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)?
What do my songs reveal about me? I have good taste!
112, “Interlude”
Chaka Khan, “My Funny Valentine”
Talib Kweli, “The Perfect Beat”
Talib Kweli, “More or Less”
En Vogue, “Hold On”
My iPod says I have a scattered mind. I’m either dancing or crying. Oh boy!
Round Here -George Michael
Like a Virgin (Confessions Tour) – Madonna
Belief – Gavin DeGraw
Where the White Boys Dance – The Killers
The Blower’s Daughter – Damien Rice
It’s All True – Tracey Thorn

Introvert Devotion -Small Axe Band

Pretty Random:
You Got Me Up – Jamie Lidell
Wondering – Dirty Pretty Things
Autorelocator – At the Drive In
The Prodigal Sun – The Black Angels
Morning Song – Zero 7
Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap
and that I will always have that little bit of pop punk rocker in me
Only One by Yellowcard
For the Girl by The Fratellis
Call and Return by Hellogoodbye
Don’t Look Back in Anger by Oasis
Hmmm…I think this says I have quite exceptional taste in music
The Gufs, “Stars”
Dashboard Confessional, “Don’t Wait”
Mandy Moore, “Gardenia”
Christina Agulirea, “Hurt”
Jessica Simpson, “I Belong to Me”
The only thing I can deduct is that I like whiney boy bands and pop starlets. Which is pretty true to reality I suppose.
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!!

Hmm… yeah, no idea what that says about me. Perhaps it says I’m well-rounded? Multi-faceted? Dorky?
Take on Me-A Ha
Sway-Michael Buble
Brass Monkey-Beastie Boys
All Eyez on Me-2Pac
