Just for kicks

- Put the iPod on shuffle (in my case, put the Nomad Zen Xtra on shuffle)
- Listen to 5 songs
- Write how you feel about each one
1. Garrett Sparks - (Not So) Hidden Track:
I miss Garrett! I read his blog, and it’s entertaining, but I still wish we could have been in a band together for more than one night. This is his take on the Duck Tales Theme song.
2. Sufjan Stevens - The Upper Peninsula:
Is this my favorite Sufjan song? It might be. Great ambience. It’s the one that first truly sold me on Michigan. I sometimes play it as a lead-in to “Ghost Town.”
3. The Whites - Keep on the Sunny Side:
I guess the O Brother soundtrack was my first step into getting into some roots music. This song always makes me think about how depressing so many songs from thus era are. It also makes me think about my (late) maternal grandmother. I could picture her in a group like this, even though she didn’t play music as far as I know. Nice low harmony voice though.
4. Tom Jones w/ Steven Page - Little Green Bag:
Wow. It’s amazing what’ll pop up on a 30 gig. I don’t think I’ve listened to this song since freshman year at Centre. I like it though. I wonder how it came about. Steve really divas it up on this one. Almost better than the Welshman.
5. The Beatles - Happiness is a Warm Gun:
This song makes me realize I should listen to the White album more often. It’s also one of those songs that would definitely be on the “I wish I’d written that one” list. Mother Superior jump the gun!
This is fun. I’ll probably do it again.
