The new iPod is still learning the hows and whys of shuffling, I assume. There are repeats. At first, it wouldn’t leave the confines of a single album for the next random song. But it is learning. I think.
This is the morning’s musical bounty:
- “Just My Soul Responding” – Smokey Robinson
- “66″ – Afghan Whigs
- “Fat-Bottomed Girls” – Queen
- “Touch Me With Your Love” – Beth Orton
- “Is There Any Way Out Of This Dream” – Crystal Gayle & Tom Waits
- “Ain’t No Other Man” – Christina Aguilera
- “Call Me” – Frank Sinatra
- “Cuts You Up” – Peter Murphy
- “Song For Yukiko” – Tricky
- “Go (Featuring John Mayer & Kanye West)” – Common
- “Pressure” – Billy Joel
- “Shelter From The Storm” – Bob Dylan
- “Masters Of War” – Bob Dylan
- “Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)” – Kanye West
- “Strange New Cottage In Berkeley” – Allen Ginsberg
Double the Dylan.
And this list doesn’t count the three tracks that failed to rip well. Sad to admit, but many of my older CDs aren’t doing so well anymore. The first Live album, an Allison Krauss collection and Shelby Lynne’s reintroduction LP, all of them resulted in stuttering and worthless MP3s.
