Ed suggests that you pick from “all music” the next 10 songs played on your jukebox and then share them with the world no matter how embarassing. I like it, but I’m also going to respond with one additional twist. In addition to my 10 random songs from all music, I’m going to list my 10 random songs from my 5 Star List. So here goes:
