Filch It Friday: What’s On Your iPod?
I’m filching today from Lisa at Sweet Home Alabama. Anything to spend some quiet time with my iPod. I’ve seen this around and enjoy it not just for my love of all things random, but I like reading what people are listening to as well.
The rules are simple: Hit shuffle on your iPod, then answer each question by hitting next. NO CHEATING!!!

I did this randomly — the only time I reshuffled was if I got an artist twice. Looking back I like the results I got, although I’d like to shuffle a few around a bit.
Filch on, Folks!
Am I the only one without an iPod? My wife got a Nano as a gift and the thing is still in it’s box, as yet untouched by human hands.
As for my filch - I’m beginning to think that everything I do is a filch of someone else’s ideas. A conceptual plagiarist.
Get one, Clay. I fought it at first but now I couldn’t live without it.
Dood. I have a shuffle. No, you don’t know what song is coming and No, you can’t really do podcasts on it(it’s awkward) but OMG it is awesome when you are working out or trying to ignore the world around you. I LOVE taking the shuffle out to walk the dog or go to the gym. It is teeny-tiny and holds my current favs - Feist, Yael Naim, KT Tunstall and Brandi Carlile.
I love my iPod. I like your taste in music. I think I will steal this post someday soon.
I have a generic MP3 player, but I too love it (for I am cheap and po’).
I am but a poor third world child, so no iPod, but I am going to try this with my MP3!
i have some really pathetic music on mine. i’m 32 but my music says i’m 50ish. sigh.
Gosh I wonder if I’m disqualified I filched this idea and thought I saw it on a site on Meg’s list but when I looked it wasn’t there. I have no memory of the filchee. Has anyone ever seen it.
I remember his 5-10 was ground turkey. Oh Lord.
