What does your iPod like today?

ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago  or at  12:04PM on Monday, January 7 2008 in music

Today my iPod is serving up alot of Birthday Party and some Die Haut/Nick Cave. everything else is more angry guitar rock. this is out of a huge random songlist.

so... how's your Pod feeling?

AC/DC now... so its Aussie and angry

Tramdriver  said about 4 years ago:

I have a shuffle, but it is more about what I like as I rarely put shuffle on. I think I might replace Busdriver and El-P with GZA, Burial and Boards of Canada.


paulie  said about 4 years ago:

nas - i gave you power right now.

shuffle can be good, but today i need to control the vibe.


Modi  said about 4 years ago:

I have a CD player that can play mp3 CDs on random.

I haven't listened to it today.

In fact, I was wearing while walking around yesterday, and found it disorienting.


Reverb  said about 4 years ago:

BRMC. and LOUD


Lucydiamond  said about 4 years ago:

My iPod is liking The Who at the moment.

Actually, it doesn't really have a say in what it likes.


shaun  said about 4 years ago:

mine is fucking obsessed with Stereolab

problem is, i'm not.


Ghostface  said about 4 years ago:

The new Black Mountain album. FUCKING TOPS


Psyclops  said about 4 years ago:

Japancakes and Stereolab also!


shaun  said about 4 years ago:

i'm not putting Stereolab on my new iPod. no siree


andyr  said about 4 years ago:

Tim Rogers.


Modi  said about 4 years ago:

The big question is, why load music you don't like on your iPod in the first place?


de.foxus  said about 4 years ago:

i've got plenty of stuff on my ipod that i like a bit, but i don't love, or i really have to be in the right mood for, or there's a crappy song on a great album and i don't get rid of it...

i skip a lot when i hit shuffle.


andyr  said about 4 years ago:

I also have plenty of stuff on my iPod I don't particularly like.


whatwhat  said about 4 years ago:

mbv - loveless. following the los campesinos album, which i don't particularly like i've decided.


littlearch  said about 4 years ago:

i use shuffle to decide what i'm in the mood for, it finds something i forget i have, then i go and listen to the whole album


Ohyeah  said about 4 years ago:

i also find this bewildering.

the shuffle should not be an option. it is the reason why i think the ipod, although a handy harddrive device that stops me breaking my back by lugging cds, it is the devil's tool.


de.foxus  said about 4 years ago:

also, anonymous put a bunch of stuff on there he thought i'd like. he has a pretty good strike rate with this stuff, but some of it i should really delete.


shaun  said about 4 years ago:

i hate it when you hit shuffle and the first track is a 40 min Phil Niblock drone piece


andyr  said about 4 years ago:

i also find this bewildering.

Well, you know, you put stuff on there at other people's places or you put some records to review on there, etc, etc. It adds up.

what about the concept of a single, which was the norm in pop music until the 60s? there's alot of artists (Motown, early rock, early pop, probably some dance) thats better scattered through a collection then just listened to straight


Modi  said about 4 years ago:

You can rate them on the go but not delete them? What if the file is faulty? I'd still say it's a stupid machine that can't delete things without being attached to a bigger machine.

If the file is faulty then you skip it

and yes, it is a stupid machine... its meant to listen to your music and watch your videos on the go. Its very good at that


Ohyeah  said about 4 years ago:

Haha music nazi alert.

why yes yes i am.


Modi  said about 4 years ago:

If it's so good at that, why did Choice give the whole iPod range a shonky award last year?

I bet you're the kind of guy who puts a non working ballpoint pen back in the drawer you found it, just to fuck you up later, ain't ya?


socks  said about 4 years ago:

Why?


paulie  said about 4 years ago:

anonymous  said about 4 years ago:

i shuffle my 8 track cartridges like cards.


Friends Forever  said about 4 years ago:

lots of HEALTH today. But on a Creative Zen, not Ipod.


ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago:

Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, Boy Least Likely To, more Arcade Fire... mmmm stereotypical indie from 2 years ago


shaun  said about 4 years ago:

mine played two Black Moth Super Rainbow songs and tried to pull a Birchville Cat Motel 20min epic before I took the reins...


Reverb  said about 4 years ago:

nothing, because i left it at home =[


socks  said about 4 years ago:

'Thoughtful pop' playlist, including: Barrage, Guther, Love is All, The Sundays, Caribou, Broadcast, and so on.


shaun  said about 4 years ago:

i need to make playlists for my new ipod.

half the stuff i used to have i have to load back on, which is a laborious task. especially when you want stuff like the whole Magnetic Fields back catalogue.


socks  said about 4 years ago:

Ha!

I've never owned an iPod; I'm just borrowing my sister's. It's kind of nice to have, but I can live without it.


ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago:

my Pod is feeling old... Clapton, Van Morrison, Monster Magnet....


ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago:

pod is clever today. Baseball Furies - Johnny Casino - The Who - Nina Simone. great progression
