Random iPod Tips

If you're a music enthusiast like me, you have a lot of music in your library. Because I have over 20,000 songs, I can't possibly listen to them all but if I just listened to my favorite songs, I'd get bored pretty quick. I made a playlist of songs with a 0 play count. That way I know I've never listened to these songs.

Here's what I've randomly come across this afternoon

Exposé: Seasons Change


Seasons do change and so do people. I wonder how people explained turbulent relationships prior to this. This is a pure example that girl power was alive and well before the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child came into the picture. Again it's okay to listen to something like this because it's random and therefore comes across as classic.

Justin Timberlake: Losing My Way


Sometimes I think every song JT does sounds exactly the same. A couple of years ago, pop enthusiasts were all like "CLASSIC!" While it's very catchy and surprising that anyone spawned from a boy band has any musical talent to carry a solo career, I got half way through this song thinking it was "Cry Me A River" or "What Goes Around Comes Around." Real JT fans are saying, "Well, that's cause you don't know Justin!" And they're right. That's why this song has never been played and made it on this random playlist.

50 Cent: Many Men


GAAANGSTAAAAAAAAAA! I got into 50 Cent about 3 months after the rest of the world because I didn't need any more characters in my world of Dr. Dre & Eminem and truth be told, I kinda liked Ja Rule. One night in a party with 7 white kids changed that as they knew every word once the double quarter bounced in the intro. It's very refreshing to hear someone talk about how many people want him dead. Sometimes you don't even need to put a number on it...leave it at many men.
I've got to go now, Tesla just came on and it's hard to air guitar and type at the same time. Only one can win out.
