    ooh! Thanks for the link to the top ten horror and scifi quotes; that will be fun. I'm already making my list! I'd do the top ten songs but I don't think I could choose just ten plus my taste keeps changing... glad you got you 100 :)

    Congrats on the award and also getting over 100 people to participate in the music blog,

    Still wish I had an Ipad.

    Thanks mason and the blogfest will be a blast!

    Susan, you need an iPad.

    Mshatch, it was tough for me to choose. Glad you signed up for the quotes fest.

    Amity, I wish I could send you one! And your kind comment of appreciation just made me feel good.

    Karen, the sci-fi/horror fest isn't for everyone. You're still cool!

    Though I'm not a party junkie, I've always been very into house music. Therefore, I've decided to do a top 10 all time favorite club tracks. See you on Monday, clubbers. Can't wait!:)

    I am all set for Monday, Alex. It's my very first blogfest and I couldn't think of a better topic. Now, that's not to say I haven't gone in and changed my choices a few times since composing the draft, because this is definitely not an easy list to generate. Looking forward to what everyone comes up with.

    I think your music blogfest is a great idea. I'm not signing up even though I'm also a musician. I couldn't choose. My theme song is always changing.

    Hi Alex .. this has obviously caught a fire .. being practically non-musical I passed the opportunity by .. but you certainly didn't need any help getting to 100+ amazing.

    I was thinking someone very musical could put together a play list from these? A really good compilation for an ipod?

    Cheers Hilary
