Turn on your iTunes or iPod (or whatever is the closest thing for you). Now, hit SHUFFLE, and tell me what 7 songs come up first.
No cheating! This is not about sharing your favorite, brag-worthy taste, it’s about catching you off guard and seeing a hidden side to your personality.

Wednesday, you may just be transformed by my guest, Danny Gregory, who will tell his story of realizing he is an artist and letting that part of him step forward.
This is from the back cover of my very dog-earred copy of THE CREATIVE LICENSE:
For years, author Danny Gregory told himself he wasn’t, couldn’t be an artist. But when a crisis made him reexamine his priorities, he saw he’d been speeding through life and missing the view. So, in his late thirties, he picked up a ballpoint and taught himself to draw. The result was a whole new perspective on life – which he now shares in this beautifully illustrated program for reconnecting to our own creative energies.
He gently instructs us in the art of allowing ourselves to fail, giving up the expectation of perfection and opening our eyes to the beauty around us. The result is THE CREATIVE LICENSE, a wild celebration of amateurism, full of humor, passion, and encouragement, sure to inspire every doodler, frustrated writer, wannabe musician, and midlife-crisising executive – in other words, the artist inside every one of us.
Looking forward to sharing Danny and his story with you. See you Wednesday!
Lori Oliva
October 23, 20061. Cat Power: He War
2. Black Keys: 10 am Automatic
3. Oasis: Wonderwall
4. Led Zeppelin: Immigrant Song
5. Ester Drang: How Good is Good
6. Gorillaz: Dare
7. Steve Miller: Jungle Love
Those songs should tell you a little bit about my hidden side. I am attracted to many different styles and appreciate many different ways of life. At the risk of sounding too cosmic (which is another secret side) I have a lot of Scorpio in my chart. The Scorpio influence is intense, passionate and secret. I’m a very private person. There are experiences I pursue that I don’t want anyone to know about, mainly because the complete solo experience recharges me.
Myfanwy Collins

October 23, 2006I’m still using eight track tapes…
Lance Reynald
October 23, 2006lol….this is gonna be embarassing.
California Dreaming- DJ Dammy
Life of Leisure- Rainer Maria
Miss Misery- Elliot Smith
Besame Mucho- Cesaria Evora
Unconditional- The Bravery
Come On Eileen- Dexy’s Midnight Runners
Feeling Good- Nina Simone
wow, I think that just shuffled up far cooler than I actually am…..lol….Clearly my iPod works for me.
Lance Reynald
October 23, 2006ooops. that first one would be DJ Sammy. (not that anyone is going to run right out and add it to their collection, but those pre-coffee typos always get me.)
Worth throwing this out there, but Po Bronson had a book out a few years ago that might just tie in here…”what should I do with my life”- very cool tales of people transforming their lives to what they dream of, a series of interviews with those who were brave enough to leap. (I think Po is over at MySpace now.)
Gail Siegel
October 23, 2006I don’t have an ipod.
Robin Slick
October 23, 2006Ha ha ha – I lucked out. None of my lame choices came up. So now you’ll never know what I really listen to when the family isn’t around to make fun of me:
(1) Todd Rundgren – We’ve Gotta Get You a Woman;
(2) Johnny Cash – Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover)
(3) David Bowie – Stay
(4) Pete Townshend/Eddie Vedder – Heart to Hold On To
(5) Richie Havens – cover version of Jackson Browne’s Blood on the Wire (and yes, I know there are those of you who may be shuddering at that and saying Robin, what do you mean you aren’t lame? Right. It’s true. I love Richie Havens.)
(6) John Entwistle solo – Too Late The Hero
(7) Clash – Rock the Casbah
Okay, I’m gonna come clean. If you ever get hold of my iPod, you will also find cuts by ELO and Carly Simon. You have permission to shoot me over Carly, but it’s her early greatest hits and includes You’re So Vain, etc. The ELO stuff is old when Bev Bevans was still drumming with them and Jeff Lynne was at the height of his creativity. So there.
Oh alright. Yeah I have a totally uncool side. I also like ice hockey. But even worse, I liked ice hockey way better when the players didn’t wear helmets and had bloody brawls in every game. Hey, how did your son make out Saturday night singing the National Anthem at the hockey game? Any photos? (ha ha…as if you don’t have photos)

