If You Shuffle and No One Comments...Does It Matter?

Well, the whole shuffle thing is getting a bit old.  Even my good ole' buddy Kid_Lysol has stopped it.  Thus, so shall I.  However, I will leave you with one final look at the wheel of songs that is called an iPod Shuffle.  It's been real.  It's been fun.  But It's Not Been Real Fun.

I Dare You (Acoustic Version) - Shinedown  (Shinedown)
Sweetness - Jimmy Eat World  (Bleed American)
She's Always A Woman - Billy Joel  (The Essential Billy Joel) 
Underground - Ben Folds Five  (Ben Folds Five)
Somewhere Only We Know - Keane  (Hopes and Fears)
Somewhere Out There - Our Lady Peace  (Gravity)
When Your Mind's Made Up - The Frames (The Cost)
Currents  - Dashboard Confessional  (Dusk & Summer)
There She Goes - The La's  (The La's)
Lost! - Coldplay   (Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends)

If you have not seen "So I Married An Axe Murderer" starring Mike Myers you really should watch it.  It tanked at the movies and really does not have a true cult following, but it is actually one of my favorite movies of all time.  Mr. Myers is not over the top in the film at all and it just has some good dry humor and a few silly gags and stupid jokes.  Also, Oscar Winner Alan Arkin has an uncredited role that is just hilarious.  Not to mention Charles Grodin doing what he does best.  Man, now I gotta go watch it again.  
Best scene:
Stuart Mackenzie: Look at the size of that boy's heed. 
Tony Giardino: Shhh! 
Stuart Mackenzie: I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick. 
Tony Giardino: Shhh, you're going to give the boy a complex. 
Stuart Mackenzie: Well, that's a huge noggin. That's a virtual planetoid. 
Tony Giardino: Shh! 
Stuart Mackenzie: Has it's own weather system. 
Tony Giardino: Sh, sh, shh. 
Stuart Mackenzie: HEAD! MOVE! 
Stuart Mackenzie: I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Now that was offside, wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow. 

Hilarious.  Anyway, the song I picked "There she goes again" is the opening and closing song of the film.  It is just a cute little pop number, that was redid by Sixpence None The Richer.  The real version is so much better.  Check it out here.
