What I would like to do is get someone else to trade iPods with me for about 2 or three months, however long it would take to go through all of their songs, on shuffle, each one, and for them to listen to all of mine. I would like to listen to each song and I would like someone else to listen to every one of my songs and then I would like to document the songs that I liked best and had never heard of and this, I feel, would really open up some minds. It would be mind blowing. Who wants to do this with me? We would have to make up some rules. Like, you can't skip a song and you have to listen to the whole thing all the way through even if you hate it and it is making your ears bleed. And maybe another rule would be that if they have a song that is already on your iPod, you can skip it but only to save time. Don't you think this would be a fun thing to do? I think so.
Conan O'Brien comes back on tonight. Last night I had the best dream about him. We were in Russia, with his sister. Everything was desolate. There were old abandoned tanks and barbed wire. But our spirits were high and it was beautiful. We had found some of Conan's old notebooks from school when he lived in Russia as a teenager, as he had in my dream. The notebooks were really funny. Some notes were written in bad Russian and some were written in English but they were often strange translations. The funniest was his russian sex ed class notes that described in detail the female genitals. Conan had drawn them crudely in the margins along with other genital representations. We thought this was the funniest thing ever, Conan and his sister and I, and when a tank that we thought was abandoned suddenly started turning towards us and moving forward we laughed even harder and ran with wild abandon across the country side, Conan still holding on to his old notebook with his hair flopping around in stark contrast to the grey landscape. And then I literally woke up from my dream laughing out loud.
His sister in my dream was of average height and did not have red hair, if you were wondering. I wonder if he really has siblings. Probably.

the ipod thing, brilliant idea, yeah I'd love to do that. Unless you only listen to:
a) death metal
b) RnB
or
c) mid 90's Country and Western
oh and I've got over two and a half weeks worth of music in mine, that's approximately 400 hours of back to back music, hope that's ok.
also you have to come to london as I'm a touch too busy to get to Uhmerka at the mo.
call me though and we'll arrange!
all I listen to is death mid 90's country r&b metal death country. That's all I listen to. That's not true. I listen to the best music ever and I'm luckily flying to london later today.
What a grand idea - to exchange ipods! i would do it but wouldn't send it in the mail. what if i just send you some CDs of mp3s that i like to listen to on the ipod?
that is the funniest dream ever. did you watch the triumphant return of the bearded Conan? I loved it. so much better without stupid monologue jokes (though, his usually aren't that bad compared to other late night schtick.)
i loved him singing karaoke of "Sabotage" like Edith Bunker :)
There is something I like about the idea of getting the iPod, not looking at the albums or songs or artists or anything and then just putting it on shuffle and being surprised. There is something I like about that idea. And I totally shit in my pants over Conan's rock band playing, sabatoge singing and his beard. I almost wrote a whole blog post about it and I was going to call it, "I want to sit on Conan's newly bearded face" but I thought that would be too crude and since he already had a run in with that wacko preist stalker I was worried that maybe he'd call the cops on me for electronically harrassing him.
