3:30

I like this meme that John Gushue is apparently getting going. That being "what songs on your computer click in at three minutes and 30 seconds?"

Surprisingly, I have few, but a lot that come in at 3:29 or 3:31. I noticed that one person responded that he had Atlantic Blue by Ron Hynes coming in at 3:30 whereas on my computer, I have it at 3:28.

I don't really think I'm missing that much, those absent two seconds. Just one of those quirks about copying music to computers. Sometimes you get an extra second or two of dead air, sometimes you don't.

So for the sake of margin of error, I'm going to list all the songs that come in at 3:29 and 3:30 (If I include 3:31 I'll be here all day). Why? Because it's weird and amusing. Because I haven't posted much in the way of what music is being played on my iPod lately. And because it's a weekend and I feel like relaxing, rather than posting a long and in-depth post that, judging by the traffic stats I just checked, no one is going to be reading today anyway. It must be a nice day back in St. John's.

Anyway, here's the list. Nothing to embarassing, I think. Although it is interesting how artists such as Beck, Tom Waits and Sean Panting show up here a lot. But nothing by the Beatles, which is odd...
