Some darlings in Texas gave me a $50 gift card to iTunes for Christmas and over the holiday weekend I was stuck in front of the computer trying to decide how to spend it. 50 songs? 5 CDs? All of Carla Bruni's French language album or just a couple of bon mots for now? How much Spoon does one really need? I was in a quandry, to be sure. But, after a spate of self-doubt and taking notes on which Leonard Cohen songs should be in one's collection, I finally gave in and dove in. Here's a small sampling of those that made the cut:
La Mer - Django Reinhardt
All We Are - Fischerspooner
The Divine Comedy's "Absent Friends"
I Predict A Riot - Kaiser Chiefs
Galang - M.I.A.
Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' - Michael Jackson
The Gambler - Michael Doughty
Rosie Thomas' "If Songs Could Be Held"
Lose Yourself - Eminem (!?!)
One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head
Goin' Back To Cali - L.L. Cool J
Yep. Just a usual day on the old iTunes.

I also recently discovered iTunes when I inherited The Boy's old iPod Shuffle. Very addictive. I must stay away... well, maybe one or two more songs won't hurt.
