Pretty obscure stuff here, you won't have heard of it.

I use my iPod whenever possible, mainly for music, but I'll play a game on it when there is absolutely nothing left to do. I can't say I have playlists ready-made, but I do have certain songs reserved for certain moods. When I listen to music I usually just scour my iPod for songs that fit that moods the best. The music that I enjoy the most is music that has either and epic or groovy nature to it, it's so energizing and fun to listen to for me, which is the mood I'm going for. As such, this playlist will mostly consist of fast-paced, catchy songs, most of them metal.

"The 13th Caesar" -Cradle of Filth This song is a symphonic masterpiece. The quick tempo and harsh vocals really appeal to me as a listener, but I can understand why this wouldn't be for everyone.

"Cliff Burton Surprise" -Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza This song has got to be one of the craziest I've ever heard. The catchy, lighthearted intro gets you into a groove, and then you are given 2 seconds of "Sweet Child O'Mine" by Guns N' Roses before being thrust into the most musically confusing three minutes of your life. The time signature switched (I believe) from 24/8 to 28/8, which is not only impressive, but sounds Cliff Burton surprisingly good.

"19-2000 (Soulchild Remix)" -Gorillaz This song never fails to put me in a good mood. It's is so incredibly catchy and lighthearted that I could listen to it every day and not get bored of it.

"Got the Life" -Korn This song is noticeably different from most of Korn's other songs. It's one of the only ones that isn't tuned to drop A (not an expert, but I'm going what friends have told me) so it doesn't have as much of a dark and angry vibe to it. That makes it one of my favorite Korn songs because despite the heavy distortion it still has potential to make one feel good.

"CAFO" -Animals As Leaders This is just another example of a truly epic song. The guitar is incredible. Guitarists and non-guitarists alike will find this impressive. It's such an intricate song on guitar that I would actually call it a composure instead of just a song, comparable to classical composers like Beethoven or Mozart. Tosin Abasi, the guitarist, is really a mastermind of sound.
