Riverwide - Sheryl Crow
Can't Get You Out of My Head - Kylie Minogue
Hands Across The Ocean - The Mission U.K.
Grace - Ruby
Room At The Top - Adam Ant
Home - Great Northern
Krafty - New Order
Rent - Pet Shop Boys
Dreamer - Elizaveta
Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani

I don't know what mathematical algorithm drives the "random" feature on iPods, but sometimes I swear it has actual preferences. Today, for instance, it went heavy on Morrissey, Belly (Tanya Donnelly) and especially OMD. Go figure.
