Schitzo Ipod
As much as I prefer the audio quality of other formats, for on the go the IPOD is great. I have about 5,500 songs on mine and it's pretty funny to see the listings created using the shuffle feature. Here's a part of the playlist I heard today:
Fingerprintz - "Fingerprince" (late 70s/early 80s precursor to the Scottish band The Silencers)
Course Of Empire - "The Information" (one of my all time fave bands - intelligent, complex & creative)
Happiness Factor - "Man From The Filling Station" (Salim Nourallah's old band-great stuff!)
Texas - "Insane" (nice Scottish rock, bluesy soulful female singer)
Manic Street Preachers - "Solitude Sometimes Is"
Hothouse Flowers - "Water" (one of the best from this Irish band's best album Songs From The Rain)
Hoodoo Gurus - "Dig It Up" (great Aussie band, 50s + surf + B-movie = this)
The Clash - "One Emotion"
Interpol - "Take You On A Cruise"
Grant McLennan - "One Plus One" (RIP, Grant. You are missed already)
Big Country - "You, Me & The Truth" (excellent Scottish rock band, one of my 3 all time faves)
The Doors - "Spanish Caravan"
Sunny Day Real Estate - "How It Feels To Be Something On"
Travis - "Side"
Van Morrison - "Moondance" (love the Moondance album & No Guru, No Method, No Teacher)
Radiohead - "Street Spirit"
Pink Floyd - "Poles Apart"
Steve Kilbey - "Like A Ghost"
Elvis Costello - "Love Field"
Lightning Waltz - "While You Can" (my own songs are on my playlist, hehe)
Robyn Hitchcock - "Flesh Number One (Beatle Dennis)"
Sundays - "My Finest Hour"
Echo & The Bunnymen - "Rescue"
Mark Eitzel - "Aspirin"
The Skids - "Charade" (Scottish post-punk, a young Stuart Adamson on guitar)
Gene - "We'll Find Our Own Way"
Volares - "Elegy For Tiny Tim" (Bucks Burnett, Paul Averitt & Dare Mason)
The Church - "Romany Caravan"
Ramones - "Blitzkrieg Bop"
Paul Simon - "Rhythm Of The Saints" (best album he's made in my opinion)
Sting - "All This Time"
Leonard Cohen - "Who By Fire"
Daniel Lanois - "Amazing Grace" (I love Lanois' work - off the fantastic album Acadie)
Beatles - "Hard Days Night"
Stereophonics - "Looks Like Chaplin"
Mike Ness - "Charmed Life" (this is the real deal - fantastic solo album Cheating At Solitaire)
Aimee Mann - "Going Through The Motions"
...Trail Of Dead - "Days Of Being Wild"
Ray Charles - "Hide Nor Hair"
Jethro Tull - "Said She Was A Dancer"
Doves - "Intro"
Midnight Oil - "Warakurna"
Cake - "I Will Survive"
Police - "Ms Gradenko"
Pogues - "Blue Heaven" (what's not to like about this excellent Irish band?!)
Waterboys - "Fisherman's Blues"
Gary Moore - "Still Got The Blues"
Verve - "Velvet Morning"
Frank Sinatra - "Fly Me To The Moon"
What a ragged play list! I love music and haven't given myself time to listen to any in ages. Now that this Ipod is full maybe I'll get the chance...

The Ramones following Romany Caravan... HA ha! That must have woke you up!
I've been fighting with my ipod for a year. I hate mp3s (or AAC, whatever) but I jsut can't get enough uncondensed files on my mini to compile a decent size play list.
Good to "see" you, Daniel...
love,
Sandy
nice music taste mr
regards pip
