Bonne Année
On 1 January 2005, I reset the trip meter on my car, and the Play Count in my iTunes library.
Miles driven in 2005: 6653 (I drove 3970 miles after July 1st)
Most played songs on iTunes in 2005:
- Wilson Pickett, “634-5789 (Soulsville U.S.A.),” The Very Best of
- John Hiatt, “Only the Song Survives,” Crossing Muddy Waters
- The Louvin Brothers, “In the Pines,” Tragic Songs of Life
- The Louvin Brothers, “Alabama,” Tragic Songs of Life
- Sam Cooke, “It’s All Right/For Sentimental Reasons (Live),” One Night Stand: Live at the Harlem Square Club
- Charlie Robison, “El Cerrito Place,” Good Times
- Emmylou Harris, “If I Could Only Win Your Love,” Pieces of the Sky
- Sam Cooke, “Bring It On Home To Me,” The Man Who Invented Soul
- Catherine Wheel, “Wish You Were Here (XFM),” Show Me Mary
- John Hiatt, “What Do We Do Now,” Crossing Muddy Waters
Out of the 3261 songs in my library, I never listened to 746 of them (in full, at least).
In general, I listened to a lot of Louvin Bros, Sam Cooke, and Catherine Wheel in 2005. I also listened to a lot of Kenny Chesney, although no one song of his cracked my top ten. The fact that I listened to “634-5789 (Soulsville U.S.A.)” the most in 2005 is probably a fluke, as I like Wilson Pickett, but I liked that song disproportionately to his other songs, mostly because it’s the younger brother to my perennial favorite “Beechwood 4-5789″ by the Marvelettes.