Rob
Jim
October 23, 2006Okay, I use my mp3 player mostly for author interview podcasts, so there is limited music on it. But I hit music shuffle, and here’s what I got–
Every song is performed by Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, all from live performances in 2004 and 2005:
1 – Everything Is Free (How appropriate is that!)
2 – You Are My Flower (Sam Bush with Gillian Welch)
3 – Take a Load Off Annie (GW and DR, maybe with Old Crow Medicine Show?, live 2004)
4 – Miss Ohio (GW with Sam Bush, live 2005)
5 – I’ll Fly Away (GW and DR and Emmylou Harris, live 2004)
6 – Caleb Meyer (Rawlings absolutely shreds the guitar live!)
7 – Red Clay Halo (live 2004)
ps – as a teen, David Rawlings practiced guitar in my basement.
Megan
October 23, 2006Lance gave an ipod for my birthday a couple of years ago. I love it, it’s pink and girly.
Unfortunately I still don’t know how to use it.
Jordan
October 23, 2006Well, when you consider there are 2000 songs on my ipod (actually in my itunes, my pod just died a sad hard drive death), I think this 7 song spread is actually a pretty good representation of me and my tastes, though the omni-presence of Ani will make many think I am a bit “crunchy”.
1. In or Out–Ani DiFranco
2. La Vie, L’amour–Edith Piaf (no joke–I love Piaf!)
3. Next to You–The Police
4. Hello Birmingham–Ani DiFranco
5. My Lover’s Gone–Dido (why does this one embarrass me the most?)
6. The two sides of Monsieur Valentin-Spoon
7. String Quartet in G Minor. Andante Cantabile. Mozart “Haydn Quartets”
jolene siana
October 23, 2006I’m working on a project involving the band VAST so they’re just about the only band on my ipod shuffle, otherwise it would be more intersting and varied. Maybe I’ll submit another set when my ipod is normal.
At the moment:
1. VAST Candle
2. EDDIE MONEY 2 Tickets to Paradise
3. VAST All I found was you.
4. VAST A better Place
5. VAST I need to say Good-bye.
6. DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE Soul meets Body.

3. Moby: Why does my heart feel so bad
4. Queen: Seaside Rendezvous
5. Radiohead: In limbo
6. Frank Zappa: Joe’s garage
7. Coldplay: In my place
Carolyn Burns Bass
October 23, 2006My iPod is not my own. I share with my husby and my son. We’re kind of an eclectic family. Husby’s pod is loaded with just about every song by the Beatles. My 17-year-old son’s is all over the place and he has excellent taste. Alas, both are out of my reach right now. Perhaps it’s time I get my own.
Anneliese
October 23, 20061. Baby I Love Your Way – Peter Frampton
2. Boogie Shoes – K.C. & the Sunshine Band
3. Carouselambra – Led Zeppelin

October 23, 2006Ooh, this is fun! It’s like I caught you all in your underwear. Jim, Gillian Welch came up on my shuffle, too, but I’m not posting my list till Friday.
For those of you without iTunes and iPods, tell me what tapes and CDs you have in the car. Everyone gets to play.
robert westfield
October 23, 20061–Abolicao (from “Burn” Ennio Morricone…good start)
2–Track 8 (don’t know the song…by the Tiger Lillies…who knew it was on my ipod?)
3–Love (Lena Horne…nice)
4–59th Street Bridge (Simon and Garfunkle…classic)
5–I Don’t Want to Say Goodbye (Teddy Thompson)
6–Your Daddy’s Son (Audra McDonald, Ragtime…damn it! I knew a showtune would pop up.)
7–‘Tween a Rock and a Hard Place (Floyd Collins…showtune #2)
Gail Siegel
October 23, 2006I drove to and from a reading in Michigan this weekend, and took the first book on tape that I’ve ever tried to hear — The Fourth Hand by John Irving. It was okay — I didn’t like the reader’s voice at all. And then at some point it was apparent that they’d skipped a chapter.
I grabbed some CDs and didn’t listen to them so I can’t remember what I took. Oh, Etta James. My daughter has stolen all my favorite CDs anyway. My car is full of HER CDs, and it’s in the shop, so I don’t know what’s in my car.
In the kitchen I have a Madeline Peroux CD in the player.
Aurelio
October 23, 2006I am iPodless, but it doesn’t matter because there’s an annoying little crinkle in my brain that runs random tunes through my head, whether I want it to or not.
Abba’s “Fernando” is stuck there right now. (Please make it stop….)
LaurenBaratz-Logsted
October 23, 2006“For those of you without iTunes and iPods, tell me what tapes and CDs you have in the car.” – But I can’t do that either! As my daughter tells my husband, “Mommy don’t need no stinkin’ CDDDs [extra D’s, hers]!” We listen to the radio. And sing loud.
In my MySpace profile I list Warren Zevon and Frank Sinatra, going on to add, “not necessarily at the same time.” One of my first MS experiences was when a new friend there asked me for specific songs; when I gave them to him, he told me he had a huge dual sound system and later on that night blasted “The Way You Look Tonight” and “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner” out into the Arizona night.
I love that. Wish I could have heard it.

