What's On Your iPod?
1. Turn on your mp3 player.
2. Hit shuffle.
3. Put the first fifteen songs that come up in a post. No matter how embarassing. No cheating!

I guess all the "cool stuff" sank to the bottom when I shuffled.
Rain King - Counting Crows
Warning - Green Day
Fallen - Sarah Mclaughlin
The first cut is the deepest - Cheryl Crow
Takes a little time - Amy Grant
What’s so funny about peace love and understanding - Elvis Costello

Behind these hazel eyes (acoustic version) - Kelly Clarkson
Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows
Gravity Fails - Bottle Rockets
Hero in me - Jeffery Gains

On Shmini ‘Atzeret me and a friend's aptmate and the aptmate's friends had a long discussion about what the heck does that Me and Julio song mean????!??!
Yes, the Kelly Clarkson is the most embaressing song on there, but it's the accoustic version which is not bad... really!
$5 says it's Elvis Costello we have in common!
Steg- that song is just a little NY story I think. They never do tell you what the boys got in trouble for but that's half the fun of the song.
I tried to make up for ignoring your last MEME invite by voluntarily baring my musical tastes for the world to judge. See for yourself...
Don't have a blog, an ipod, nor an mp3 player. Do have rhythmbox (mp3 player software) on desktop, and this is the top 15 (shuffled) from my most recent playlist. (Sorry, not really embarrassing... this is things I'll listen to at home with the kids around, so no Bette Midler or anything like that.)
1. Lonely People -- Mordechai Ben David (MBD)
2. Bavel -- from Almost on Broadway by Shlock Rock
3. Shabbos Day in the Park -- Gershon Veroba
4. The Master Artist -- JEP (Jewish Education Program? I think)
5. Maaminim Bnei Maaminim -- MBD
6. To Unite All Jews -- Shlock Rock
7. Mesechta #5 -- Gershon Veroba
8. Under The Chupah -- Shlock Rock
9. Imagine -- JEP
10. 49 Days To Count The Omer -- Shlock Rock
11. Tamid B'Simcha -- MBD
12. Late In The Evening -- Gershon Veroba
13. Daddy Dear -- MBD
14. Birthright Anthem - JJ's Song -- Shlock Rock
15. Yerushalayim -- MBD
I think I've just proved I'm boring.
It's forbidden to listen to music until the Beis Hamikdash gets rebuilt. It's the equivalent of eating a cheeseburger.
If they made me not listen to music until the Beis HaMikdash gets rebuilt (my Rav okayed it, consult your own), I'd be locked up somewhere. And my family would be in chaos. I go absolutely stir-crazy during Sephiras Ha-Omer and the Three weeks before Tisha B'Av (which is the point of avoiding music, then, I know) and even my littles feel the difference. We mourn better having music now so we can not listen to it then.
(Sorry, Shifra, if that counts as "feeding the trolls.")
I actually LIKE that Kelly Clarkson song...
Wow, Shifra, you're younger that I'd thought. It's interesting that our taste in music dates us.
Ezzie - how old did/do you think I am?!
Chuck - don't worry about "frumteens" he's just someone kidding around (although I wish I knew who it was!) Nothing to get worked into a lather over.
i love kelly clarkson!!!!
Oh I'm a lot older than 22!
Shifra is 32. See here.
Good work Mar!
I'm acutally 33 now, my birthday is on Sukkos.
Your musical tastes are generally more modern than mine, but I like a few of these, especially the Elvis Costello - "What’s so funny about peace love and understanding" is my favorite of his songs!
Unfortunately I can't play because I don't have an IPOD or a MP3 Player. Still living in the dark agres, I guess (my kids do have these things though).
Miriam P., I'm worse than you! I do listen to recorded music during sefira, but avoid live music. I wrote about it here.
I'm acutally 33 now, my birthday is on Sukkos.
Oh, right. I forgot to take that into account.
So Elvis Costello all around, I see.

Chuck--
I agree. I'm wasting my life on these blogs.
Shifra - I'm kind of new here, but I originally thought early-mid 30's. After your music post, I thought late 20's. I guess I was right the first time!
"Y.Y. said...
i love kelly clarkson!!!!"
I am thoroughly not surprised.

first, there was no time for blogging. then there was no time to touch up digital photos. now there's no time to rip my CDs for the iPod that i didn't buy yet. sigh.

Miriam P, I think you just made Lenny of Shlock Rock very happy (and wealthy too.)
Oh dear, I am way behind the times because I don't have either one. Chanukah Harry, if you are reading this...hint, hint!
