Letting the iPod make the decisions

This morning I needed music, but didn't know what. So I put the iPod on shuffle all, and did not allow myself any skipping as I went about whatever domestic drudgery was going on today. This is what happened.

1. Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 6-9 - Pink Floyd: A little much playing this long version early in the morning. But it's Pink Floyd, so it's all good.
2. Rehab - Amy Winehouse: Always good.
   
3. Let's Get High - Lords of Acid: Had forgotten all about this song. There was dancing. The children were alarmed.
   
4. Come Sail Away - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes: I love this song in any form. Shut up.
   
5. Ball and Chain - Social Distortion: Never not in the mood for this one.
   
6. Suspicious Minds - Dwight Yoakam: Country? Now? Ok, at least it's fast and it's Dwight. Mmmm Dwight.
   
7. Blue (Da Ba Dee) [Extended Mix] - Eiffel 65: More dancing!
   
8. Memories of East Texas - Michelle Shocked: Love her, didn't know this song. Very pretty, really liked it.
   
9. Stickshifts And Safetybelts - Cake: Cake is awesome. This song is one of the least awesome. Bad luck.
   
10. Somebody - Depeche Mode: Like Pink Floyd, hard to go wrong. High school memory inducing tune. Just sayin.
    
11. My Name Is Prince - Prince & the New Power Generation: Now that's some morning cleaning music I can get behind.
    
12. Walking Towards Paradise [*]  - Robert Plant: meh
    
13. Wind Below - Rage Against The Machine: Good song, but not in the mood.
    
14. Dress You Up - Madonna: At first I was like cool, old Madonna. Then it was more of a yuck, this song is annoying.
    
15. Mendocino County Line - Willie Nelson & Lee Ann Womack: Reminded me of my dad, in sad/happy ways.
    
16. Is It Still Over? - Randy Travis: Blech. Romance. Sappiness. Gag.
    
17. Judas - Depeche Mode: We know about DM by now yes?
    
18. Slice of Your Pie - Mötley Crüe: A little jarring in the middle of the rest, but ok.
    
19. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles: Beautiful song I don't really hear much, which is odd.
    
20. Policy Of Truth Depeche Mode: DM
    
21. Down In Flames (- LP Version) - The Uninvited: Bought this cd for a different song, turns out most of it is pretty good. Like this.
    
22. Ya' Keep On - Kid Rock: Another cd loaded for an entirely different song(s). Kid, not today. Go away.
    
23. Carrie - Europe: Hair bands, how I miss you.
    
24. Down Rodeo - Rage Against The Machine: This was ok, I was about done with the music for a while though. Besides...

And then something from Metallica's Load came on, and I had to give up the game. I don't even remember what it was, but it wasn't good.

So that was fun. It could have been better. It could have been a lot worse, too.

Finally, 12 of 12

Every month I enjoy looking at my friend Brian's 12 of 12 posts. Self, I say, you should do that. Then I forget. But not this month. Set a thingy in the Blackberry, and managed to take 12 pictures, every hour(ish) today starting at around 8:30. Want to see them? Ok bye. The rest of you, let's go.


I give up. I can't figure out how to do the pictures like he does. But I did this, dammit.

Goodnight. Gah.
