I've got all of my cast albumns on my iPod... which means everthing from Two by Two to March of the Falsettos to Light in the Piazza.

I really enjoy listening to Uta Lemper as I'm working out. That woman raises Weill and Kander and Ebb songs to the heavens. Listening to Shockheaded Peter during a run can be... interesting too.

I have 3477 Broadway songs on my I-pod, so I love the shuffle songs feature. It's great to go from Rent to Show Boat to Avenue Q to Zorba. The I-pod has changed my life!

And when I get sick of Broadway, I can watch the Daily Show on it!

I offically used up the space on my 60 gig video iPod with Brodaway cast recordings yesterday. I download stuff I haven't even seen, just for the heck of it. My favorite upbeat ones are the Rent stuff, 30/90 and No More from Tick tick Boom, The King of Broadway, Hot Honey Rag from Chicago, and I Hope I get It from A Chorus Line. I have more, but I don't feel like digging them up.

I didn't see your name, but the person who has Two By Two on their iPod... I feel dreadfully bad for you.

Anyone who looks at mine says "get a life" and walks away. This is probably because seven of my playlists have something to do with Rent.

I have all the songs from Abenue Q's "Mix tape!"
Brilliant idea! I'm doing that now!

Ah, my ipod is my pride and joy because I have one of the most comprehensive showtunes collections in my school. (Plus, in our computer lab, we have "shared" music, so I uploaded all of my songs into a shared playlist called "Uber Showtunes". That made a lot of people excited.)

On my ipod:
Aida
Beauty and the Beast
Broadway: The American Musical (100 years of showtunes!)
Bye Bye Birdie
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Fiddler on the Roof
Hairspray
I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change
Into the Woods
Jekyll and Hyde
Les Miserables
Little Shop
Little Women
Movin' Out
Newsies
Spamalot
Ragtime
RENT
Putnam
Last 5 Years
Light in the Piazza
Producers
West Side Story
Wicked
You're A Good Man Charlie Brown

Better question is what isn't on my ipod!

Right now I am definitely listening to a lot of Parade.


...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Pretty much all that is on my ipod is showtunes. Everything from Aida, tick, tick... BOOM!, See What I Wanna See, L5Y, and many others. The only other things I have on there are a couple of Disney songs and the soundtrack from A Walk to Remember.

Seriously. What don't I have on my iPod?

I pretty much have everything. I've been listening to Rent (The original cast.1996)alot.

I'm not sure why though. Probabaly because i'm going to see it soon. Or i'm just in love with the show. It's definatly both

It is so funny when they open up the artists part and they are like "who the hell are these people?"

That happens to me ALL THE TIME. And people get really annoyed with my artists, since I label every song with exactly whose singing in it- not just "original broadway cast", but "Daphne Rubin-Vega, Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp, Idina Menzel, Fredi Walker, Jesse L. Martin and Wilson Jermaine Heredia" or "Benjamin Magnuson, Michael Cerveris, Diana DiMarzio and Lauren Molina". This is why I have 317 artists.


There's a lot I am not certain of...

I am going to have to agree with mateo and say that big ensemble numbers are the best to work out to. Like "You Can't Stop The Beat" is really good to run to, as are most of the faster songs in Thoroughly Modern Millie. And Dreamgirls is really good to run to as well. People think I'm weird, but showtunes really are the best workout music.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with the iPod belting Broadway tunes while running on the treadmill! I have "Rent", "Hairspray", "Avenue Q", "Billy Elliot", "Les Miserables", "Zanna, Don't", "Brooklyn" and "Wicked" on there, but it's totally "Rent" and "Wicked" that keep my legs running...

The only full cast albums I have are Wicked and Ragtime. Then, I just have a couple songs from other shows here and there. I also have many many non-Broadway songs.
Sample of a shuffle of 5 songs (On my Samsung MP3 player..not an iPod):

1 "Somebody to Love" by Queen
2 "Whenever You Call" by Mariah Carey/Brian McKnight
3 "Send in the Clowns" sung by Frank Sinatra
4 "More to This" by Third Day
5 "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5

I need some more memory! I have so much more I want to put on my player!


No one is alone.

Haha. For working out, I have a playlist with Hairspray, Sweet Charity, the finale from Pippin, 30/90, the Ballad of Czolgosz aanndd... My Humps.

I find my playlists to be quite amusing, besides the aforementioned 'workout madness' there's 'Totally Sondheim', 'Nonstop Denis O'Hare', and 'Michael Cerveris is bald.' I've got a Philip Quast one in the works, just as soon as I get around to loading The Fix onto iTunes.

My iPod is my baby. I named it Mason.

A hard drive maybe an led light or two...something that makes the Ipod freeze, I think that one is standard on all I-pods.


So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

*pouts* Why do we discriminate against other players? I have a gorgeous, brand-new blue Zen Vision M. So far, it is love. It was my college graduation present!

I've been spending this past weekend uploading all of my stuff onto it. I have...hmm, close to 100 cast albums, I would say. Way too many to list! I've also loaded it with my radio music, my Japanese music, what little Korean music I have, and my soundtracks [Garden State, Mulan, etc.]...my baby is loaded!

I haven't yet listened to it for workout, but this past week when I was packing up the dorm room, I had music blaring on my CD Player. [That is almost a workout in and of itself!] It was mostly upbeat stuff so that I didn't get sleepy! My most-played CD was actually Green Day's "American Idiot," but I also listened to cast albums such as BARE, Hairspray, Urinetown, Bright Lights/Big City, Rent and more! For 'radio' music, I had some Michelle Branch, Darren Hayes, FallOut Boy, No Doubt, Aqua and more! Then, for my 'Asian Music,' I played some Utada Hikaru, Field of View, BoA, Ayumi Hamasaki, DEEN, Gackt and more!

I have such an eclectic mix of music that I always have a lot to listen to. I go through phases, too. I can go for days, weeks, even months on end listening to one thing or one genre. Broadway is the biggest culprit, but lately as my trip to Japan approaches, my Japanese music is giving it a run for its money! [Actually, it started when Kingdom Hearts 2 came out and I was fawning all over the Hikki love and morphed to new things that I tried out..hmm..] Right now, I've been listening to 'American Idiot' on repeat a lot. Over the summer, it will flip around again. Who knows!

Out of my own curiosity, I just checked my iPod. I didn't think I had that much, and by comparison to some I'm sure I don't, but I was shocked to see what I had. As of current:

Sweeney Todd (revival)
The Secret Garden (OBC)
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
RENT (NYTW)
RENT (OBC)
RENT (OST)
WICKED
Avenue Q
Spamalot
Mary Poppins
Mamma Mia!
Jekyll & Hyde
Hedwig & The Angry Inch
Bare
AIDA
Carrie
Beauty and the Beast
Taboo
The Color Purple
The Light In The Piazza
The Lion King
The Phantom of the Opera
The Producers
Titanic

Wow...random. And to think I listen to these albums almost every day.

I've got mostly cast recordings on my ipod. But for working out, I refuse to listen to music. It makes me hate the music. HOWEVER...if I happen to be free dancing I do like music from shows...so really anything from most shows works for that!
