Friday iPod Challenge, the "SHE LIVES!" edition

Let me make one thing perfectly clear: While I am indeed alive, I have no life whatsoever.

I don't even know how far behind I am on linking to stuff I've written, which I make at least some feeble attempt to keep track of here. I believe I wrote an article grading the cable networks on lesbian/gay visibility for AfterElton.com - I have the sole byline on it, but it was a collaborative effort with all the guys who are listed at the end as "contributing."

Then I boldy tread where no lesbian has gone before and wrote an article on the most groundbreaking gay male sex scenes on television. Apparently people actually like to read about sex, go figure.

So, I also blog over there on AfterElton... about the gaying of TV, about the glorious cheesy horribleness of Dante's Cove, about Hyatt Hotels not having the big gay love (I'm supposed to be following up on that story, but I had a three day headache and forgot),  about gay vampires on TV,  and a free movie about the history of queer cinema that you can download or watch online.

And next week I interview HGTV's David Bromstad.

So, that was the fluff. Now, for the substance. We had a live online panel discussion about the pet food recall with itchmo, petfoodtracker, thepetfoodlist, Gina, and me, over on pethobbyist.com. The transcript is here. It was wild, we had around 300 people come through.

If I listed all the blogging I've done on this subject at PetConnection in the last week, it would take up a lot of time I could spend more profitably shopping for shoes working, so I won't. Just believe me when I tell you, every time someone at the FDA speaks, my head explodes.

So, the iPod challenge. If you've actually read this far, well, just remember no good deed goes unpunished. Now I'm going to make you work.

You don't actually need an iPod. I just wanna know what you're listening to. I used to ask for a random playlist, but now I want the ten songs currently in heaviest rotation, or that you most recently played, on your mp3 or CD player, or heck, your tape deck or turntable, I am not a technological elitist.

Here are the last ten played songs on my iPod:

1. Baby's On Fire by Marc Almond (God, wasn't this on last week? I must like it)
2. Going to a Town by Rufus Wainwright
3. Caroline Says I by Lou Reed
4. Nessuno mi può giudicare by Caterina Caselli
5. Lover's Spit (Redux) by Broken Social Scene (this is the Bee Hives version with Leslie Feist singing)
6. Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedys
7. Coming Back to You by Leonard Cohen (I have no memory of listening to those two songs back to back; I can't believe I would have forgotten that)
8. Madam Butterfly (after "Un bel di vedremo" from "Madama Butterfly") by Malcolm McLaren
9. Glenview by Pansy Division
10. Boy (Acoustic) by Erasure

So, whatcha listening to these days?
