Mixing It Up
Posted By Ardellis on September 6, 2007
Back a couple of months, I got an MP3 player as a birthday present. Which turned out to be defective. When I exchanged it for another one of the same model, it was broken, too, but in an entirely different way. I know three is supposed to be the charm, but I just didn’t want the hassle anymore and outright returned the verdammt thing. It took me until this past weekend to replace it.
Up front: I’m a gadget junkie. I loves me some shiny electronic toys. So it’s no surprise that I fell head over heels with this thing, now that I have one that works. I knew that I would like not dragging a CD player along on my commute, not to mention the disks, but oh my freaking Gods, this thing rocks!
Is it a sign of brain damage that I think that this is a perfectly delightful playlist?
- Warren Zevon, Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner
- Great Big Sea, Let It Go
- Rosetta Stone, Adrenaline
- Sting, Fields of Gold
- James Marsters, Rest in Peace (from the Buffy musical episode Once More with Feeling)

- Kate Bush, Lily
- Concrete Blonde, Roses Grow
- Louis Prima, Angelina
- My Chemical Romance, Teenagers
- Johnny Cash, Hurt
- Jethro Tull, Hunting Girl
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at this post since you put it up (I check your blog pretty much everyday, you know) and I only just *now* noticed the title of the Louis Prima piece. Luigi has duly berated me for my woeful inattention to detail.
Tee hee hee. Angelina is the waitress in the pizzeria, you know. It’s a very cute song, and, yes, I first noticed it for its title, too.
