iPod Shuffle

What pops up when you put someone's music on random

Michael Frank, curator of the Museum of Bad Art

Frank, 60, has an eye for the disturbing and the ridiculous. "I've always collected oddball things," he says. So it's not surprising that his iPod is also full of oddball things. Frank's collection of music is far more tasteful than his displays of sad cat paintings and disproportionate nudes, however. He loves jazz and eclectic world music and counts Ella Fitzgerald and Django Reinhardt among his favorite artists. Sure, there are a few doozies on his iPod, but with more than 20,000 songs, that's to be expected.

1. "Inside Out," Trisha Yearwood with Don Henley

2. "Marbletown," Mark Knopfler

Surprised we heard: Two Trisha Yearwood songs: "I'm not really a country fan."

Surprised we didn't hear: More of the oddball stuff, and jazz: "There's a lot of Duke Ellington and Oscar Peterson."

Sad we didn't hear: Any Museum of Bad Art favorites, such as Pat Boone's heavy metal album or Mary Schneider yodeling the "William Tell Overture."
