I forever heart the Clash. Paul, you've gotta listen to Mike Doughty--former lead singer of Soul Coughing, and --I think-- also a former English major. (Perhaps you have already?)

Hehe. Nothing makes me more aware of being a different generation than when one of you bloggers starts talking music. But I'm cleaning my house now and listening to my iPod shuffle (mostly set up for workout music), so I thought I'd post my first ten in the lineup, though it's bound to make at least some of you snicker...

4. Gimme Some Lovin' - Blues Brothers
5. From the Bottom - Blues Brothers

Snicker away, but it's not a bad cleaning lineup. Bob Marley's on there too, but he hasn't come up...

What's in iPod?
Egads, it appears I'm always one step behind on technology, even though my fulltime gig is as a web program manager. Go figure....
Driving in to work today, though, I started listening to The DaVinci Code on CD. Does that count?

1. What I Am -- Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians
2. Carolina Rua -- Setanta

Paul, I saw Mindy Smith when she opened for Nickel Creek, and she did a spine-tingling version of "Jolene".
