Dueling ipods

One of these iPods is not like the others.

One of these iPods has all the good music.

The others are full of things I merely tolerate or actively dislike. Can you guess which one of the above is mine?

We take turns using the docking station in the studio to choose music to listen to for an hour, which ends up being a bit schizophrenic. Yesterday morning I had a hankerin' for some good ol' fashioned classical, complete with violas and French horns. That lasted for about thirty minutes before someone came to me and said, "Umm, Sharon, would it be OK if I put on something else?" I looked at this person, who was standing before me with a nervous smile on their face. I raised an eyebrow. They laughed and said, "I'm sorry, but classical music makes me feel really anxious."

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? (This was my internal response.)

"Sure, feel free to switch it," I said. We then listened to electronic house music for about ten minutes before I went to this person and said, "Um, would it be OK if we switched the music? This electronic stuff makes me really anxious." (Sorry, sometimes pay back is too fun to resist.)

Today's music check (so far): 35 mn Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack

30 mn (so far) Lady Gaga

More to come, I shall update you throughout the day.
