Someone once told me that you can tell a lot about a person based on the music you’ll find on their iPod. I don’t think that’s true. I mean yes, it gives you some insight into what their tastes are, but there’s no set “rules” that govern what sort of music a particular person will have on their MP3 player. That doesn’t make sense, does it?
I mean, a cursory glance at my iPod’s list of artists includes people and groups such as Madonna, Gorillaz, Queen, Eminem, MC Frontalot, Adam Ant, Reel Big Fish, Rammstein, Jonathan Coulton, Homestar Runner, Muse, Meatloaf, the Rentals, the Feeling, Robbie Williams, Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Staveley Makepeace, Songs to Wear Pants To, Rob Zombie, Dido, Pink Floyd, Adam and Joe, Neil Hannon, Murray Gold, the Japanese Philharmonic Orchestra, Alistair Brimble, Kompressor, Paramore, Jennifer Saunders, the Foo Fighters, a rather large selection of Overclocked Remixes, and many more. Order now to receive this bonus disc at no extra va–… no, sorry, hang on. Where was I?
Oh yes. So, what does that selection tell you about my personality? Bugger all. What does it tell you about my musical preferences? Hopefully it tells you that I like a bit of everything. Or, possibly, that I have a bloody awful taste in music. Who can say?

It tells me that you pirate a lot.

Actually every single song on my iPod is legal; either ripped from a CD I own, purchased through iTunes, or downloaded from the artists’ own websites where they’re offering them for free. I stopped pirating music a good couple of years ago.
