It's amazing what a couple days of raking and yard work in beautiful weather can do for your souls - and muscles.

OK, no one tell my brother - but we're getting him an iPod for Christmas. We were bartering for one and then CD picked up this Christmas job at the electronics store and he gets dibs on the insane clearance stuff. This is a secret so besides everyone on the internet, let's just keep it under our hats....

We're going to preload it with a few of songs.

I happen to have an, err, bizarrely huge MP3 collection. I was one of those early Napster anarchists (But all legal now! I swear!). NO idea what kind of crack I used to smoke, but I got stuff like Peaches and Herb.

Shudder.

Kalisah inspired the idea pick songs from the late 8o's and early 90's. You know, stuff from when my *younger* brother was in high school.

Here's the list so far .... thoughts?

1. "Hungry Like a Wolf" Duran Duran
2. "Vogue" Madonna
3. "Vacation" The Go-Go's
4. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Nirvana
5. "Can't Touch This" MC Hammer
6. "Under the Bridge" Red Hot Chili Peppers
7. "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" Green Day
8. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" Tears for Fears
9. "Ice Ice Baby" Vanilla Ice
10. "One" U2

1 A friend of ours just described Vanilla Ice to her son as the K-Fed of our youth. I thought it a perfect desciption. I'm so glad he's no longer singing/dancing. He makes a much better actor.

2 OK, Iceman I can understand, but you're dissing FedEx? Really? That icon of class, style, and talent?! I'm SHOCKED, I tell you. Shocked!

4 "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins "Roxanne" by the Police or "Every Breath You Take" "Whip It" by Devo The one-hits from The Fixx and Kajagoogoo (sp?). The song from Tears for Fears that you have takes me SO much right back to high school, it's scary. Class of '85, LOL. p.s.: I'm so sorry about Zazzoo ...

5 Have to have some Boys to Men in there like end of the road. I think it was almost every person I have met that graduated in 92-93's class song. Maybe some Metalica too.
