ipod-video-black-fixed.jpgI put my iPod on random and then write pithy comments about what’s being heard by me. Not that clever, but clever costs and I do this for free so be thankful.

Criminal by Fiona Apple from the album Tidal - She apparently wrote this song because she treated someone badly. At least the guy she treated bad got a cool song out of the deal. All I got when my girlfriend treated me bad was some cynicism and bruises.

Born Slippy by Underworld from the Trainspotting Soundtrack - This is the song that played at the end of Trainspotting. Trainspotting is about heroin use and I read where a family group stated it glorified drug use. I’m not sure if they stayed for the whole movie but after I watched Trainspotting I was leery about even taking aspirin. Call me weird but seeing a baby crawl across a ceiling isn’t appealing. Ever.

Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie from the album Hot Space - A good song. I would’ve considered it a great song had they not ripped off Vanilla Ice.

For all My N***** and B***** by Snoop Dogg featuring the Lady of Rage from Doggystyle -Whatever happened to the Lady of Rage? She rocked rough and stuff with her Afro puffs but I have a feeling she’s rocking rough and stuff at Long John Silvers now. “You want some muh f—- hush puppies?! Well?”

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis from the Six Feet Under soundtrack - People don’t have names like Shuggie anymore. Why not? I wish my name was Shuggie. “Sup ladies? I’m Shuggie.” Yeah, that doesn’t sound good at all. I take it back.

I’m A Slave For You by Britney Spears from the album Britney - How the hell did I get this? Seriously?! Great. Now my iPod probably caught white trash skank.

Two Step by Dave Matthews Band from the album Crash - This is Dave’s best album. It might not be my favorite but it’s his best. What is my favorite? Under the Table and Dreaming which was the soundtrack to my life for a good while but mostly because I spend a lot of time under tables dreaming.

Why Georgia by John Mayer from the album In Pieces - John Mayer has the biggest head I’ve ever seen. That’s nothing to do with his music, just thought you’d like to know. Here’s a picture of my friend Jason, who has a normal sized head, next to John Mayer. You make the call.
