hello all. here's a good'n'geeky game. i got an ipod for christmas, and with the stupidly huge memory decided i should pick some permanent selections for the device. the idea isn't to select the best records, or my favorites, or even to be representative, but just to select the things that will regularly make me happy walking the streets of manhattan (for example, erstwhile discs would make little sense since street noise would overpower them). i worked it to a list of 2 dozen just because that's how many lines were on the sheet of paper i was using. the beatles - rubber soul hoahio - ohayo! hoahio! optical*8 - bug otomo yoshihide - we insist! brian eno - another green world the rolling stones - some girls the clash - london calling sleepytime gorilla museum - grand opening and closing the slits - cut elvis costello - this year's model ornette coleman - dancing in your head prince - lovesexy stevie wonder - talking book guns'n'roses - appetite for destruction in order to survive - the peach orchard parliament - motor booty affair the residents - duck stab/buster & glen naked city - naked city pink floyd - relics henry threadgill - too much sugar for a dime the art ensemble of chicago - third decade johnny cash - live at fulsom prison charles mingus - mingus presents mingus sonic youth - evol as i type this, i realize i need to make room for cornelius. so, what are some other outdoor headphone picks? happy new year, y'all - kurt _________________________________________________________________ Worried about inbox overload?
