What Are Your 5 Songs In A Row?
April 16th, 2009 by Nick Truden in News
Every other week I put my iPod on shuffle and write about the first five songs that come up. I’ve been doing this for a few months now and the response has been more than kind and appreciated. However, now that I’m blogging for Creative Loafing I feel the need to change the tiger’s stripes a little and have some audience participation. I will continue writing about the songs that come up on my iPod at the 5SIAR website (5songsinarow.blogspot.com), but I will also post a different and slightly condensed one here at Tampa Calling. This is where you come in.
I’d like to receive some 5 songs in a row from readers. Just put whatever music device you use on shuffle, then leave a comment with the songs that played. Feel free to bend the rules here and there as I’ve done for the new issue due to be posted Friday. For example, I decided to pick the top five most played songs on my iPod instead of a random five. Every other week before I post a new 5SIAR, I will pick one user’s list of five songs to write about on Tampa Calling. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure it’s random. Every user name will be written on a piece of paper, stuck in a hat, and chosen at random. Eventually, as time goes on, I’ll offer a small prize to the person that is picked — maybe a gift certificate to a coffee shop or record store?
So get those iPods, Zunes, or whatever else you’re using on shuffle and give me five songs. Tell your friends. Tell your parents. Tell your exterminator.
