Random iPod; random thoughts

When I first got an iPod (okay, technically, it was Grant's iPod, but humour me, will you?), I often found myself thinking "What a great song!" when a new song clicked over on shuffle play. Yeah, I know, getting excited about a song that I put on myself is pretty lame, but there it is. The novelty still hasn't entirely worn off, although I rarely think that particular thought anymore. Still, I usually have some sort of an internal commentary while I listen.

Wanna listen in?

• Do any of you remember Moonlighting? Okay, remember that scene where (oh shoot! what's his name?) sings a song to Miss diPesto while standing outside her window? Yeah, that song.
  
  
• Tori Amos and I both have a killer rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart". I gotta find me a karaoke bar someday soon.
  
  
• "I Will Remember You". I really need to rewatch season 2 of Buffy again.
  
  
• I just salsaed my way across the kitchen to make a cup of tea. Because Carlos Santana rocks!
  
  
• If you are truly depressed, listening to any cut from Sinatra's Only The Lonely, is the sure road to suicide. Just sayin'.
  
  
• Boys, there is no way I am going surfing anytime soon. In the USA or anywhere else. Have you watched the weather news lately??
  
  
• There a couple of Diana Krall I really like. Her version of "Squeeze Me"? Not so much.
  
  
• When you hear the name Jennifer Warnes, you probably have a flashback to any number of movie duets, especially Dirty Dancing. But if you want to really find out what a great singer she is, I recommend you pick up Famous Blue Raincoat. The best of Leonard Cohen sung in luscious style. Right now I get to hear "The Song of Bernadette". Lucky me.
  
  
• This list would not be complete without some Kate Bush. I haven't had too much time to really listen to Aerial, her latest album. The album is in two parts; right now I am listening to "Prologue" from A Sky of Honey, which is the second of the two discs. Beautiful.
  
  
• Wow, this next one is really loud. I think it must be from Grant's music. Oops, nope! It's Jann Arden. I downloaded "Calling God" after hearing her sing it in concert. If you ever have a chance to see her in concert, grab it. She is a fabulous singer, but her patter between songs is hilarious!

Okay, ten songs is enough for tonight. I am sorry none of my new songs made the shuffle, but thanks to all of you for your suggestions, they were great! Perhaps that list will be a post for another day. :-)