KASPER
October 23, 2006I don’t own an IPOD and have never used or even handled one. They look like fun. Here are the last seven things I played this morning on my cd / stereo set in reverse order:
1. Bach: St John Passion/ Peter Schreier, conductor.
2. Kind of Blue/ Miles Davis Quintet
3. Aire Latino/ David Russell, guitar
4. Haydn Sonatas/ Glenn Gould
5. Bach Partitas/ Glenn Gould
6. Stabat Mater / Pergolesi
7. Symphonies 8 and 9/ Gustav Mahler/ Bernstein, conductor
But, Susan, as you know I have a huge appetite for jazz, folk music, bluegrass, country, all ethnic and “world” music too. I’ve been playing John Williams’s guitar adaptations of traditional African music a good deal lately.
Thanks for asking.
–K
p.s. I don’t play much rock music these days but judging from what the students in the inns, cafes and other vending areas at the university are playing while I am purchasing things there, rock has enjoyed a robust injection of tuneful, imaginative energy lately. I hear many things that please and challenge my ears.
–K
teresa
October 23, 2006We’re all like rabid dogs when asked to provide music lists! Grrreat!!! Here’s me:

4—-Very by The Pet Shop Boys

Susan Henderson
October 23, 2006Lori – What a great thing to know about you. Not to get hooey-hooey either, but I am ALL Aries.
Myfanway – Do you think there’s a better, more emotional album than Jeff Buckley’s Grace?
Lance – I have that Po Bronson book! And don’t worry, I know behind that cool shuffle is the same old geek I love.
Robin – I like your lame choices, too. Bach-Boy was disappointed in his performance. 🙁 What else is new?
Jim – Which author interviews have been good?
Megan – You have to learn how to work that hot pink thing!
Jordan – Your list is way more sophisticated than mine.
Jolene – Now I have to look up VAST.
Richard – Hi! I adore Seaside Rendezvous.
Carolyn – Come back when you get your hands on that iPod. That’s fun to have your music mixed in with your kid’s.
Anneliese – I just got one of your songs stuck in my head!
Robert – It’s great to see you here! I love your completely random list.
Gail – Isn’t that unnerving when the wrong voice reads a book? Hey, write to me about all the political stuff happening near you, unless you can say here. I’ve been thinking of you the past 2 days.
Aurelio – I had a feeling you’d be the first person to bring up ABBA.
Lauren – I’m glad you found a way to play the game, but we’ve got to get iPods for you and Gail!
Mikel K – Ha ha! I was just thinking, I KNOW Mikel won’t keep his list to 7. (I won’t either – you’ll see on Friday!)See, you and I can both go from John Prine to RuPaul, very nice!
Kaspar – You need to get to know Robin because the two of you have the jazz connection as well as enormous collections of instruments.
Teresa – I’m glad you’re here because I’m putting together a roundtable of indie booksellers, and you have to be part of it. If you know of folks you want me to include, just drop me a note.
Everyone – I’m going to poke around on iTunes and sample the songs you listed. I just love the range of songs here and that I can get a flavor of each of you. Fun!
Sarah Roundell
October 23, 2006Some good and varied musical tastes in the Park today! This was fun. Wednesday’s interview sounds like it will be a good one.

