Yesterday on Maureen Johnson's blog she talked about her Suite Scarlett playlist and that she had an iMix list with more music on it and becuase I love music I checked it out. Well I tried, I got massively sidetracked. On the iTunes music store page just below the iMix button is the celebrity playlist button. I realized that I haven't looked at that thing in forever. The celebrity playlists are mildly fascinating. Most of them I don't think are really what people are listening to, like I don't believe that almost everyone from our generation is listening to either stuff from the 70's and 80's or indie music from the early 90's. Yeah I'll believe a one or two songs but a whole playlist? I doubt it. Sure there are some things from all of those sections that I enjoy (actually I can't think of anything from the 70's, I'll have to look into that...or do I not really care that much? Not I should look into it.) but most all of my favorite stuff is from the late 90's and later becuase that's when I learned about music (I lived under a rock until about 1996 I think. When did Hanson get big? I think it was when I was in the fifth grade.) it's also interesting to find out who I have music taste in common with shockingly the two most similar people are Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) and Bob Saget. My new favorite person on there is Nicole Kidman who I agree with on about half of her songs but she wins because first on her list is a Silverchair song and if you know me at all you will know that I LOVE silverchair so anyone else who likes them is instantly awesome. I do have to say that in her blurbs for why she choose the songs she did Nicole Kidman's reasons where lame. I mean "Would listen to in car" isn't really a reason to like something. I would listen to just about anything in a car that's probably when I'm most accepting of music what with having to listen to stuff other people like and dealing with the radio you end up listening to all sorts of stuff in cars. If you can't listen to something in a car when can you listen to it? Seeing what people have to say about these songs is also interesting, while most of them follow Nicole Kidman's example some people actually put thought into it and that's something I like to see. Paul McCartney is in the "put thought into it" group and wrote whole paragraphs on a couple songs. Trouble was Paul McCartney is a giant name dropper, that makes no sense to me Paul McCartney is the name that should be dropped but he keeps talking about how he met this person or that person and he worked with this other person oh and when he was in the Beatles with John Lennon as if no one knew about that, it's very strange.
I was going to do my own playlist but I found out that's a lot easier to talk about then do so maybe I'll have one tomorrow. What are you guys listening to?
