that it’s popped up with Chicory Tip. It’s music. It’s supposed to be fun. Over to you.

**Here’s mine:**    
**1\. Ben Folds Five - Uncle Walter** 
**2\. Green Day - Macy’s Day Parade** 
**3\. Bob Marley - Exodus** 
**4\. Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me** 
**5\. Against Me! - Stop**

Ok, your turn.
