 Topic: The MP3 Game!!!
Posted: April 16 2008 at 01:13 |
Okay, so I had to paint this fence today....well, not so much PAINT as cover in a liquid sealant. It was the same concpet though.
But I had to do it all day, so I figured I'd bring the ole ipod along. What hte cheese, right? Shut up.
But seriously, I turned it on random, and I swear, every other song was a Jethro f**king Tull song. Don't I have ANY taste at all? I mean, l,ike, Crimso, Tull, Ween, Tull, Doors, Doors, Tull. No Zep though, which surprised me.
By this I mean, it's clear where your loyalties lie with your MP3 player; ipod or other such (knockoff) device. So let's play a little game. It's called the game of go insane, er, play three to five songs, on random, and see what comes up.
To get us started, I'll cheat a little, and buzz through 'em without listening. No lying whatsoever.
"Cheap Day Return" -Jethro Tull, Aqualung Live
"No Rehearsal" -Jethro Tull, Nightcap (Disc 1)
"Clasp" -Jethro Tull, The Broadsword and the Beast
"Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day" -Jethro Tull, Warchild
"Videotape" -Radiohead, In Rainbows
Okay, so that was a REAL cheap shot. At the Tull. But it was true. Supposedly.

Not that. o:) I only listen to my portable mp3 player when I'm outdoors, which is exactly when I want ear candy - and those are two songs I can listen to over and over again without ever tiring...
the music I listen to at home is far less nice, so that's why I have the contrast =)
