ITunes Scrambler

After reading Dive's list of the first ten songs his ITunes spits out when set to randomly play, I thought I shouldn't bother because mine would most likely play pretty horn songs for me. But I was wrong. Here's what it gave me instead:

1. Slap Leather by James Taylor
2. Skater's Waltz from a Mantovani Christmas CD
3. Children, Go Where I Send you by Michael McDonald
4. White Christmas by Bing Crosby
5. Dead Wrong by The Fray
6. Melody of Love by Frank Sinatra and Ray Anthony
7. Planxty George Brabson from The Chieftains' Water from the Well CD
8. Miracle Drug from U2's How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
9. Play What's Written from Marcus Robert's The Joy of Joplin
10. Lost in the Stars--Judy Garland's astrocious Christmas Through the Ages CD

How bizarre! No Steely Dan tracks!

Oooh, The Chieftains! Hoorah!
And a worrying proportion of Christmas music there, Robyn. Your iTunes must have a Christmas obsession like mine has a Steely Dan fixation.

Christmas music? Still? Wow.

Dive, no Steely Dan tracks because they were never installed on my iPod to begin with.

Dave, (welcome) quite a difference between ABBA and Guns n Roses. I can't really talk though, considering the hodge podge of stuff I collect.

Sassy, weird, huh? I don't listen to Christmas music this time of year, but it's still in the big mix. I don't use the shuffle option very often.

I'm a shuffler. I almost did a shuffle post today before reading Dive's blog, but I decided to do the Week in Review instead.

I take charge of my own life and tell the machines what to play, not the other way around.

Funny that both my Blog and yers got on the UROJ wall of honour, congradulations we must be more similar than I thought.

Old Knudson, I don't know what your talking about. What wall of honor (honour)?

Scout said…
OH, I see, Old K. That's very nice of them. We really aren't very similar, though, except for the color scheme. I think JanieBelle and Kate have ecletic tastes.

my play list all got deleted by some strange freak accident. I had lots of drum corps on there. good thing they are all backed up.

Well, that's definitely an eclectic mix! Sounds good, though.

UROJ? of course I meant UDOJ, I'm so dense sometimes, no need to agree.

You can say that again, Robyn.

You should hear all the different music we listen to!

Classic Green Bean Bake

In anticipation of Thanksgiving, I feel I must post a recipe with plenty of good old American tradition. The classic Green Bean Bake was invented in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly, a home economist who worked for the Campbell's Soup Company. A study was done determining that 50% of all Americans have eaten the classic Green Bean Bake, and 38% of those believe it is best served during the holidays, mainly Thanksgiving. So, for the other 50% and for those in other countries where this dish may be unfamiliar--my treat: The Classic Green Bean Bake serves 6 to 8 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon soy sauce Dash of fresh pepper 1 20-oz. bag frozen cut green beans, thawed* 1 2.8 oz can French-fried onions -Preheat the oven to 350 F -In a casserole dish, combine the soup, milk, soy sauce and pepper. Stir in the green beans and half of the onions. -Bake until bubbling, about 25 minutes. Top with the remaining onions and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve hot. *Or cook 1 ...

Bring On the Bombs

In today's edition : I generally try to keep on top of cultural trends even if I don’t adopt them, but there is a growing movement that I have only just discovered. Not long ago, I was walking along in Berkeley, California while visiting my daughter, and I saw a signpost that had been covered with yarn, like someone had sewn a knitted scarf to it. It was colorful and randomly striped, and I pointed it out as if it were the most unusual thing in the world. That’s when my daughter explained the nature of what is known as yarn bombing. It’s when knitters attach something they’ve created to a public object, most often doing their deed stealthily and anonymously. They leave a “bomb,” so to speak, for no other purpose than to brighten up the place and to bring a little cheer to those passing by. Their work has been equated with graffiti, except that the woven yarn is not permanently installed and does no damage to the object it covers. And instead of signifying the territory of a street ...
