Friday iPod Challenge, Ask Me About the Internet Edition

I'm running out the door to talk about "The Internet" to the Dog and Cat Writers Associations of America at their annual joint conference... I think a little chat about blogging, a little chat about interactivity, a few sage words about Googleability, then I thought I might sing.

The Friday iPod Challenge is a little thing I stole from Roxanne at Rox Populi, one of the best blogs ever (and she has morphed it into a YouTube video version that's so very cool), and that was subsequently stolen by JeffB, who gives iPods away to people who post on his blog, so you know, post here then run quick over there and post on his and you might win one.

It works thusly: You set iTunes or whatever program you use to manage your music to randomly shuffle the songs on your player. You list the first ten that appear without any editing or creative interpretation of "the first ten." You suffer if you must, and let us know that you listen to Michael Bolton.

Hey, I have Abba's "Dancing Queen" on my iPod. I'm hard to shock.

Here's my completely random ten from today:

1. Can't Get Used to Losing You - The English Beat
2. Never Stop - Echo And The Bunnymen
3. I Should Tell You - Original Broadway Cast of "Rent"
4. You Can Sleep While I Drive - Melissa Etheridge
5. When Will I Be Loved - Linda Ronstadt
6. Need It - Johnny Marr & The Healers
7. Life During Wartime - Talking Heads
8. It's Only Time - The Magnetic Fields
9. Head Over Heels - Tears for Fears
10. Bird On A Wire - k.d. lang

Your turn!
