A Snapshot of Me

So work has asked each employee to come up with 40 songs to be put on the company iPod to be played during the day. Sounds easy right? Ha! I feel like it is almost impossible to sum myself up in under 40 songs. But that the task calls for just that... what is on my playlist will play like a online dating website bio. People are going to judge me by the songs I list... or scratch their head not recognizing the names on my playlist.

I've barely touched my music collection and I'm well over the 40 spots I'm alloted. (Though I guarantee you I'll be sneaking in more songs than 40). It's tough, one because my choices need to be appropriate and appealing to more than just myself. Because of this I have decided to go the route of lesser known musicians that need some love. I have 5 local artists on my list that I bet no one has heard of unless you've had to listen to me gush about them.

There will be some hits ("Ain't no Sunshine" 'cause I love me some Bill Withers... Nason shush, I know, I know, me and my "depressing" music). :-) But for the most part I'm trying to fill my list with new music to the salon. Since I also have to make sure there's no inappropriate language in the song I've ended up listening to a lot of them from start to finish. Now it's a little past 1 in the morning and I have a 12 hour work day ahead of me tomorrow. Oops. Getting back in to this whole working full time schedule is rough after not being exposed to it for so long.

Any song suggestions of what you would like to listen to while getting your hair done?
