It was a pretty crazy day, which meant that I was not at my desk as much as I needed, or wanted. The reason I wish I was there more, is because when I am, I get to listen to music. Generally, I put my iPhone on shuffle and see what comes up. At this moment, I have just over 700 songs on there. I wish it were more, I just don't have room at this time.
For the first time, I decided to track what came up, and listen to whatever came up. It was a pretty interesting list.

Rollin’ Home – Tyler Hilton
Pass the Time – Justin Stover
Honestly, I'm a little surprised at what the list ended up containing. It did not have near as much Tyler Hilton as I expected, it had way more Eric Hutchison (only cause I only have a few songs), not enough Indigo Girls or Todd Carey.
As you peruse the list, you see that overall, I tend to listen to fairly mellow stuff - singer/songwriter, heavily male, some fairly obscure stuff, a lot of popular stuff. And throw in a mix including some more rock such as Fall Out Boy and some Broadway with the Wicked soundtrack. It was an interesting day.
I will say, listening to the awesome music helped to keep me in a good mood all day. I recommend you give it a try one day.
I think for my song of the day, I will - obviously - go for something on the list. In honor of the upcoming blog on the rest of my concert experience, I am going with Patrick McAloon (guitarist for The Pat McGee Band).
So I give you...Cold or Bold by Patrick McAloon
