So I got tagged by Sean Bonner to post the last 5 songs I bought on iTunes. I think this is supposed to be some kind of indication of what kind of music I like, and it works for the most part. However, I’ve been buying a lot of music in CD format lately so the results of this experiment are 1.) not really accurate and 2.) kind of embarrassing.
The last five tracks I bought from iTunes are from one album, the soundtrack to Spanglish. There is a song in the movie that has a great violin (possibly viola) solo and I really wanted it but you can only buy the entire album. So I did and it was well worth it.
If you want an actual sampling of what I buy on iTunes I can tell you the last 5 items. They would be
5. Spanglish soundtrack
4. a free sampler album from iTunes
3. episodes of Shear Genius (reality/competition t.v. show on Bravo)
2. Tracy Chapman – Fast Car
1. Gwen Stefani – Sweet Escape
I know this won’t help much but to balance it out I have also bought episodes of This American Life as well as a full Mitch Hedberg CD.
