Soundtrack to My Life

So, I got an iPod a while ago, and I now have the ability to choose a soundtrack for various daily activities, thus making each errand exponentially more fun and making me feel as if I'm in some sort of romantic biopic about my own life.

Here are some picks I recommend:

Best music for walking down the street in high heels: Daft Punk, Daftendirekt. Guaranteed to make you feel like a total high heeled warrior badass. Also the pace is just right for clicking those Louboutins smartly down the pavement.

Best music for walking in the early morning: Sigur Ros's entire album Takk..., from beginning to end.

Best music for feeling gloriously sentimental when it's raining: Roy Orbison and KD Lang's duet version of Crying.

Best music for cleaning out and organizing your closet: I'm sorry, but ABBA's Gold. It makes me want to try on all my dresses to make sure they still fit. And perhaps I may also twirl around in them, so what? No one's watching.

Best music for getting pumped about cleaning your bathroom: Andrew WK; I Get Wet. Seriously. You will scrub that tub like you've never scrubbed before. And you will do it with a huge smile on your face.

Best music for reading a trashy novel while eating a delicious chocolate madeleine and drinking coffee: Yo Yo Ma's Bach Cello Suites. Makes even the trashiest novel seem like Edith Wharton wrote it. Okay, maybe that is a slight exagerration.

Best music for working out to: M.I.A.'s Arular. It just makes you feel like you want to get sexy. And do good at the same time.

Best music for falling asleep to: anything by Kimmie Rhodes. Her voice is magic.
