Friday iPod Challenge, the Fandom is Exhausting Edition

Not sure I'll ever write about fandom-related topics again, it's really quite exhausting.

And I MISSED CELEBRITY DUETS LAST NIGHT  BECAUSE I WAS WRITING A MOVIE REVIEW! How can I live without seeing Xena Lucy Lawless sing again?

Oh wait, I was swearing off fandom forever. I'm not good at this, am I?

So, you know the story about the iPod challenge, which doesn't even require an iPod, but if it did, you might be able to win one! Yes, it's true, JeffB snatched this great iPod Challenge idea from me and  one-upped me big time by giving away a free iPod each month. Jerk.

Oh wait, I was telling you how it works.

Just set any mp3 player or software such as iTunes to shuffle all the music in your library and generate a completly random list of ten songs, no cheating allowed.

I love it when you do commentary on the songs, I find a lot of great music that way. But I'm barely keeping my eyes open right now, so for the moment I'll just have to post my random ten, the idea for which by the way I totally stole from Roxanne.

My Random Ten:

1. You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby - The Smiths
2. Young Americans - David Bowie
3. Bring on the Dancing Horses - Echo and the Bunnymen
4. Ambition - Doves
5. Ooh La La - Goldfrapp
6. That's the Way (I'm Only Trying to Help You) - Culture Club
7. Love Is A Catastrophe - Pet Shop Boys
8. Hallelujah - k.d. lang
9. Radio Ethiopia - Patti Smith
10. Boys' Chorus (after "La Sui Monti del l'Est" from "Turandot") - Malcolm McLaren

Your turn!

1. Calling All Angels by Jane Siberry and K.D. Lang. Beautiful song that Christie turned me onto. :)

2. Cracklin’ Rose by Neil Diamond. What could I possibly say about Neil Diamond? LOL.

3. Dainty June and Her Farmboys from Gypsy ... the Bette Midler version, of course. ;)

4. May We Entertain You from Gypsy ... see above.

5. Tango: Maureen from Rent. Broadway day, apparently.

6. Angels would Fall by Melissa Etheridge. Great singer, great song.

7. Frankie and Johnny by Sam Cooke. I used this for the pre-show music to a show I directed called, funnily enough, Frankie and Johnny at the Clair de Lune.

8. A Love Song by Anne Murray. I just love her.

9. Dance of the Bores from Elton John’s and Tim Rice’s Aida. Great song about fulfilling one’s role and dealing with others’ expectations.

10. Didn’t We Love from the Coyote Ugly soundtrack by Tamara Walker. Best movie ever that didn’t have an actual conflict.
