Maybe you've had this amazing phenomenon occur when listening to your iPod on _SHUFFLE_.If it +HAS+ happened to you ... let's discuss ... comment/post away campers ... Now, I have to say, I think I make a decent mix tape (CD - it just doesn't sound right), but there are days when I swear I must talk in my sleep - & the pod is _*ALWAYS*_ listening ...On my ride to work & ride to the Drs office, I did my own version of shuffle - picking songs here & there that _suited my fancy_ (da heck is it wit dat phrase anyway) ??? It was great fun. I've also had my own recent mix that I made for "Sir RainyDayMusic":http://mog.com/Rawkkiddo (he spelled it wrong on his site - but we'll let it slip - it's a recent Knighthood) ;) Kev - is Waldorf a reference to the Muppets ? ! ? ! I about fell out of my chair when I saw that this morning ! :)I've also had his mix for me on constant rotation - it's **AMAZING** ... Being that it is a mix that was made for me by a dear MOGFriend - it does *_NOT_* enter this picture - a mix from a friend made especially for you is **+ALWAYS+** the best kind of mix there is - _Insanely Intuitive iPod_ can't even attempt to compare !!!! So, I get in my car, pay the kind parking attendant - _( because it's not enough I have to pay a co-pay & then sit & wait over a 1/2 hour for someone who would charge me if I was late or missed an appointment ... if you're going to schedule me - have the friggin decency to stick to the time AGREED upon ... n'kay KYLE ???)_ I guess that is an issue I'm a little passionate about ;)Right ... I decide it's time for the Pod to *_"Show Me What You Got"_*. I hit shuffle & await the first selection for my listening pleasure ... Here's the 9 (YUP - I ended on 9 - it's when I pulled into the parking lot at work - ( ... I keep telling you people it's ALMOST always 9), songs that iPod threw at me ... my jaw - on the car floor with the beginning of each new song - then I was singin' (really loudly - is there any other way when your in your car ???? ) & car-booty shakin' for all I was worth ... Voila ... presto-chango ... I give you the list that SCHOOLED LizzieGreen ... 1. Evergreen - The Frames (if you've read some of my posts - this is my most favoritest band), plus Ever*GREEN* I mean, *_HELLO PEOPLE_* - Lizzie*GREEN*eyes2. Territorial Pissings - Nirvana - yay loud angry song !!! Too bad I was in a section of the Main Line that has way TOO many stop lights - didn't stop the singin' & car-booty shakin' though ... nothing ever does :)3. Character Zero - Phish - another car-booty shaker to say the least ;) This is such a BRILLIANT song live ... memories with dear friends & really, REALLY _kind_ times ... ah yoot, ain't it grand & all too fleeting !4. Blue in Green - Miles Davis - ooh - changing it up - nice selection - one of my favorites of his as it is off the first album of his I heard - fell in LOVE with jazz that night - & the unattainable boy who played it for me - ahhh unrequited love :) _(again - with the GREEN)_ ;)5. Push - The Cure - back to car-booty shaking ... nice long instrumental beginning - then boy was I singin' the hell outta this one - I *_needed_* The Cure right then - didn't know it til Pod played it for me ... just a little ooogie :)6. Clark Gable - The Postal Service - another tasty selection - at first I wasn't sure it was what I wanted to hear (_almost_ skipped it - but I had to see this through - I should know better than to doubt the Pod ... the Pod **ALWAYS** knows7. Want - Rufus Wainwright - perfection - this is from the first album of his I ever bought - I know, I was a late-bloomer to the RW, but I am so on the train now :) so NONEUS WORRYOUS !!!8. Beware! Criminal - Incubus - I've LOVED this band for over 12 years, my tightest (at the time) friend's brother got a demo tape of theirs from a surfer friend ... we played it for the entire trip PA - OBX ... then the trip back OBX - PA. That's _ALL_ we listened to - it was so totally different (such an amalgam of styles) - Stopuglynailfungus Music On Chillum - **WISH** I still had that tape ... he copied it for all of us - I lent it to someone ... you know the rest :( I gots ta give up some major props to Einziger - that kid plays a **MEAN** guitar. He's high on my list of impressive axemen :)9. When You Gonna Learn (Digeridoo) - Jamiroquai - awwww hellllllz yeeeeah !!! Another favorite band of mine ... Can't wait to see what's next - number 10 _hear_ I come.Schooled the heck outta me, that iPod of mine ... friggin scary-cool !!!
