iPod Music
Several days ago, Andrew inquired about the music I have on my iPod. This reminds me a little of when I took an inventory of the contents of my freezer. If you look closely at that the comments for that entry, you'll see I was berated by my mother for introducing Helen to Bombay Sapphire gin. Ah, well.
So, here you have it... a list of some of the particularly good artists in my new iPod Nano.
- Stéphane Pompougnac
- Fluke
- Guster
- Jethro Tull
- Juno Reactor
- KMFDM
- Laika
- The Crystal Method
- Thievery Corporation
- Venus Hum
- Zero 7
Mostly, I tend toward dark and groovy music like Fluke and Juno Reactor, but as you can see, it's also punctuated by some of the fantastic, older stuff like Jethro Tull. Aqualung is one of my favorite Jethro songs, but every time I try to get a guitarist at a bar to play it, they decline and say they don't know it. It's a pity, really.
I'm afraid this list might be a little disappointing to Andrew, since I don't have any 2 Live Crew or Right Said Fred. However, I don't like that music. Those "I'm too sexy for my hat" lyrics were novel, oh, the first 60 times I heard the song in 1992, but that's really not what I want to hear when I'm waiting to board my flight or trying to do some work.
As far as the 1990s go, I can only think of one popular song I still enjoy hearing. That's Scatman, by Scatman John. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you should definitely check out the music video (incidentally, it's recorded from MTV, back in the lost history of when they actually played music videos) over at YouTube. Wikipedia also has a pretty cool article about the Scatman.

Wow, I didn't know Britney Spears read your blog! Way to go, cww, for attracting the who's who of Hollywood to denterprises.org. Next, we'll see comments from Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera (Has it really been nine years since "Genie in a Bottle"? Wow, time flies.) Regarding the music on your ipod, it seems to be hip and electic group, steeped in a diversity that would make Hillary Clinton proud. (okay, where did that come from?) I really believe you can learn a lot about a person by reviewing the music on their ipod. That having been said, I'll make no excuses for downloading onto my ipod the entire soundtrack to the movie "Oh, Brother! Where are thou?" I can't believe that February of 2007 is almost here. It's crazy!

I've really been enjoying Guster lately, too. And I would have been a little worried about you if you'd listed Right Said Fred. :)

I am too sexy for this blog.

I have a distinct memory of sitting at The Londoner one summer and "I'm too sexy" by Right Said Fred came on and you smiled and started chair dancing a little. See... you do like that song.
