On Shuffle: A Look into My iPod (Part 1)

Really, the best way to see one's taste in music is to take a gander at their iPod via Shuffle. Of the 3000 songs and growing, if I shuffle it up ten times, something good must come up, right?

1. My Favourite Book by Stars
A vastly underrated band, and this song is a really good pop track. Not my favorite, but it's considered one of Stars' most popular.
Rating: 4 (out of five)

2. The Rock by The Who
I'm just not a fan of The Who. Maybe I haven't given them enough of a chance, but, just, no. Great guitar in this one, though.
Rating: 3

3. Tumbling Dice by The Rolling Stones
Lots of classic rock, eh? A very good song, but not something I'd listen to, too much.
Rating: 4

4. 7 Stars by The Apples In Stereo
This song is okay, but did you see that Pepsi Max commercial with 'Energy' in it? I swear, a few months I said that song would be perfect for a caffeine drink commercial. They heard my thoughts!

5. Is This Love? by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Possibly my favorite CYHSY song. Beautiful, yes, beautiful...melody? Is that what you call it?
Rating: 5

6. Rocky Racoon by The Beatles
A good Beatles song, and nothing more than that. I like how the vocals sound a little staticky.
Rating: 4

7. Computer Rock by Beck
Okay, this isn't really a song. Forty-two seconds of one repetitive techno beat? Yeah, um...

8. Faithfully by Journey
Open Arms is really Journey's only good song (in my eyes). Yet, for some reason I was inclined to buy their whole greatest hits so I got all this crap.
Rating: 2

9. Seen How Things Are by Elliot Smith
Never heard this one before. Smith has such an amazing, gentle voice. This is pretty by-the-numbers Elliot Smith. Which, of course, is awesome.
Rating: 4

10. Daria by Cake
(Off of Cake's mediocre 'Fashion Nugget') This one is full of excessive rhyming, semi-monotone vocals and a variety of instruments. And thats why I love Cake, so, yeah, it's pretty great.
