I am less than 24 hours into my love affair with the 1GB iPod Shuffle that Katherine surprised me with yesterday. I setup a playlist with around 2GB of my favorite music and told iTunes to load up a random mix. The morning commute into DC was a lot more enjoyable, and I found myself walking a bit slower than usual on the way up from Farragut West.
The picture above is only slightly smaller than the actual player.
Here is what has been served up so far.
- Jim Jennie and the Pine[barons,tops] (2)
- Elvis Costello(2)
- Supreme Beings of Leisure
- Beatles (2)
- Johnny Cash (4 one of which was a Beatles cover)
- Orbital(2)
- Depeche Mode
- Dead Kennedys
- The Clash
- Willie Nelson (3)
- Martyr Colony
- Prick
- Non-Agression Pact
- Blondie
- X-Ecutioners
- Röyksopp (2)
- The Legends
The auto-fill and shuffle functions are great ways to revisit neglected portions of my music collection.
As a total aside every time I listen to a Beatles tune the strange things they did with stereo always surprise me (even though I should know to expect the bass and drums in one ear, and everything else in the other).
