Random Play

iTunes random play mode rocks my socks. I have a ton of music on my iTunes. Some if it is mine and some if it is from cds that people have brought into the office and said, 'here check this out', and loaded onto my iTunes. So random play mode is fun because there are songs I barely know that pop up.

I have a couple of folders that apply to different moods. Like I have a "mellow mix" for when I need to calm down (or sometimes I just play the Garden State soundtrack. Love it!). And I have a fun mix, a holiday mix, a country mix (yes, country is a mood). But I love when I just start on a song and let random play choose my songs, and they are a good flow. Like it's all fun songs when I am feeling happy, or all Motown when I am feeling swingy.

Today my music is definitely all fitting into a mood. It played "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes, "Time is On My Side" by The Rolling Stones, "Thank You" by Alanis Morissette and "Messy" by Wood Belly. These are totally songs I would listen to if I were feeling chill. Like if work was good and life was good and I wanted a play list to jam to, I would totally pick those songs.

Unfortunately, that mood doesn't apply today. Work is not great, it is a little stressful. And life isn't bad, but I have GOT to look a calendar and make some lists, and until I make time to do that I will feel a little anxious.

I'm still proud of my iTunes though, for trying to lighten the mood. Thank you iTunes!
