Friday iPod Challenge - something new

I was going to sit down and take stock of the last two and a half months, during which I have had an average of 4 hours sleep per night and had perhaps one full day off.

In those two and a half months I've put on my fifth Chat Week event over at PetHobbyist.com, gone to Austin for the South by Southwest Conference and Festival, judged my first (unofficial) dog show, and found out that the poison in pet food is not, at the moment, some metaphorical hyperbole from a raw food fanatic, but a literal statement of fact.

I've interviewed dozens of bloggers, actors, filmmakers, musicians, veterinarians, politicians, and researchers. I've even been on television three times, on the radio more times than I can count, and had the website I contribute to recognized in a Senate hearing.

I was told by someone I interviewed that I ought to write a book, and heard from a literary agent who offered to help me make that happen.

I also believe I've identified how long it is you can go on nothing but caffeine and adrenaline. I'm going to try to take the weekend off. (All my friends, editors, and colleagues are laughing at me now.)

Which brings us to this Friday's iPod challenge. I'm tired of the random thing. Please list the songs currently in heavy rotation on your mp3 or CD player, or hell, on your turntable or tapedeck. Embrace the low tech.

Ten songs I couldn't stop listening to this week:

1. Deeper Well by Emmylou Harris
2. Privilege (Set Me Free) by Patti Smith
3. If You Go Away by Marc Almond
4. Baby's on Fire by Marc Almond & T-Total
5. Angel (Live at Lillith Fair) by Sarah McLachlan and Emmylou Harris
6. Mathilde by Scott Walker (I'm clearly having a Jacques Brel kind of week)
7. Caroline Says 2 by Lou Reed
8. Oh Jim by Lou Reed
9. Pale Blue Eyes by the Velvet Underground (and a Lou Reed kind of week, too)
10. Is Your Love in Vain? by Bob Dylan

I showed you mine, now show me yours.
