Swim Tunes

[susandennis]

It dawned on me while I was swimming this morning that I have a rather odd and probably telling list of songs in my swim list. 90% of them never change. I delete some now and again and add others* but mostly what I listen to lap after lap has remained the same for a few years now.

*Right now there is way too much Miranda Lambert. I like some of her stuff but I need to replace a lot of it. And as new stuff is released - a Brandy Clark album or if Shane MacAnally ever does another one - I'll add it. I also swap out the ABBA's for different ABBA's and same for Queen.

I leave the current list here for posterity.

Great list... how do you listen while swimming? Is there a waterproof way?

[susandennis]

Oh yeah. There are lots of different swim tune options:

I use one of the waterproofed iPod Shuffles. I hate having to use iTunes but it really is the best player of all of them.

[jayethirteenth.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you! I didn't even know this existed.

[susandennis]

Best swimming thing EVER!

[rejectomorph]

What, you live in Seattle but there's no grunge on your play list? No Nirvana, no Pearl Jam, no Foo Fighters? Don't let the Chamber of Commerce get wind of this. They might deport you to Spokane. ;)

[susandennis]

I'm playing the Old Lady Exemption card on all that stuff. I only bring it out in emergencies but that would be one for sure.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

I love that you have a Rufus Wainwright song in there.

[susandennis]

He's actually on my mental list of people I need to add more of!

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

Check him out on YouTube. I have his first 3 albums but then I sorta lost track of him. His sister Martha is also amazing. :)
