My iPod, Nwanda

I have many loves in my life. One of them is my iPod, Nwanda. As many of you know, I had recently been seperated from Nwanda, and not by choice. One day she erased her hard drive without any living assistance, and I was devastated. (I did have my entire library backed up, btw. All 8,300+ songs. And if you're like the once non-believer, Helen, I can identify each song.) After much time on the phone with Apple and much time spent driving to Salt Lake to spend more time at the Apple Store, I am thrilled to announce that Nwanda has been replaced and life can resume it's normality.

On that note ♪, I was waiting for Rachel to come out of piano today and started reflecting on my week of torture, a.k.a. The Week I Had To Listen To CDs. I got to thinking - if I had to make ONE CD that had my top ten songs on it, (because I had no other option than to have ONE CD) what would those ten songs be? I like this twist on the whole deserted-on-an-island thing, not just because it's a new twist, but because it could be REAL. (That and I have an affinity for making lists and writing things down, thank you Jeff Earl.) Here are my songs, in no particular order, listed by title/artist.

Butterflies and Hurricanes - Muse
Lagan - Afro Celt Sound System
Memphis Skyline - Rufus Wainwright
Mike Mills - Air
Symphony No. 2 in E Minor, Op. 27, Largo - Allegro moderato - Sergei Rachmaninoff
Fotzepolitic - Cocteau Twins
Now We Are Free - Kelly Sweet
Requiem, K. 626: Confutatis - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The Land Of Might Have Been - as performed by Jeremy Northam
Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing - Incognito

I think I could be quite content with this playlist. I also made a list of my 10 CDs I'd carry around if I ever had to, but I'll save that for another day.
