This post at Crooked Timber apart from listing dozens of people I've never heard of and so making me realise I have lots of music still to find, sounds pretty close to what I was looking at in the previous post here.
Last six tracks played here:
Night and Day - Ella Fitzgerald
Better be good to me - Tina Turner
Cecilia - Simon and Garfunkel
Layla - Derek and the Dominos
Solea - Miles Davis ( from Sketches of Spain)
Runnin' gun Blues - David Bowie
The sequence is simply a function of the shuffle option on the mp3 player, but it always amazes me to find that they somehow always make a satisfying sequence.
