Music

This is gonna be a really scattered post, but I can lay the blame on something other than me. My iPod. More specifically, the shuffle option on my iPod. It takes me from one end of the mood spectrum to the other with no warning or sense. And the best thing is that I’m loving every second of it.

I’ve come to realise that music means quite a lot to me. That is probably fairly obvious to anyone that knows me well, or simply knows that I’m in a band and has assumed it to be the case. But the thing is, it doesn’t matter if it is loud, trashy punk or the softly spoken beauty of folk music, if it is angry shouts or anguished cries or sweet nothings, I love it all. Although sometimes a song will bring me to tears (especially late at night), they are happy tears … except when I listen to the Eels sometimes.

But I just wanted to list some of the tracks that I have re-discovered since I started shuffling at the start of my shift at work today:

Beck - Mixed Bizness
The Hives - A Little More For Little You
David Bowie - Heroes
Cake - You Part The Waters
Gang Of Four - Natural’s Not In It
LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great

This isn’t meant to be an advertisement for the iPod, but I’m not sure what I would do without it. I certainly couldn’t show up to work day in day out without it, I know that.
