ipod meme

The original “Shaister” tagged me with the ipod meme that has been circulating the blogosphere over the past few weeks. The mission was to hit the shuffle button on your ipod and make note of the first fifteen songs. Thankfully I lucked out and will avoid embarrassment because none of my guilty pleasures showed up.

As you can see I’m a sucker for a good pop song.

Miracle Drug – A.C. Newman (Slow Wonder)
That Year – Uncle Tupelo (No Depression)
I’m the Man – Joe Jackson (Steppin’ Out – The Very Best of Joe Jackson)
I Need Direction – Teenage Fanclub (Howdy!)
Dirt – The Stooges (Funhouse)
Middle School Frown – Josh Rouse (Nashville)
I am the Rain – Firewater (Get Off the Cross)
She Said She Said – The Beatles (Revolver)
Panama City Motel – Sugar (File Under Easy Listening)
Ordinary Girl – Material Issue (Freak City Soundtrack)
Jealous of Your Cigarette – Hawksley Workman (Last Night We Were the Delicious Wolves)
I’ll Be Comin’ Around – The Bottle Rockets (The Brooklyn Side)
The Sun Shines Down on Me – Guster (Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered)
Curtain Calls – Old 97′s (Too Far to Care)
Jet Boy – New York Dolls (Glamorous Life: Live)
I’d Run Away – The Jayhawks (Tomorrow the Green Grass)

I would tell you about where I was when I first heard these bands and what these songs mean to me but I’m not that self-indulgent.
