What are you listening to?
I need your help. I have 7 iPods and not nearly enough music to fill
them all. As I have admitted in the past, there are very few songs in the universe that I can tolerate listening to on
a regular basis - but I am sure there are more out there, worthy of my attention. Problem is, the only free time I have
is the time when I am already on the subway or walking the streets of NYC… listening to the same songs I already know
about, instead of sitting in front of my XM radio looking for new ones. Granted,
there are hundreds of songs I like well enough, but not enough to listen to more than once in a blue moon.
I rarely have the patience to browse and sample songs in the iTMS and I
only head over to allofmp3.com when I am looking for something specific that
iTMS doesn’t have. So I am asking you to do my homework for me, k?
If everyone reading this would please list (via the comments) the 5 most-played songs in their iTunes library, I’d
appreciate it :) I figure TUAW has a pretty broad readership so I should see a rather eclectic mix of stuff.
If I end up with enough songs that I really dig, I’ll even publish a TUAW
iMix of them and credit all the contributers. Deal?
[thanks to C.K. for helping me find the perfect image for this post.]

just add the entire Guided by Voices catalog to one of your Pods; my current 5 faves:
Surgical Focus
I am a Scientist
Chasing Heather Crazy
Beg for a Wheelbarrow
I am a Tree
...but since Bob probably wrote 5 songs in the time it took me to write this note, you better get downloading!
