It’s a Musical Life

Oct 26, 2007  |  Posted by:

I love putting my entire iPod on random. There is no way I would listen to anything I have on it if I didn’t.

On my way to work I heard:

1. “Your Bruise” Death Cab for Cutie (walking to the subway)
2. “The Outer Banks” The Album Leaf (waiting for the train, skipped halfway through)
3. “Under Pressure” David Bowie & Queen (skipped)
4. “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” The Police (riding/standing on the subway)
5. “In a Graveyard” Rufus Wainwright (riding/standing on the subway)
6. “Please Break My Heart” Caitlin Cary & Thad Cockrell (waiting to sit at 125th st.)
7. “Perfect Heaven Space” Travis (sitting with all my stuff on my lap)
8. “To Zion” Lauryn Hill (reminiscing about high school with my eyes closed)
9. “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” ACDC (skipped)
10. “Times They Are A Changin'” Bob Dylan (transferring to the C at 42)
11. “Color of Water” M. Ward (hopping off the C into the cool morning air)
12. “Never Is a Promise” Fiona Apple (shopping for breakfast for the shoot in Whole Foods)
13. “Operator (That’s Not The Way It Feels)” Jim Croce (dazing in Whole Foods)
14. “7” Prince (checking out of Whole Foods)
15. “Our Prayer Gee” Brian Wilson (missed it while I was talking to the cashier)
16. “Crystal Baller” Third Eye Blind (what? I like Third Eye Blind, walking to work)
17. “Interlude (Milo)” Modest Mouse (still walking to work with groceries and wondering what song this is and who it is and why a baby is cooing in my hears to an organ)
18. “Track 03” Rufus Wainwright (this song isn’t titled on my iPod, don’t hassle me Luke!, arrived at work)

I’m tagging people who I am interested in knowing what your random work/school playlist is on your iPod. Tag, you’re it.

    So this got me thinking somehow (I can’t explain my trains of thought), not what music plays randomly in your ipod but what plays randomly in your head. For instance, today I found myself humming at different times but in this order:
    1) The 1812 Overture
    2) A Certain Trigger by Maximo Park
    3) Help Me Rhonda by the Beach Boys
    4) I Can Do It Without You by the Kaiser Chiefs
    5) A Certain Trigger by Maximo Park (again)

    What about you?
