When Joey first got his iPod, he asked his friends to recommend some music to help him fill it up. I did one better, under the “Fair Use” provision I shared some of my favorite songs in two separate ZIP files that I sent him via one of those popular large file shares online.

Not knowing what his tastes in music were outside of he was open to any aural experience I assembled some of my favorite cuts that were unusual, eclectic, funny, painful, etc.

Here is what he got:

Since Joey puts everything into his iPod and since I sent him these tracks, these are on my MP3 Player. Ergo, it is guaranteed there will be a post from both us on these songs. The song name will be linked to the first post no matter which one of us posted it and when a second post becomes available, that will be duly noted.
