Question for you

[oakenguy]

I've been trying to broaden my musical horizons and make my iPod more interesting. My first idea was to go to the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time' list that Rolling Stone magazine put out, which wasn't a bad idea except that, well, it was put out by Rolling Stone magazine.

And then it hit me: you're smart, creative people. And you friended me, so we must have *something* in common. And your combined musical knowledge is a force to be reckoned with! So, dear friend list:

What 1 song do you recommend I load into my iPod, and why?

P.S. Stand-up comedy routines are also acceptable.

What is this "just one" you speak of???

Well, I was going to just tell you to load whatever was #1 on my most-played list, but #1 was embarrassing. So were 2 and 3.

So I present:

4. School Uniform - The Pipettes
5. The Last Night Of Not Knowing You - Darren Hanlon (see also "Punk's Not Dead," "Hiccup," and "Operator, Get Me Sweden")
14. The Milkman of Human Kindness - Billy Bragg (see also "The Saturday Boy")
26. Pony - Kasey Chambers


... and, um, stuff.

I also recently discovered a singer-songwriter called Amy Martin. So far, I'd suggest "Day of Reckoning," "Rose of Sharon," "Consequences," "Bind Me To Free," and "Away."

Erm, so, if I happened to have made a playlist of ~68 of my closest (unprotected) musical friends ... would you be interested in a .zip?



(No, this has nothing to do with finals week. Perish the thought.)

I totally would! (For one thing, I'm very curious about the songs you're embarrassed about. ;) )
