iPod owners: the tracks you don't want people to know you're carrying around

Anyone who has an iPod knows how wonderful they are, but have you ever stopped to think that yours could also be an incredible source of embarrasment, too? After all, carrying around 1,000 tracks, you're bound to have a few horrors on there that you can't reasonably justify but still can't help loving. At home, you can hide these records in between all your good ones and no one need ever know, but now all it takes for the darkest recesses of your musical tastes to be revealed is for someone to spin that touch-sensitive wheel in your absence. I thought of this while walking to the trains station listening to Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Phil Bailey the other day. What are yours, go on embarrass yourselves, we're all friends here!

If I had one, I'd have Drive You Home by The Cars, which I end up listening too off of my iTunes all the time.

When I bought the iMac off work, my colleague had a number of cds already imported into iTunes, and when I was deleting all the stuff I didn't want, I, erm, didn't delete the Norah Jones lp. And then it accidentally got onto my iPod. Honest.

(Stuff like the Phil Collins and Cars I wouldnt be embarrassed about AT ALL! I am currently enjoying the Belle Stars 'Sign of the Times' v much indeed with nary a flicka of shame.)

Weird and incredibly freaky you should mention the Belle Stars, I found myself singing that song this morning for some inexplicable reason... We got some Jedi mind thing going on?

four years pass...

By father just bought an iPod for my mom and I filled it with a bunch of stuff I had, including a "world music" playlist. When I showed her how to find her away around the device, I picked a song a random.
It was "Sell the Pussy" by Mighty Sparrow. I told her it was about a cat, but I don't think she bought it.
