The Rules:
- Listen to the songs in alphabetical order.
- Skip any classical. It's good stuff, but doesn't fit my picture of this project.
- Skip duplicates of songs. I have multiple versions (live, acoustic) of several songs.
- Listen to songs I don't even like. (Why are they are on my iPod?)
To work on my writing skills. To keep up (OK, catch up) with technology. To entertain myself.
Topics-
Primarily, I'll list the songs I've listened to since the last blog. I'll point out lyrics I like or find interesting. I might discuss the song, the artist, the album. I'll probably come up with some "top 5" lists. I hope to go off on some tangents - expect some fits of nostalgia.
Listening-
I have a first generation iPod Touch, 16 gig. I listen when I take the dog for a walk, using a pair of Skull Candy ear buds. I have a long commute to work and use an iTrip.
What music I listen to-
Um, it would ruin it if I told you that now, wouldn't it? You'll have to follow along to find out. I'm sure the suspense is killing you.
How often I'll blog-
I have no idea.
How long will it take me?
I don't know. There are 2,936 songs on my iPod. I don't plan on adding any as I do this. (I have already blown through all the iTunes certificates I got for Christmas.)
Challenges-
My own inability to follow through on ideas like this. I might get bored, or decide I'm terrible at this. I might run out of things to say. It's very possible I'll be the only reader. I listen to other stuff, sports radio (3 stations in Dallas) and podcasts. My favorite podcasts:
- Dan Carlin's Common Sense
- Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
- A Way With Words (also a Public Radio Show, but not available over the air everywhere)
- The History of Rome
Now playing: Chicago - Beginnings
