Not quite the iPod war. Not quite a meme.

Went into Minstrel's iTunes and pulled up a list of all the songs (as opposed to podcasts) that I added to my mp3 collection in 2007.

1. "Areeb il Shar," Stormtrap. (Ramallah Underground. Middle Eastern flavored techno.)
2. "Mess Around," Ray Charles. (From gmskarka's Friday Music LJ series.)
3. "Killing Boombastic," DJ Zebra. (Rage Against the Machine vs. Shaggy. Awesome.)
4. "Battle Without Honor or Humanity," Tomoyasu Hotel. (Power walk music.)
5. "Captain Kidd," Great Big Sea.
6. "Dead Mongoloid Loser," Illuminoids (Bauhaus vs. DEVO vs. Beck. Another mash-up.)
7. "Cold Sweat," James Brown. (The extended version; I used to have this on tape, and play it on a particular mix every time I went into New York.)
8. "The Wait," The Pretenders. (I was looking for this song for years without knowing it.)
9. "It Ain't Me Babe," Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. (From Walk The Line, naturally.)
10. "O Buddy Roy," Phillip Engdahl. (Yes, from Order of the Stick. Someone recorded it.)
11. "Go Insane," Lindsay Buckingham.
12. "Lick It Wild Thing,' DJ Schmolli. (KISS vs. Tone Löc [which, in this case, means Van Halen] vs. 20 Fingers.
13. "A Love Bizarre," Sheila E.
14. "Lips Like Sugar," Echo and the Bunnymen
15. "Ebay I Need Your Lovin'," djBC. (Four Tops vs. Weird Al)
16. "Get Your Gunn," Marilyn Manson. (Don't judge. I was having a college retro moment. I always wanted to combine this with those stuffed animal ads. Manson cuddling a teddy bear with GET YOUR GUND in big letters.)
17. "Hey Dance It Up Cosmic Ya," unknown. (T. Rex vs. Outkast vs. The Damned. Possibly the most obscure combo this year.)
18. "Ray of Gob," Mark Vidler/Go Home Productions. (Sex Pistols vs. Madonna. You've probably heard this one.)
19. "Code Monkey," Jonathan Coulton.
20. "St. Vitus' Dance," Bauhaus. (My first download from the Armagideon Time music blog. Which is unremittingly awesome.)
21. "American Fast Food," Randy Stonehill.
22. "MackFloyd," Ping Pong. (Mark Morrison vs. Pink Floyd. So should have been called "Learning To Mack.")
23. "Who Listens To The Radio?," The Sports. (Another Armagideon track. Elvis Costello-y.)
24. "Eminence Front," The Who.
25. "Cities In Dust," Siouxsie & The Banshees.
26. "80s Chords," Rob Balder. (From The FuMP -- The Funny Music Project. Along with Manic Mondays and The Mad Music Show, my source for dementia, parody, and funny music this past year.)
27. "Take Off," Bob & Doug McKenzie.
28. "Lights Out," Peter Wolf.
29. "Gimme Vision," unknown. (Sisters of Mercy vs. Britney Spears. Yeah.)
30. "She's A Beauty," The Tubes.
31. "They Tried To Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat)," Jewmongous. (Sean Altman side project.)
32. "Prince Charming," Adam & The Ants. (Ridicule is nothing to be scared of. Apparently.)
33. "So Long," Fischer-Z.
34. "Passenger Fever," Mark Vidler/Go Home Productions. (Peggy Lee vs. Iggy Pop.)
