Danmark is Denmark in Danish, and the book is a sort of encyclopedia of Denmark (the full name of the book translates as 'Denmark: country and people'). I didn't buy insurance on Phiggy, but she seems o.k. so far...I've had her for almost a year and a half now. And I believe the song playing was the Cat Stevens one. And, a question for you...have you named your iPod yet?<BR/><BR/>David, technophobes are alright...you can sit around the fire and play the fiddle and sing...or am I thinking of Little House on the Prarie? ;-)<BR/><BR/>Chloe, giving things names definitely helps. <BR/><BR/>Meow, thanks! I'd love to see your playlist, too.<BR/><BR/>Treespotter, you could do the same exercise, and I guarantee I'd be equally lost. I tend to only know the music that I have already.<BR/><BR/>Morose, that's why I like the full-on random setting. Do you really ever know what you might like to listen to? Sometimes your iPod might have some good ideas.<BR/><BR/>Hank, you should do your list...you could dispell the myth about dogs only listening to songs which refer to dogs (like 'Who let the dogs out').<BR/><BR/>Greg, Ana Ng to do dishes by...I hadn't thought of that, but I will definitely try it out.<BR/><BR/>Neil, I believe my socks normally match each other. Now, whether they match the rest of my outfit is another question entirely.<BR/><BR/>Jack, I'm glad you liked it!<BR/><BR/>Attila, isn't that always the way...we rediscover our parent's music, and take it as our own! Of course Monty Python is timeless....<BR/><BR/>Daphnewood, how strange! I made the cd's using iTunes, but as MP3 files. Maybe your cd player won't play MP3's?kimanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631078429676761765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-1149083741442872532006-05-31T15:55:00.000+02:002006-05-31T15:55:00.000+02:00how come Chloe's CD works that you sent and mine d...how come Chloe's CD works that you sent and mine doesn't? Not fair! Actually Mr. Daphnewood has it sitting on his desk and when he is on vacation next week he is going to see if he can get it working for me. How many songs do you have on your iPod?

My own I-Pod is broke-ish, rather it's caught in a swirling Kafka-esque whirlpool of software updates and used laptop registered to someone else.

I think it's a good thing. I'd love for you to do this exercise as well...you have some seriously good taste in music. <BR/><BR/>Daphnewood, look...the two commenters after you also used the word awesome...maybe they've been unduly influenced by your kids, too! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Nabeel, I'm not sure why Phiggy is a girl. Maybe it's to differentiate her from Iggy, who is a boy. Or maybe it's cause I'm a girl, and should therefore have girl things. And...have you thought of a name for your iPod?<BR/><BR/>Vesper, your list was fabulous. And Elvis is great...he's one of my favorites to see in concert as well.<BR/><BR/>Erin, you don't think this is what happened here? I like the songs here, but it does sort of put me into a mainstream soft sounding music thing which I don't feel I particularly deserve.<BR/><BR/>Mr. American, I'd love to see what you come up with. And Monty Python is a must for any music collection. <BR/><BR/>Connie, I so do not know any new music, basically because I never listen to the radio, or try to hear what's new. It's kind of sad, really.<BR/><BR/>Mary, I used to shuffle on my cd player. Shuffle on the iPod is the same, only more to shuffle from. And, I'm now on a hunt to figure out what it means to have eclectic tastes. I mean, don't we all get our style/taste/etc. from different sources at different times in our lives?<BR/><BR/>Maddy, yes, when Woody sniggles at his own jokes, that makes it for me, too. And let me know what you find when searching for the ones you didn't know...I should be doing that for all of your wonderful songs of the day, and I might do now that I have a bit more time.<BR/><BR/>Scholiast, I look forward to reading your post. And, all the Bowie albums? I'm so jealous...that was my teenage dream!<BR/><BR/>Day, never say never. I never thought I'd write about music either, but it just happened. And I've exchanged cd's, too...and the two who recieved my cd were very careful to let me know that they would listen to my cd later...and then never said anything about it! Makes me a bit nervous to send any more cd's out...clearly my eclectic tastes make for bad mixes!kimanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631078429676761765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-1148764425044257482006-05-27T23:13:00.000+02:002006-05-27T23:13:00.000+02:00I've got all Bowie albums...
