I can't bring myself to misuse the word 'meme' here (out of loyalty to its coiner, Richard Dawkins). I will tag a few friends with this game, though: consider the 5 classic questions of journalism, who, what, when, where, why and see how many of these questions are asked by the songs on your mp3 player. Thanks to my iPod, here are the questions I seem to walk around listening to and thinging about:
What's Going On?
What Else is New.
What Have You Done?
What's my mission now?
What Deaner Was Talking About.
What is this thing called love?
Whatever You Want
What we Want is Free.
What We All Want
Whatsername.
Whatever.
Who's to Say?
When You Know
When You're Young
When the Sun Goes Down
When You Dance I Can Really Love.
When the Light Appears Boy
When I Was a Young Girl
When It Rains It Snows
Where Do I Begin?
Where Do the Children Play?
Where Did you Sleep Last Night?
Where Have All the Good Times Gone?
Where I End and You Begin
Where Your Eyes Don't Go
Where's Captain Kirk?
Where is My Mind?
I'm embarrassed to say I'm not sure exactly who does a few of these songs.
Can you guess any of the artists?
Can you post your own journalistic questioning songs on your site and then link from here to yours?

These were all Googled cuz some I didn't know
1) Marvin Gaye, P Diddy or Joe Cocker
2) Dinosaur Junior
3) Shatner and Janet Jackson
( if they're on your IPod I'll barf)
4) Tackhead
5) Ween
6) Lemar
7)Quo Status
8) Anti Flag
9)Lennon (?)
10) Greenday
11) Godsmack
12) Hometown Hero and Vanessa Carleton
13) ?
14) The Jam
15)Kenny Chesney ( oh puke)
16) Neil Young
17) Cornershop
18)?
19) TMBG ( I approve highly)
20)Chemical Bros.and oddly Andy Williams
21) Cat Stevens
22) TMBG ( lovely)
23) REM ( yippie!)
24) Pixies ( yummy!)
Did I win anything this time or what? Okay,so I'll be a copy cat now. Just remember, I listen to Bluegrass.............

Oh, Two, wish I could tell you what's on my iPod but all my iTunes were lost when my computer fried.
But what a fun game -- thanks for sharing it!

Nice to see someone having Ween ánd TMBG on his iPod. They're a bit like The Beatles and The Stones of American nerd-rock, aren't they?

Sorry Gnest,
I cannot respond. I am an audiophile and so I don't own an Ipod. I am an LP only snob.

I'm saving up for an iPod, but, sadly, i do not have one. You don't really need one as much down here. I usually just listen to the radio or plug my CD player in through the cassette deck in my car. :-)

I'm not even your friend, but definitely enjoy reading you. And, I can follow directions. Here is the link to my list, and not the list itself. There was surprisingly little interrogatory activity going on. Thanks for an interesting quest, I enjoyed finding out what was there.
