I was going to write a little about music that I like... but how to do that without getting boring, or long-winded (a big risk, since I like lots of different stuff)? Hmmm, how about the first 10 songs that come up on my ipod when I put it in shuffle mode? Ok, here goes:
1. Heartspark Dollarsign by Everclear. I bought this CD because I liked the song Santa Monica, and was into several of the songs for a while. Might be a little angst-y for me now.
2. I heard it through the Grapevine by Credence Clearwater Revival. A classic. Lots of what I have is this kind of "classic rock".
3. For the Girl by The Fratellis. This is a fun band. One of my favorites right now. I think this is the only entire album I've bought on iTunes.
4. Walkin' After Midnight by Patsy Cline. A little more classic than most of my classic rock, but a good song.
5. The Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim. If they can make Christopher Walken dance, they must have something good going on.
6. D'yer Mak'er by Led Zepplin. A great rock band. I have at least 6 (maybe 7) of their albums on CD. Lots of great songs.
7. The New Style by The Beastie Boys. I loved this album when it came out. But I didn't really follow the Beastie Boys after Licensed to Ill, but recently I've picked up a song or two from their newer stuff.
8. Serenade No 13 in G, K. Eine kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart. I usually don't listen to this on my ipod -- I typically skip it. Once in a while, I'll put it on when I'm doing something else around the house, or put it on for the kids at night.
9. Join Together by The Who. More classic rock.
10. Outta Love Again by Van Halen. Possibly my all-time favorite band. I have all the older stuff and some the Van-Hagar stuff.
That's a pretty good sampling, but really just scratching the surface. I didn't hit any metal or country or other genres, but maybe next time.

I really like your blogs, very interesting stuff. I had to comment on the music because you run in all different directions. Beastie Boys not quite sure, but I have a CD of Instrumentals they did call "The In Sound From Way Out" it is probably on of my favorites. Also try Carl Orff "Carmina Burana" Many pieces of this have been in movies, I personally like "XXV O Fortuna".
Look forward to your next blog.
Thanks for the comments! I really appreciate all the feedback.
