Move it like you stood in something nasty

Joe asked me to fill up his mp3 player entirely with my music for his trip to China, essentially asking me to dictate what he listened to for three months. I was pretty honoured by this faith in my taste so took the whole thing very seriously. I knew from the beginning that i was going to completely ignore joe's taste, in a non-obnoxious way. Firstly, i dont really have much belonging to joe's taste and secondly i thought it would be refreshing and interesting for joe to have someone elses music as his form of escapism abroad. Would my favourite songs become as important to him if they were all he had? Anyway here is the list of the songs i put on it, amounting to 128mb exactly. It's not exactly my 'desert-island-discs' list, more of a list of songs that i feel sum up the various types of music that i love and the genres i'm most interested in. But there are, however, some pieces of music here that are indispensable to me and undoubtedly some of my favourite songs ever, and i absolutely love every song here.

So yeah-no punk, no girl groups, no metal, surprisingly. I'm not sure why these types of music, all of which have at some point dominated my life, just didnt turn up. Sad, in a way.

Some songs which would have turned up if i'd had the internet last week and thus the ability to rip them from youtube:
Body Movin' (Fatboy Slim remix)-Beastie Boys
I Wanna Dance with Somebody-David Byrne
Hot Stuff-Donna Summer
Something Good 08-Utah Saints (i considered putting only this on the mp3 player but thought that maybe, maybe it would get tiring after three months of nothing but. still not sure though)
