I got home very late last night after my talk in New Paltz, the cold that I've been developing for the last week has hit full strength, and I'm giving an exam this morning. So here's something completely silly:
For bonus points, guess which of these songs I have on my iPod.

I'm turning in my grades today, which means another year has come to an end. Also, I'm on sabbatical next year. Woo-hoo!
To celebrate, here's a silly random songs post. In honor of the end of the term, iTunes chose to serve up a set of songs with lyrics that are either completely insipid or…
I think I'm cursed. Or I have bad luck. Or conference organizers think I'm a morning person. Alright, so maybe I really am a morning person. But that's besides the point. Because it sucks to give a talk on a Saturday morning. Saturday mornings should be reserved for things like Belgian waffles,…
I got book edits this week, gave an exam on Thursday, and pre-registration for our spring term classes is just beginning, so I have a parade of students begging to get into this course or that one to deal with. So I have no more time for detailed blogging, but will do a bit of tab-clearing to end…
One of my pet peeves about physics as perceived by the public and presented in the media is the way that everyone assumes that all physicists are theoretical particle physicists. Matt Springer points out another example of this, in this New Scientist article about the opening panel at the Quantum…
Considering that three of those songs are songs I've never heard of (and of the other two, the only one I've actually heard is "Sister Golden Hair"), I'm going to guess that the last three are on your iPod.
I'd be surprised if "Sister Golden Hair" were on your iPod--I've seen it featured in Jason Hare's "Adventures through the Mines of Mellow Gold" column, and I can't argue with his counting it as part of the genre. I own some music by that group, but not that track, and I wouldn't spend money to acquire it.
Andrews.
OK, I'm old.
I've only heard the first of those, and I can't say it's one I'd prefer. The only songs in a search for "Sister" on my iPod are:
My Sister Rose - 10,000 Maniacs
Sister Rosetta - The Noisettes
Temple of Love - Sisters of Mercy
How about Sister Jack (by Spoon)?
I have no idea about any of the sisters in your poll.
Just tell me "Sister Christian" is NOT on your iPod. Or that, if it is, it just snuck in when you loaded "Don't Tell Me You Love Me."
I'm guessing you have 'Sister Havana' on the iPod, since nobody remembers Urge, even people who still have the CD! You know they just want to, want to get along...
Also not surprised ScienceBloggers have never heard of Sister Morphine. It was waxed by such an obscure, flash-in-the-pan band. :-) [Google is your friend...]
Where's Sister Ray? Are we not hip?
But props to Alex for the Spoon reference!
Hint: Sister Mary Stigmata is not a song.
Sister Disco
Sister Luck
Sister Blister
Sister Moon
(I looked those up. I've only heard the first one. Pete Townshend.)
And why isn't Twisted Sister in the poll! (and I'm not taking 'they suck' as an excuse)!
