Duelling Shuffles
So, as “Music Managers” go, I have two. iTunes for my iPod and Rhapsody for my cell phone.
I’ve discovered that the “Random Shuffles” on them are decidedly not random. These things are posessed. Now, I have the SAME music on BOTH of them – the entire library is identical. Should be random draws, right?
Well, you tell me. Here’s what came up not five minutes ago:
Rhapsody:
Black Crowes – Remedy
Squeeze – Another Nail in My Heart
The Cure – Friday I’m in Love
The Smiths – How Soon is Now
Go On, Say It – Blind Pilot
iTunes:
Lyle Lovett – That’s Right (You’re Not From Texas)
Neko Case – Jettison
Billy Bragg & Wilco – Caliornia Stars
Pat Green – Wave on Wave
Shane Nicholson – You and Your Enemy
See? I’m not nuts – see??? Today Rhapsody wants me to be all rock/punk/new wave. iTunes wants me to be altCountry.
Is it any WONDER I can’t get shit done? Even my music players are conspiring against me!
(By the way…which do you think won this round?)

Definitely the alt-country one. I'm all over Shane Nicholson's shit as you know! And yes, this was from 2 months ago, but I'm slow…
