Music
 by Fëanor

I'm listening to some pretty damn fine music this morning.

I finally decided to back up my current iPod again last night, and this morning the process was still going, which meant I'd have to leave it behind. Poppy pointed out that my old iPod was sitting but feet away and I could take that one instead. So I did, along with the new headphones which had come with my new iPod, and which I'd never used.

I discovered, first of all, that either these new headphones are in much, much better shape than my old ones, or my old iPod has different volume settings, because I was able to turn the volume bar down to about 20% and still hear everything clearly, whereas with my current iPod and old headphones, I have to turn it up to about 75% to hear things clearly (and 100% to hear the audio on movies at all). Crazy!

But anyway. Normally at work I listen to my "unrated" playlist, so I can continue my lengthy and insane project of rating every single song on my iPod (I have fewer than 2000 left! Woo hoo!). But obviously it would make no sense to do that on my old iPod, so instead I put my five star playlist on shuffle. And man has it been a good time. Here's what's come up so far this morning:

Rehumanize Yourself - The Police
Within You Without You - The Beatles
Firestarter - The Prodigy
Superabound - Frank Black
Blue Train - John Coltrane
How the Stars Got Crossed Out - Radio 4
Where I End and You Begin (The Sky Is Falling In) - Radiohead
Ben Kenobi's Death/Tie Figher Attack - London Symphony Orchestra (from the Star Wars soundtrack, obviously)
Just a Job to Do - Genesis
Peanuts - The Police
Take the Veil Cerpin Text - The Mars Volta
All White - ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Jumpers - Sleater-Kinney
Little Amsterdam - Tori Amos
In the Springtime of His Voodoo - Tori Amos
Back on the Chain Gang - The Pretenders
Release the Kraken - Clutch
Chicago (Adult Contemporary Easy Listening Version) - Sufjan Stevens
Down by the River - Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
