Though I walk through the valley of death…
It’s only a shadow…
(Misty Edwards)

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to music on my iPod. Today, I’m doing very mundain stuff at work and need the distraction of music or something. I’ve been listening to books on CD, but just finished a book and need to go to the library to get another one. Apple has a big announcement tomorrow – an Apple cellphone-iPod??
Anyway, here is what my iPod gave up this morning:
1. Sarah Brightman, First of May, from ‘La Luna’
2. Orlando Gibbons, Two Fantasies, from ‘GTS Schola Spring Concert 2004’
3. Aimee Mann, Satellite, from ‘Bachelor No. 2’

3. Sufjan Stevens, The Transfiguration, from ‘Seven Swans’

5. Sarah McLachlan, Drawn To The Rhythm, from ‘Solace’
6. Noral Jones, Those Sweat Words, from ‘Feels Like Home’
7. Sarah McLachlan, Last Dance, from ‘Surfacing’
8. The USSR Ministry of Culture Choir – Peter Tchaikovsky, Amen, And With Thy Spirit, from ‘Sacred Treasures I’
9. U2, Elevation, from ‘All That You Can’t Leave Behind’
10. Natalie Imbruglia, Butterflies, from ‘While Lillies Island’
and then, just to show that there is some more stuff to listen to
11. Sufjan Stevens, The Upper Peninsula, from ‘Greetings From Michigan’
12. Aimee Mann, Humpty Dumpty, from ‘Lost In Space’
13. Sugar, Helpless, from ‘Copper Blue’
