So many important things to post about today – the American Heart Association’s vitally important Go Red for Women campaign, the idiocy of Metro’s proposed cost-cutting measures, the malfeasance involved in the peanut butter/salmonella scandal that, among other things, included sending 32 truckloads of of contaminated peanut products to the free lunch program in our nation’s schools, the Michael Phelps saga, the roundup of blog-links I really liked this week, the squirrel that fell from the sky while I was standing on the sidewalk talking to my neighbor, or even how much I hated the underwear I was wearing earlier.

Instead, I’m going to explain to you what would happen to Husband if he was exposed to my ipod. Did you see that episode of Fringe where people’s brains were being liquified by a mysterious electro-magnetic force? That’s what would happen.

To demonstrate my terrible taste in music, here’s the playlist I threw together for an hour-long run today. The only criteria I used when scrolling through about 50 gigs of music was, “must be able to run to it for an hour.” Somehow what I ended up with was, “19 songs performed by women, plus 1 by the Chemical Brothers.” I don’t know what that means, beyond “Husband’s brain would liquify if he was forced to listen to this in it’s entirety,” but there ya go.

Rehab – Amy Winehouse
House Of Bamboo – Southern Culture On The Skids
Galvanize (feat Q-Tip) – The Chemical Brothers
Human Behaviour – Björk
Stupid Girls – pink
Girlfriend – Avril Lavigne
Hazy Shade of Winter – Bangles
I Hate Myself for Loving You – Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
SOS – Rihanna
Circus – Britney Spears
U + Ur Hand – pink
Disturbia – Rihanna
Genie in a Bottle – Christina Aguilera
Bad Word For A Good Thing – The Friggs (myspace)
Just A Girl – No Doubt
Things That Scare Me – Neko Case
Army of Me – Björk
Call Me When You’re Sober – Evanescence
Under the Gun – Supreme Beings of Leisure (myspace)
Girlfriend – Alicia Keys

I tried to publish the playlist to itunes but itunes didn’t seem to like the amalgamation of amazon, emusic and files ripped from CDs so we’ll see how that works out…I’ll post a link if it works out at all.