2. Magic Dance – David Bowie
3. Last Caress – AFI
4. Today – Smashing Pumpkins

Jim
October 23, 2006I enjoy most author interviews, Sue. Three all-time favorites ate two Michael Silverblatt “Bookworn” podcasts — one with John Barth, another with Mary Gaitskill.
There’s also a wonderful discussion of the differences between novel and short story by Antonya Nelson, this interview over KCI-Irvine, CA by Barbara DeMArco-Barrett. (She interviews TC Boyle in the second half of that podcast. Not a shabby line-up!)
Amy Kiger-Williams
October 23, 2006This selection is a little heavy on the Liz Phair and Elvis Costello, but here goes…
1) We Won’t Need Legs to Stand – Sufjan Stevens
2) F*ck and Run – Liz Phair
3) The Judgement – Elvis Costello and the Imposters
4) Bedlam – Elvis Costello and the Imposters

Hank Williams’ Greatest Hits
The Knitters
Dead Can Dance – Spiritchaser
David Bowie – Hunky Dory and Space Oddity
Tom Waits – Frank’s Wild Years
The Shaggs
Laurie Anderson – Mister Heartbreak
Have you heard of ‘musical epilepsy’? That ABBA playing in Aurelio’s brain could be temporal lobe seizures.
Susan Henderson
October 24, 2006Kasper – This is unrelated but I thought of you because you paint such amazing portraits. Did you see this? The artist continued making portraits as his Alzheimer’s progressed. It’s fascinating. Be sure to click on the slide show. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/24/health/24alzh.html?hp&ex=1161662400&en=b9f3d26b9139e14a&ei=5094&partner=homepage
Sarah – Yeah, isn’t it great to see the varied taste of the entire group of us, and then the varied taste within each individual. I’m sort of creating mental soundtracks for everyone.
Claire – And I thought I was the only person in the world who played Sarah Harmer! I’ve never tried party shuffle before, but now I will.
Jim – I’d like to hear that Tony Nelson piece. I leave books on tape and author interviews for Steve the greyhound when I leave the house. Today he listened to About a Boy.
Amy – Isn’t that funny how shuffle gave you doubles of two artists. I got a double in my shuffle today, too. You’ll see who on Friday.
Terry- You are too cool with your links. Is there really a Puffi AmiYumi? It sounds like a Japanese kids’ cereal.
Noria – I think that’s a great idea to diagnose Aurelio here. I have some of my own theories…

October 24, 2006Ah, the elections. I’m really busy. We’re dealing with lots of controversy. People opposed to the accessible electronic voting machines, because they don’t realize that we have the recommended paper trail in Illinois (we were the first state to require it — also, most people will vote on paper optical scan ballots). People who no longer want polling places in schools because of school violence — while half our polling places are in schools (typical through the US), and we ask the schools to have an institute day or non-attendence day years in advance. Implementing new equipment while we have several VERY controversial elections that will be VERY close. I am constantly dealing with crisis management, which makes it hard to get the day-to-day stuff (security procedures, press releases) written. We’re already in the middle of Early Voting and managing 32 early voting sites that serve the 140 communities in suburban cook county. I can’t WAIT until this election is over.
How did you happen to fire a fellow judge? I never heard that story!

2. The Brandenburg Concertos – Nos 1,2,3
3. Early Ellington
4. Edith Piaf – La Vie En Rose

October 24, 2006I’m kind of cheating a little, since I don’t have an MP3 player, and I’m trying to keep my new computer free of downloads.
I grabbed the first seven cds off the stack. (I never organize or alphabetize.)

The Best of Otis Redding
Patti Smith – Trampin’
Roky Erickson – Don’t Stop the Rock

Susan Henderson
October 25, 2006What totally fun, giddy music, t. Thanks for the link. I think Danny Gregory is tremendous, and I’m glad he’ll be here tomorrow.
Shelley – You have Italian madrigals on your list? I’ll never forget that. It’s like you have your own theme song now.
Gail – This is our last election with the booths and we move to computers next year but haven’t chosen which system yet. Yeah, it’s a tricky year for you to try new equipment because things are supposed to be close in Chicago. I’ll have to tell you the firing story in person. I’ll probably get in trouble blogging about it. (You think Obama would come to LitPark?)
Juliet – Lots of nice mellow and moody stuff here. My shuffle came out very bouncy.
Aurelio – Ooh, more Edith Piaf in the house.
Joe – You totally cheated, didn’t you?
Kathy – Three on your list I’ve never heard of and have to check them out. (I’m sampling everyone’s picks.)
Maria – Welcome! I love meeting the flies on the wall!
Pia – I love the way you introduce me to new artists.
*Joe*
October 25, 2006Hey Susan. Thhhhhhppppppptttt!!!
If I cheated, do you really think I would have had this one in my shuffle?
“4) Prepositional Pronouns / German Level Two (disk one)”
Yeah, I’m rockin’! I’m just glad you didn’t go as high as #8, “Anything Goes” by Helen Merrill
