You know the routine: Hit shuffle on your favorite music player and record unedited the first ten songs it opts to play. Here are mine from my iPod:

1. “Moon over the Freeway” — The Ditty Bops
2. “Madagascar” (Push Remix) — Art of Trance
3. “Bajo Otra Luz” — Nelly Furtado featuring Julieta Venegas &
4. “Needles and Pins” — The Searchers
5. “Messiah: Part II, No. 44” — London Symphony
6. “Chicken Fried” — Zac Brown Band
7. “Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree” — Mel & Kim (Yeah, nothing ever really gets deleted from my iPod. I would have been shocked if a Christmas song hadn’t come up…)
8. “Taxi” (live) — Harry Chapin
9. “Daydreamer” — Adele
10. “Crazy” — Gnarls Barkley

I have to say: This may be one of the more eclectic playlists my iPod has ever come up with.

What does your iPod/cd changer/etc. think you’d like to listen to today?

It’s always fun to do this. Today’s mix fairly well represents what’s in the master mix. The Christmas tunes are from family Christmas mix cds and the rest of the tunes are from the inventory of top songs 1955-1977.

1 Midnight Clear – Trans-Syberian Orch
2 Little Old Lady From Pasadena – Jan & Dean
3 Ain’t She Sweet – John, Paul, George, & Pete
4 Light My Fire – Jose Feliciano
5 Christmas Time Again – Lynyrd Skynyrd
6 Calcutta – Lawrence Welk (bet it’s the only one
7 Bridge Over Troubled Water – S&G
8 Blue Christmas – Jon Bon Jovi
9 Just My Imagination – Temptations
10 Christmas Baby (Please Come Home) Joey Ramone

This is a great idea! I stopped listening to my iPod but that shuffle would be something — mostly heart-wrenching schmaltz. That’s probably why I had to stop listening to it so much — too distracting.

I just found you and I’m wondering, how did this happen??? Let’s see, your Sprite Writes and I have a Write Sprite. Your blog has been around a lot longer than mine so I need to figure out how to work around this. Aside from being embarrassing, I’m glad I found you, for a variety of reasons. 🙂

Sorry about the name thing. Hey, sprites are what they are!
