Finally got around to redeeming the $25 iTunes card Babendude got me for my b-day. Downloaded some good stuff:
An oldie but a goodie – “Lonely Teardrops” by Jackie Wilson
Some alternative – “Hero” by Skillet, “Dragonfly” by Shaman’s Harvest, “Cry Little Sister” by Seasons After, “Smack My Bitch Up” and “Firestarter” by Prodigy, “She Talks To Angels” by The Black Crowes
A few Big Hair Bands – “18 and Life” and “I Remember You” by Skid Row, “Wait” and “When the Children Cry” by White Lion, “Nobody’s Fool” by Cinderella
A little 80’s and 90’s – “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinead O’Connor, “Listen to Your Heart” and “Dressed for Success” by Roxette, “How to Be a Millionaire” and “Be Near Me” by ABC, “Informer” by Snow, “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice.
Some show tunes – “Poker Face,” “Dream On”, and “To Sir With Love” by the Glee Cast
And an instrumental – “Requiem for a Tower Dream” by London Music Works and Clint Mansell (if you heard it, you’d recognize it. They play it a lot in movie trailers.)
I figured it was time to get some new tunes in the iPod. All the other stuff was getting a little stale. The majority of my music came from my CD collection, with several downloads thrown in for good measure. I keep it on shuffle so I can hear a different mix of music, but the same artists keep coming up a lot (probably because I have multiple albums). Hence the need for some new stuff.
There are tons more songs I want to get, and I’ve quickly learned how addicting iTunes can be. I went a little crazy with my first iPod (8GB…Babendude upgraded me to a 16GB for my b-day) and racked up a nice $80 bill in one day! Utter craziness, I tell you. As you can tell, I listen to a variety of music, with a few exceptions: No jazz (although I have one song by Michael Buble…and I have it because it sounds like a James Bond song), no country, and no every-other-word-is-a-curse-word type of rap.
So, who’s on your iPod?
