What's on your iPod?

Friday June 22, 2007

Or your car CD player? I pulled an old favorite off my shelf: Matthew Sweet's 1991 power-pop masterpiece "Girlfriend."

You?

Sufjan Stevens. Two states down, 48 to go. He's a Christian singer I can actually enjoy (the Devil is so much more reliable musically.) Check him out, y'all.

I have to echo the earlier comment that an iPod can help cut down on the clutter. I got a 30 GB model and have been slowly going through my 300+ CDs and loading in the ones I want, and setting aside the ones I don't, so I can take them to the used CD store. It's really de-cluttering things for me. Plus, I don't have a stereo system -- I have a Bose sound dock for my iPod. It takes up very little space in my tiny little living room.

Anyway: I'm currently listening to 'True Companion' by Marc Cohn. After that, the next few songs are:

'Motion' by Jan Smith
'Watermark' by Art Garfunkel
'Philosophia' by Guggenheim Grotto
'Falling Slowly' by The Frames
'Songbirt' by Fleetwood Mac
