music is my boyfriend (2004)

perhaps the best iMix title I have yet to see.

Congrats to whoever made this mix. It's apparently based off of a terrible, terrible country song by The Hidden Cameras. Again, cool titles, terrible band. If you have iTunes, you should click on this entry's title -- it'll take you to the playlist itself (or should at least).

It's always interesting to dabble/see other people's taste in music. This girl - insert presumed heterosexuality stereotyping here - has some pretty good stuff. Great artists -- ex. Iron & Wine, The Killers, Devendra (yeah!), Ben Lee, Elvis Costello, David Byrne, Sixpence None The Richer (haha) -- but absolutely TERRiBLE selections by all of the aforementioned. What the hell was this girl thinking?

Clearly, she's sad and alone and making iMixes, but still - she should have better since than to put Bjork next to William Shatner, Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" next to the Scissor Sisters? I think I know now why she's alone -- she's lost her damn mind!

Just kidding. Isn't it funny though? I'm often amazed how bigoted I am. Here I am telling Ant not to judge someone because he's ugly and uncoordinated, and I HATE people for their musical taste. That's right, HATE...Antoinette excluded.

So I suppose the moral of this random tidbit is to not judge lest ye be judged...even though it may be very tempting to denigrate a stranger who has terrible playlist construction skills. Oh, and listen to more Elvis Costello. He's a good man.

done preaching,
