Today's scary project: suck all of my mp3 files into winamp...and hit "shuffle".
Current most brain-bending combination so far was:

1) Stun Gun's cover of "The Ghost in You" from "New Wave Goes to Hell"
2) Silverchair's cover of The Clash's "London's Burning"
3) Oysterband - "The Old Triangle" (a cappella English folk song in 4-part harmony)
4) Emma Shapplin - "Spente le Stelle" (techno opera, think "Fifth Element")
5) Liz Phair's version of The Banana Splits theme song
6) Orb - "Toxygene"
7) Icehouse - "No Promises"
8) Boiled in Lead - "Fück the Circus"

At this point my brain broke and I had to go away for awhile. And as a friend pointed out, I really only have myself to blame. =)

Thank you!

GC- Thanks! I had only heard of some of the music you mentioned, but hey- I like having my brain bent as much as the next girl, so I checked out some of the other artists from your list, and Wow! Emma Shapplin rocks my world!

Thanks again-

I discovered Emma by virtue of buying the "Red Planet" soundtrack (skip the movie, just buy the soundtrack), and it's now my mission in life to hunt down as much of her stuff as I can find. I love finding random really good music.

Most of the rest of the stuff isn't in and of itself particularly weird (well, except that particular Boiled in Lead tune and the Banana Splits theme ), just more of the "wow, that's a REALLY weird combination of music" thing. =)
