A few thoughts:
1. I still don't understand the Ipod's love of all things Ryan Adams. Once again, Ryan gets an airing, this time serendipitiously(sp?) followed by Whiskeytown, his former band. Other acts mysteriously receiving more than their pro-rated share includes The Clash, Dylan, and the Pixies (not that I'm complaining).
2. At least today featured a few acts previously unheard. New additions such as recent releases by Bettie Serveert and The Arcade Fire, along with just added old faves such as Liz Phair, The Who, and Bruce Springsteen were welcomed with open arms.
3. Haivng all of these albums at my disposal has certainly reminded me of the greatness of the Cure, Joy Division, and Nick Cave.
4. Although the sound quality of the Westerberg bootleg is great enough to mix with studio releases, it's a bit disconcerting to hear the sudden cut-off when the track is over. This also happens with albums where the tracks blend together.
5. Having voiced the minor complaints, I still contend that the Ipod's shuffle is the greatest invention ever. It's like having the greatest radio station of all time, with a pleasant surprise arriving every couple of minutes. Those few times when a song comes up that I'm not in the mood to hear, one quick click and it's on to the next tune.
