Since changing jobs a few weeks back, I'm now spending around two hours a day in the car. Most people think this will be torture, but I actually quite enjoy the time. On my journey into work, I listen to the local radio station, telling me what crisis is currently befalling the Bristol area. On my way home, I tend to switch over to the music on my phone and listen to that.
It was on a journey home last week when I realised what a bizarre selection of music my phone must contain. I'd gone from the classic rock of 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac, to 'Fantastic Day' by Haircut 100. I'm not even sure how that made it onto my phone! I decided I'd see what the next ten tracks were that it came up with. These are unedited and so please don't judge me!
The tracks that my phone decided I should admit to listening to are:
The tracks that my phone decided I should admit to listening to are:
- Starlight - The Supermen Lovers (the baseline actually made my car shake)
- Like a Star - Corinne Bailey Rae (beautiful, just beautiful)
- 7 Nation Army - Marcus Collins (not sure where this came from, but it's pleasant enough)
- Fire - Kasabian (I'm not much of a Kasabian fan, but quite like this track)
- Weekend in New England - Barry Manilow (honestly, I don't remember this coming on, if my phone was going to give me Barry Manilow, why not Copacabana??)
- Somebody to Love - Queen (I had a proper singalong to this)
- Can't Fight the Moonlight - LeAnn Rimes (must watch Coyote Ugly again!)
- Love Shack - The B-52s (bit of a summer song, it didn't really suit the M4 in the rain)
- Bodies - Robbie Williams (again, I don't remember this coming on, but given the amount of Robbie Williams and Take That on my phone, it's almost inevitable that something would be in the list)
- Lust for Life - Iggy Pop (good bit of rock to finish off my journey)
Now, let's see what music my phone has for me this week...
