Shuffle Shame: Week of April 30, 2012

Week of April 30, 2012

1. "God is in the Radio"--Queens of the Stone Age, Songs for the Deaf:
I discovered Queens of the Stone Age and this album because Dave Grohl was playing drums with them. It is a solid album that I tend to forget about. I have never bought any of their previous or later albums. I think I have one of their later singles. However, this song is a solid one off of a strong album. NO SHAME.

2. "All Around the World"--The Jam, Greatest Hits:
The Jam is one of those bands that I should listen to a lot more. Every time they come up on the shuffle, I dig it. I have this greatest hits album but have not ever listened to it start to finish. Good stuff and definitely NO SHAME.

3. "O Holy Night"--The Carpenters, Christmas Portrait:
I feel like I should get a pass for having the Carpenters for my Christmas music, but even during Christmas time I typically skip their versions of the classics. In my opinion, it is not a good version of the song and does nothing for me (especially in the spring time). The Carpenters are nowhere near my personal taste in music and I am feeling the shame! I am done with this one. For the second time ever, we have a SHUFFLE KILLER!!

RATINGS KEY

SHUFFLE GOLD: I love this song/artist. This rating will be for songs/artists that are important in defining my musical taste for any given period in my life.

SHUFFLE GOODNESS: I feel good when this song comes on. It may be an artist that I really like but a song that is not as strong as others.

MEH: This rating is for songs that I do not like but am not necessarily shamed by. I am likely to skip this song in a shuffle out of sheer indifference.

MILD SHAME: I am mildly shamed by having this song on my shuffle. It may be a pop song that I like or a guilty pleasure in some cases. It may also be my kids' music or other pop music that does not resonate with me. If this song were to come on during a shuffle, I might enjoy my guilty pleasure or skip it, but for this blog it is NOT a shuffle killer.

SHUFFLE KILLER: The definition of "SHUFFLE SHAME." I am truly embarrassed to have this song in my collection. If one of these songs comes up, I will kill the shuffle for that week.
