My Latest Playlist

I love music. Sometimes it's stuff I listened to in college, but more recently it's stuff that E has turned me onto. But it's a two-way street, since I've been around a lot longer than her and have a few cool favs up my sleeve.

I have a love-hate relationship with iTunes. I'm not crazy about song-fade, I wish I had more options about how to arrange my playlist, and I wish everything were in mp3 format instead of iTunes so my husband could listen to them on his Palm. Other than that, I'm a big fan. When E showed me how to burn CDs, it opened up a whole new world. I used to think I was technologically savvy, but that was back when I got an electric typewriter for graduation instead of the manual versions my brother and sister got. So burning CDs was a big step for me.

I don't speak French, although I wish I did, and when I try to my accent is really frightening. But I do love little cafe songs. The trick is to find songs that aren't whiny. If you've ever listened to Edith Piaf, you know how hard it is to find them. But I have a few on here that are pretty catchy and Tinkerbell loves to dance all over the house to them.

I'm also not a big original Rat Pack girl. Frank Sinatra gives me the creeps, quite frankly. But I do love covers of the old songs, and some Bobby Darin.

Enjoy!
