I have always been a big fan of music. It is a constant comfort in life and couples nicely with virtually any mood I am in. In the last, oh say 10 years, music has been synonymous with, ipod. Pretty much since I have moved into corporate america, I have found myself sitting in a cubicle or some semblance of one and my only savior are my headphones. Not that music is God or anything, but it can help balance life in so many ways.
So with music being so important, it really annoys the crap out of me when I leave my ipod at home. This doesn’t seem to happen very often, since I am constantly listening to music at work and in my car, I am always pretty aware of where it is. But on occasion I do randomly bring it in the house and leave it.
So where does that leave me today, ipodless at work? Well luckily I have some outs. I have just under 200 songs stored in itunes at work. I buy albums while working sometimes, so I have those as a fall back.
If that limited amount of music doesn’t strike my fancy, well I guess I can stream music in Last.fm. I love trending my musical habits!
Now if Last.fm can’t get me through to the afternoon, then I guess I could check out Lala or SadSteve both of which are pretty popular with my friends.
I am pretty luck that the internet can support my music listening addiction so completely. So while I still live and die by my ipod, I certainly can manage a day or two without it, so long as I have the trusty interwebs…
