I've decided to make my music posts on Tuesdays, in honor of the de facto release day for most new singles and albums. This will be a very organic series; meaning I may write about the oldie but goodie that the iPod played on Shuffle, new artist or album, playlist I came up with, or post a video clip of one of my favorite DJs cutting it up on the 1s and 2s.


I'll also post a weekly "iPod Check", which is something ?uestlove, the drummer for the band The Roots, started on their fan site, okayplayer.com. (OKP has won multiple Webbie awards, definitely worthin bookmarking) What happens is, everyone checks their iPod and posts:


  • Total Number of Songs
  • Your first 10 Songs listed A-Z and Z-A.
  • Top 10 Most Played Songs.
  • Last 10 Songs Recently Played.
