Here is the evidence. Draw your own conclusions.

Kim and I have gotten a few iTunes gift cards through various promotions, and after about half a year of occasional purchases, I've finally gone through my first $25 on what seems an odd mix of tunes -- a mix that I'm sure says something important about me, but I'm not at all sure what. If you figure it out, let me know.

From that gift card, $10 was spent on one album: Arsis Handbell Ensemble's "Awake, My Heart!," which is both the best handbell album I've ever heard and otherwise unavailable in America. The other $15 were spent on 15 singles:

* "The Avalanche," Sufjan Stevens
* "Brothers on a Hotel Bed," Death Cab for Cutie
* "Everything In Its Right Place," Christopher O'Reily (piano Radiohead cover)
* "I Don't Know What Else to Do," Aloha
* "King of the Road," Roger Miller
* "Mr. Blue Sky," Electric Light Orchestra
* "Missing Summer," Greater California
* "Never Knew," The Rocket Summer
* "Rhapsody in Blue," Columbia Symphony Orchestra and Leonard Bernstein
* "Seņorita," Justin Timberlake
* "Silent All These Years," Tori Amos
* "Someone in a Tree," from the musical Pacific Overtures
* "Strange Fruit," Billie Holiday
* "Trip to Little Big Horn," Marty Stuart
* "Who Are Parents?," Danielson Familie

Of course, I could be wrong about the strangeness of this list -- maybe most Justin Timberlake fans also like Roger Miller, ELO, Stephen Sondheim, and the Danielsons.
