It’s been a month since we last played a game of "iPod Inspection," and today, I thought it might be fun to just hit the old "Shuffle Songs" function, and see what my little silver friend has to say about me. So without further ado…
Susanna Hoffs (pictured),"Only Love"
OmaraPortuondo, "Siempre en Mi Córazon"
Anastacia,"I’m Outta Love"
CrystalWaters, "The Boy From Ipanema"
Madonna, "Hollywood"
Alrighty then!Apparently, my iPod is saying I’m gayer than a tangerine wearing a feather boashopping for ginger bodywash at Origins, but I think most of you already knewthat. So moving right along, what are the first five songs you get when you hit’shuffle,’ and what do these tracks reveal about who you are (if anything)?

Talib Kweli, “More or Less”

My iPod says I have a scattered mind. I’m either dancing or crying. Oh boy!

Wilco, “Candy Floss”
Jon Brion, “Moana Chimes” (Punch-Drunk Love soundtrack)
Van Halen, “Jump”
Tom Waits, “Dog Door”
Belle & Sebastian, “Sukie in The Graveyard”
Just about right- my 20.3 days of music is probably about 1/5 soundtracks, and features almost 30 hours of 80s. Most is alternative pop & rock… novelty, oldies, and easy listening (mainly Ella Fitzgerald) make up the rest.
What does my IPod reveal?? I am a total 80’s fan & that I still can’t get pass my jr. high days!!

Well, I still don’t have an IPod, though I am on the verge of giving in and buying one at last. But Michael, I just want to thank you for that 1986 picture of Susanna Hoffs. For this 80’s child, it brought back memories of my greatest celebrity crush! It helped that the Bangles were a great band, but even if their music sucked, that was one smokin’ hot chick! Now my Monday is better!

Either I want to go on vacation to Europe or I really like music I can jump around to.
