@ Michael –

I’m with you 100% on Rust in Peace. And Bjork for that matter, though I was a pretty big fan of Homogenic as well.

@Anne Oh, I agree, definitely. When he started bopping around the house to Foo Fighters' "The Pretender," I knew I'd done SOMETHING right. :^)

Rob–I have a lot of my daughter’s music on my iPod too. It can be annoying but the good side is that occasionally I can slip in some good music for her to listen to along with the overplayed pop.

Say You’re Mine – Venice Malki
Bette Davis Eyes – Kim Carnes (somehow I have three copies by Kim, one acoustic, and a cover version by Sexton Blake LOL)
How to Grow Up Big and Strong – RIch Mullins
The Shoe’s on the other foot – Scotty Campbell (suprisingly good country guy from Canada)
5 O’Clock in the Morning – The Donnas

And because it was playing while I was typing this up in Notepad:
All N My Grill (feat. Big Boi & Nicole) – Missy Elliott

No wonder I’m not allowed to play mix tapes in people’s cars…

And another while I was waiting for the comments page to load:
All The Pigs, All Lined Up – nin

For giggles i filtered on nin…I have 15.5 hours of his stuff, 195 songs…LOL

1. Pista 22 from Act 2 of the Catalan version of Sweeney Todd. It’s right at the climax, when Sweeney realizes exactly who’s about to be thrown into the oven. (Technically, it’s the Spanish version, performed by a Catalan company. Unfortunately, the only words I recognize are “Sí, Señor Todd.”)

2. “I Want You Back” by Anne McCue from “Roll” (2005?) Nice Australian alt country.

3. Mozart, “La Ci Darem La Mano” from “Don Giovanni.”

4. “Turning Colours into Greys” by Paper Moon from “Broken Hearts Beat Faster Every Day” (2007). I got this from the SXSW site a couple of years ago, and I really like this band.

5. “The Story” by Tristan Prettyman from “Twentythree” (2005). I sort of “borrowed” this from someone I work with. I have yet to listen to it, so I don’t know if I like it or not.

1. Thin Lizzy – The Boys Are Back in Town. Cuz on occasion I like to drink beer and rock out. All alone, of course. It’s kinda sad, actually.
2. Justin Timberlake – Summer Love. Cuz all my kid’s iPod stuff is in my iTunes. Gotta remedy that.
3. Rolling Stones – She’s So Cold. See Number 1.
4. Aerosmith – Big Ten Inch Record. My least favorite song off Toys in the Attic, but I can’t rip the whole thing minus one song — it just wouldn’t be right.
5. Silversun Pickups – Growing Old is Getting Old. Cool atmospheric stuff from a record (Swoon) I should really give another listen to.
