Let's shuffle

First a short back story....I do dishes. It's kinda my job around the house. We have a dishwasher but it's not currently working so it defaults to me. To pass the time when I'm scrubbing away I have taken to throwing the buds in the ears and listening to my iPod. Sometimes I choose a particular artist or album while other times I just press shuffle and off we go.

Tonight was a shuffle. It turned out to be not just any shuffle but a perfect 20 song shuffle. It took me 20 songs to do the dishes and cut up a watermelon for summertime consumption.

Since I consider this to be some sort of musical planetary alignment I just had to share.

Here goes -

1. Meditate . . INXS (something old)
2. 61 Seconds . . The Outfield
3. How Deep is Your Love . . Bee Gees
4. Livin' for Your Lover . . Chris Isaak
5. Cool Change . . Little River Band
6. Surrender . . Elvis
7. City of Blinding Lights . . U2 (a top-5 favorite)
8. It Must Be Love . . Madness
9. Knowing Me Knowing You . . ABBA
10. Wise Up . . Aimee Mann
11. Another Idea . . Chris Isaak
12. Big Bottom . . Spinal Tap
13. Devil's Party . . INXS (something new)
14. Talkin' About A Home . . Chris Isaak
15. Cadillac Car . . James "Thunder" Early
16. I Go To Extremes . . William Joel
17. Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting . . Elton John
18. Character Flaw . . Joe Ely
19. Running To Stand Still . . U2 (another top-5 fave)
20. Desperado . . Eagles

As you can see my musical tastes exist far on this side of obscurity with a healthy lean towards the 80's. There are times I step to the dark side but they are few and far between. Not trying to defend or justify. It's just who I am....and I dig it.

Though this hasn't been a ton of typing tonight, its enough for now.

More later.

ps. I got the new Harry Potter book at midnight friday night (didn't dress up or anything but still had a blast). I'm only about 200 pages in so SHHHHHHH......don't tell me how it ends. I must say - it's pretty darn good so far. Off to read.
