Chantal's music meme

Chantal, with one of the best blog names that I've ever seen, (Bread Crumbs in the Butter) has a great meme up.  She just bought an iPod, and is having tons of fun downloading music.  You all know how much I LOVE my iPod.  It's truly the best thing that I've ever owned.  Music, only $1 a song - and I can take the music with me everywhere?  What's not to like?  I love making playlists for different events, and take it with me pretty much anywhere I go.  My only problem is keeping it charged.

Instructions: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what they are. They must be songs you are presently enjoying.  Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.

So here are the tunes I've been enjoying lately:

1. Yeah - A tribute to Usher - Various Artists
2. Sing, Sing, Sing - Benny Goodman Orchestra
3. Rio - Duran Duran
4. Train in Vain - The Clash
5. Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
6. Boston - Augustana
7. Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
8. (I know, only 7, but I never follow the rules!)  Thunder - Nuttin but Stringz

Obviously, no rhyme or reason there.

Who am I tagging?  Um, everyone.  Consider yourself tagged!  Tell me your favorite songs!  What would you recommend a newbie put in their iPod?

I just bought my ipod today. I out a ton of stuff on my list already.

I LOVE Sing Sing Sing. That's actually the ringtone on my cellphone. :)

(Love Train in Vain & Rio as well!)

One of the teams my daughter dances with is doing a funked up version of "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" and Erin's team is dancing to "Hit Me With Your Best Shot." Cutest dances ever!

Have you tried yoga pushups? They're a good varation of the old standard.

Place your hands under your shoulder, as always, but make sure your fingers are all facing forward. Keep your elbows tucked in close to your ribcage. Then go down and up, focusing on tucking the elbows in. The pushups suddenly become much more concentrated in the biceps and much less in the pecs.

I only use my iPod shuffle on the treadmill, so I need very fast paced songs.
1. sing, sing, sing.
2. Pain, without love (Three Days Grace).
3. Enter Sandman.
4. Ladies and Gentlemen(Saliva).
5. Pump It (Black Eyed Peas).
6. American Woman (Lenny Kravitz).
7. The Master Plan (Oasis, from the CSI: Miami Soundtrack).
8. It Don't Mean a Thing, if you ain't got that swing.

Kind of an ecclectic mix, and those aren't all the songs on there.

I must be wierd. No ipod. Mostly I listen to NPR in the car, unless we listen to kid's songs (at the moment it is a toss up between Johnny Cash children's album and TMBG). Jogging (when it occurs) is usually just me and my thoughts and the the sound of feet pounding the pavement. It is quite satisfying. (Perhaps because I grew up a swimmer - movements coordinated with the water - compare to you, a dancer, movements in touch with music.)

writing mine up now! great idea.

[Sky]

1) Wild Horses - natasha bedingfield
2) Geek in The Pink - jason mraz
3) To the Dancers in the Rain - Emilie Simone
4) Dirty Laundry - Bitter:Sweet
5) Rainbow - G Love and Jack Johnson
6) Streetcorner Symphony - Rob Thomas
7) For You I Will - Teddy Geiger
8) Lonely Train - Black Stone Cherry
9) Here Without You - 3 Doors Down
10) You Must've Fallen - Ben Taylor

I guess I should stop at 10 since my "favorites" list is 236 songs!

Please hop on over to Kelli in the Mirror's blog and wish her a very Happy Birthday!

6. The Same Thing/Sly & the Family Stone
7. New York, New York/Frank Sinatra
