I have two Ipods, but, on my newer Ipod touch [Which has my Top 10 percent (by play count) and New Age tracks from my older Ipod, and newer songs.]
I know we all claim to have the most eccentric Ipod collection. I submit the following:
Alpha:
Adiction – A Dialog excerpt from “The King of Kong, a fistfull of Quarters”, [Soundtrack disc of the DVD Documentary on obtaining the high score in the Arcade Game Donkey Kong. -One of the Gamers interviewed comments on how his gaming addiction is better than drugs and alcohol. The entire audio clip is 6 seconds long.]
Adiemus - Adiemus from the CD " Pure Moods "
Airwave - from trance/electro group Rank 1 (Single)
All That she Wants - Banghra Version – Ace of Base “The Sign”
Anywhere is – Enya “Paint The Sky With Stars”
Bottom Alpha:
Your Feeling Shoulders – Ray Lynch “Deep Breakfast” (New Age)
4 o Clock in the Morning – Lazard “Trance Party, Vol. 2”
9 PM (Till I Come) – ATB “Trance Classics, Disc 2” [New Age and Trance, that’s pretty much how I roll. Surprisingly, I do feel the two genres are so far removed from each other, that they do actually begin to meet again.]
9 PM / Don’t Stop*. ATB Essentially the same song as above, with another song “Don’t Stop” mixed in. As far as I can tell, this is a non stop party mix, and the two songs are back to back, not remixed.
100% Pure Love - Crystal Waters “Pulse” [90s Dance Club music. This disc also has Haddaway “What is love” – that should give you a good idea of the entire CD.]
100% Pure White Noise. Yes. Static. 60 minutes worth. – I have ADD, and I heard that white noise can help people with ADD concentrate better. IANAD, but I think that it does have some added value to concentration and alternately, relaxation.
Top 5 most played:
The Device has been Modified - Victims of Science This is a remix using music from the valve game “Portal”. GLaDOS and other robots offer up their quotes, over a slightly techno beat.
Surgerunner - YTCracker – Nerd Rap Entertainment System A Rap song played over “Old School” Nintendo 8 Bit Chiptunes. The Entire song is a plea to bring back the late Coca-Cola beverage “Surge”. FYI: The entire “Nerdrap Entertainment System” CD is a free download from YTCracker. Google it.
Runner - A deleted song from the motion picture “Paprika” - An anime that is parts Cyberpunk, parts interactive dreams. I found the deleted songs from the soundtrack after googling for Paprika. The movie is a total “Please may I have some more” WTF fest. IMDB has a trailer for it, and the song used in the trailer (The Girl in Byakkoya) makes my number 7 on my most played list.
Barbie Girl 2006 - Rob Mayth “Party Essentials 2006”. This is a VERY well done cover of the same song from Aqua. You either hate Aqua’s version of the song, or you love it. If you are with me, and fall into the second group, you owe it to your self to track down this song.
Pole Position - Rah - Best of Platipus: Euro - Insturmental Trance/Electronica with a good driving beat.
I also have “Lift up your Hearts” and “Martin Luther King Sings” from Michael Gregory on my Ipod, however, the Top 25 played list has no idea that the songs exist. – I would bet that both of these songs easily make it into my top 10, if not my top 5.
Lift up your Hearts is an “Auto Tuned” remix of Winston Churchill’s speech from Summer 1941. Imagine a Techno Churchill ““singing”” 'Lift up your hearts, All will come right, out of the depths of sorrow and of sacrifice, will be born again, the glory of mankind"
MLK Sings is the “I Have a Dream” speech, also “Auto Tuned”. Both of these songs need to be heard at least once. Very hard to describe with out “being there”.
If you have seen the “Auto tune the news part 2” clip from youtube, both of these songs are from the same guys. – The juxtaposition of History against technoized speech is one of those rare times where two completely far out things collide PERFECTLY together.
First five:
A Breeze from Alabama - Scott Joplin
A Call to Arms - Mike + The Mechanics
A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke
A Day in the Life - The Beatles
A Different Corner - Wham!
Last six:
Your Love Is King - Sade

The last 5 on my mp3 have Icelandic titles from a few Bjork albums and that I can’t figure out how to print, but starting at the end of Z I have:
Zum – Astor Piazzolla
Zro – Kukl (ahh!! Bjork again!!)
Zoom and Bored – Carl Stallings
Zoom – Dr. Dre and LL Cool J
Zig Zag – John Zorn
Wow-- who would have thought this would prove amazingly representative of my music collection?
I write Spanish words often enough that I’ve bothered to learn the keyboard shortcuts for basic accents, but for other strange symbols I’ve found that copy and paste works in a surprisingly large number of contexts.
