Music By Which to Blog
June 13, 2007 by Recovering Baptist
The guy in the cubicle right outside my office has been playing soft jazz all morning. So I’ve essentially been listening to hold music for three hours. I’d snark about it to him but he’s moving soon to a different cubicle so why bother? He’d just put me on his prayer list anyway and keep playing it. Which is fine I guess. I’m not gonna turn down prayer. Unless it’s for me to return to The Fold. I’m not really down with that.
You know how if you have itunes on your laptop and you bring it into work, your itunes folders will show up on everyone else’s itunes in the office? I don’t know, there may be a way to block that, but most people don’t think about it. Today my friend here at work IM’ed me that she had picked up on three co-workers’ folders called “Vince”, “Brian’s PC” and “Baby-makin’ tunes”. Which made me laugh out loud and then immediately and involuntarily say, “ew.” We don’t know who has “baby-makin’ tunes” on his or her itunes but frankly I don’t care to think of any of my co-workers in flagrante delicto. Although the way babies are popping out left and right here, I can assure you, they are, um, engaging. Seriously, you’d think the company were giving away free cars with every kid born. The good news is it means cake in the office.
I replied to my friend here that I was going to go home and create a bunch of folders in itunes that had disturbing names, just so I could bring in my laptop and share them with others. Some ideas we’ve had:
“Cookin’ up meth tunes”
” Yoga tunes” filled with death metal songs
“Stalking tunes” - this one has 35 copies of Every Breath You Take and one of Talking In Your Sleep
“Songs to turn tricks by”
“Fetish soundtrack”
“Songs requested by the voices in my head… the voices…”
Any other suggestions?
“Songs to Abuse By”
“Morally Ambiguous Tunes”
“Tunes to Kill Roaches By”
“Songs to kill co-workers by”?
Nah, that’d probably get you a visit by the local police
Hehehe, yes RockyCat I thought about that one. We actually had a quite a few that might have been interesting along those lines…
Su - Morally Ambiguous Tunes! Nice.
[...] The Recovering Baptist has a few thoughts about shared iTunes folders… Spread It Around: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. [...]
There truly is a CD called “Songs for the Cat”…. Might try that one….
Or how ’bout “Tunes to get your groove on” and fill it with Air Supply and Shaun Cassidy?
-Josie’s Bat Mitzvah Playlist
-Music I Play So My Co-Workers Don’t Hear Me Fart
Virgin-sacrificing tunes
Music by which to worship the devil

OMG. You people are geniuses.
I travel a lot. Right now I am working on a project in Pittsburgh, where the airport has free wifi. I LOVE to open iTunes in the airport just to see what’s being shared out there. Now you people seem to think all these folders and what not are funny. To me, they are just reality.
