Of the iPods out there, what style/colour does your character own? Teddy tends to use his iPod a little like an extra hard-drive. It was a splurge when he purchased the white, 80 gig video iPod. But he justified it with the fact that he’d been living off a first generation for the better part of four years.
How many songs are there in your characters library? 6387
Which band is most represented on your character’s iPod? Badly Drawn Boy
Which song is the most played? The Trapeze Swinger by Iron and Wine
Any quirks/details about your character’s iPod or its usage? Teddy is extremely neurotic about his iPod and it scratching. He is meticulous about using its case and is pretty big on playlists. Most notably, he’s constantly adding songs to his ‘Victoire’ playlist, which is easily the largest. On the back are engraved the lyrics: I'll be waiting right here just to show you how our love will blow it all away.
