OT: Fun with Ipods

For the past few years for Christmas, my family and I have exchanged Cds we've burned with favorite ipod /mp3 playlists. Last year my contribution was my favorite female singers. But this year, I just can't seem to come up with any ideas (sleep deprivation has messed with my creative mojo ). Anyway, I thought it might be fun if we shared our favorite playlists or shared what's currently on our Cd players or turntables (my nephew was fascinated with my turntable the last time he came over, almost as enthralled as he was with the victrola in my dining room -- Now doesn't that make me feel old! ). Also, thought I'd share the fun MP3 player I found for him for Christmas:

Playlist too long to list--have 32 gig iphone. Lotsa good stuff.

Carbonman, you need to make room for SnoozyWoozyCat's choice of the Ditty Bops, even if they are a far cry from everyone else on your list. You have to love a group that toured coast to coast traveling by bicycle, even if they didn't drag their gear in a couple of Burleys.
