WHAT POPS UP WHEN YOU PUT SOMEONE'S MUSIC ON RANDOM
Emily Saliers, the red-headed half of the Indigo Girls, listens to music on a top-shelf sound system at home, a computer on the road, and her beloved iPod Nano when she's running. Her idea of a good jogger's soundtrack is eclectic: R&B singer Mary J. Blige, rocker Liz Phair, and folk-pop duo the Weepies top her list of motivational tunes. But the selection of songs that comes up when Saliers (whose band performs tomorrow at the South Shore Music Circus) sets her iPod to shuffle doesn't, she says, do justice to her tastes. "I love country music. I love singer-songwriters. They didn't pop up."
1. "The Sound," Mary Mary
2. "All About Us," t.A.T.u.
3. "The Weakness in Me," Joan Armatrading
4. "Angela," Missy Higgins
5. "Oops (Oh My)," Missy Elliott
6. "Got My Own Thing," Liz Phair
7. "Senorita," Justin Timberlake
8. "Shake It Off," Mariah Carey
9. "What's Hardcore?" K'naan
10. "Do What You Do," Jermaine Jackson
Glad we missed: All the Indigo Girls songs. "There's more Indigo songs on there than anything. It's embarrassing."
Most surprising thing in her collection: "I love pop music more than people probably realize. I love Rihanna and Kelly Clarkson. I'm a diehard JoJo fan. Her songs just slay me."
