iTunes Rut
Sitting down to actually complete work that should have been done well before the start of ‘08 I booted the notebook and pulled up my iTunes. I must find something to entertain me while I average and enter grades. This is where I must say that playlists are great, but they enable us to get in a rut. We fail to realize that there is so much great music to be enjoyed! I pledged to update my playlists, skipped my usual (relaxing jazz, funky jazz, Terra Firma, Spyro Gyra, Pat Metheny, mellow mixes) and chose party shuffle. My tastes are laughably diverse, I will listen to anything. While I worked I enjoyed the following:
Tangled- Maroon 5
Wait A Little While- Kenny Loggins
Country Road- James Taylor
Here By Me- 3 Doors Down
Separate Ways- Journey
A Friend Like You- Big Daddy Weave
Low Rider- Terra Firma (Group out of Tupelo that I LOVE!)
God of Life- Mark Schultz
Somethings Missing- John Mayer
Trouble Sleeping- Corrine Bailey Rae
Love’s Never Been Like This-NewSong
Several of these fall on the mellow side of the party. I love music. My iPod has many songs by the artists above, but a few other favorites are Shawn McDonald, Paul Stupka (personal friend, taught with him several years ago), Phil Collins Big Band, Steely Dan, Bryan Duncan, John Tesh, Canadian Brass, Chicago, Denver and the Mile High Orchestra (Did you see them on The Next Great American Band!!!!), Jack Johnson, Santana, and so on and so on…
My next downloads will replace my long lost Aerosmith collection.
So what’s on your player? Are you stuck in a rut? Zune vs. iPod vs. Other? Had a Zune. Cool possibilities, but I swapped and love my iPod.
Did I mention that Kenny Loggins is so cool???

Been a fan of all things iPod for years.
The party shuffle feature of iTunes is very cool; I sometimes hit “Refresh,” then select all and “Create New Playlist from Selection,” burn it to a CD and drive.

Can’t be more weird than ours
Mine has all kind of weird mixes and I usually let the Party shuffle do the job.

Ok..I’m gonna go high school girl-ish on you for a moment….John Mayer? Maroon 5? *sigh with drool*
Huge fan of both and would consider leaving hubby for either…what? I said “consider”.
Love Jack Johnson tunes too.
