My thoughts: These really aren’t that telling. Take #9, for example. Country song. I hardly EVER listen to country. And that one is realllly Southern and twangy-barf. But, I did love that song growing up, hence its presence on my iTunes. #6, on the other hand…is pretty telling of my personality! I did live in Africa for a brief period! (Best time of my life, by the way.) #11…not so telling…I don’t tend to listen to party hits by myself. Plus, I don’t know why that song is still on my iTunes, it’s obnoxious. (Deleting very soon.) Songs 1 through 3 are dope as hell though…great songs. I love almost everything Miike Snow, and the other two are just flat out good songs. Numbers 13 and 19 are pretty telling of the type of stuff I do listen to. Light hip hop. My jam. #15 is good too-a chill song to hang out to/do work to. #16, #20, #21-yep, listen to them all the time. #23…mmmmhm, one of my favorite songs of all time. Reminds me of somebody special :)

If nothing else, this tells about the eclectic mix of music I spend too much of my time listening to. Particularly the beginning section—it started becoming more telling toward the end. I second guessed writing up this whole section about some of the songs, but screw it-I already wrote it.

If you want any of these songs available for download, leave me a message in the chatbox and I’ll post them. Now consider trying this yourself, and let me know it goes! Which 25 songs came up for you?
