Chasing The American Dream

January 06, 2005

DOIN' THE iPOD SHUFFLE

OK. It’s time to lighten the mood around here. I stole this idea from my blogging buddy La Chat Noir who swiped it from AnonymousCoworker who adopted it from Texas Biscuit. The idea here is to set your iPod on shuffle, hit the play button, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. Remember kiddies, no cheating! And now, my results…


1 Memory - Sugarcult
2 Stupid Girl - Cold
3 This is the Time To Remember – Billy Joel
4 She Hates Me – Puddle of Mudd
5 Learn to Fly – Foo Fighters
6 7 Nation Army – White Stripes
7 Sympathy – Get Up Kids
8 Strange Magic - ELO
9 Chariot – Gavin DeGraw
10 World on Fire – Sarah McLachlan

All in all, I fared OK. When I look at this list, I think it actually is a fairly good representation of my tastes although nothing from the ‘60s showed up. This was a rather exciting exercise. I was anticipating yet cringing between every song hoping that Dido didn’t show up. Did I just say Dido?
