nice job by the onion...

think this is real entertaining and far better than itunes' celebrity playlists, which i loved in the first place.



This week, The A.V. Club introduces a new occasional feature, Random Rules, in which we ask our favorite rockers, writers, comedians, or whatevers to set their MP3 players to "shuffle" and comment on the first few tracks that come up. No faking us out with cool playlists or skipping embarrassing tracks is allowed, so you, the reader, will be given access into the uncensored, private world of someone else's music library. Can you handle that much truth?

The shuffler: David Berman of Silver Jews.

Don Williams, "Amanda"
Phil Lee, "You Should Have Known Me Then"
The White Stripes, "Offend In Every Way"
Lee Ann Womack, "I Hope You Dance"
Shania Twain, "Come On Over"
Aztec Camera, "The Crying Scene"

other artists featured in this series:
Ben Gibbard
Eugene Mirman, the "indie-rock comedian"
Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse (who drops about 100 f-bombs)
David Cross
