Gary's first ever IPOD PLAYLIST!
Drop everything, discuss amongst yourselves, hire me as a DJ, take my cue to some really cool, mood-transforming, thought provoking music. Man, I've come so far since my first music purchase EVER...a CASSETTE of Prince's PURPLE RAIN...followed quickly by my first 45s (yes, RECORDS, kids), Cyndi Lauper's SHE BOP and Rod Stewart's SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK. Yes, that's right. Problem? On with my list...
1) RADIO NOWHERE, Bruce Springsteen
2) BOSTON, Augustana
3) 4 MINUTES, Madonna with Justin Timberlake & Timbaland (*illegal French radio download, no longer available...THIS was actually the first song on my Ipod...though I don't know how I got it there...yes, I'm still learning)
4) READ MY MIND, The Killers
5) ALL THESE THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE, The Killers
6) BLEEDING LOVE, Leona Lewis
7) HALLELUJAH, Jeff Buckley
8) WEST END GIRLS, Pet Shop Boys
9) BETTE DAVIS EYES, Kim Carnes
10) STOP AND STARE, OneRepublic
11) FOOL FOR LOVE, Belinda Carlisle
12) PUMP UP THE VOLUME, M/A/R/R/S
13) NOTHING AT ALL, Heart
14) EROTICA, Madonna
15) SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT, Nirvana
16) INSOMNIA, Faithless
17) FIRST TIME, Lifehouse
18) CALIFORNIA DREAMIN, The Mamas & The Papas
19) LEARNING TO FLY, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
20) SINCE U BEEN GONE, Kelly Clarkson
21) CLOSER, Nine Inch Nails
22) MERCY, Duffy
23) CHECK IT OUT, John Mellencamp
24) MANIC MONDAY, The Bangles
25) TIME TO PRETEND, MGMT
26) SECRET CROWDS, Angels & Airwaves
27) WHAT'S MY AGE AGAIN?, blink-182
*Funny, only now do I realize the irony of RADIO NOWHERE being the first song I ever downloaded...it being about disconnectedness in the current distracted world we live in. And the last song, too...kinda amusing...no need to explain. And that Duffy song...I heard it for the first time ever last night on the radio in the car, was so taken by it that I couldn't leave the car to enter Walmart until the song was over. And then today, I see that it's the Free Download of the Week on Itunes! YAY! If you don't dig that tune, something's wrong with you...maybe more so than if you like Sara Bareilles. READ MY MIND just makes me feel so optimistic and wistful at once. Many of these songs do that. I AM melancholy, you know. Angels & Airwaves are fucking great...Tom DeLonge from blink-182's new group. And that MGMT song...which I also JUST heard for the first time on Saturday...saw the trippy video...that song is FUCKING AMAZING. Just makes me HAPPY...and I need to be happy. It just makes me wanna get drunk and dance in circles in a field. I'm itching to comment more (like, say, on my incredibly eclectic taste...and this ain't NOTHING), but I'd be here all night. I will NEVER erase these songs...they'll forever be The Basis of My Ipod...not to mention a reflection of me -- in general, but also The Me of March 17, 2008.
