Another reason to love Apple and the iPod


Recently, I decided to turn my iPod on to the 'Shuffle All Songs' mode. I thought it would add some spice to my daily listening habits. I typically get sucked into a certain genre or artist and play those songs to death before switching to something else. I figured this new approach would keep it fresh and help me remember why I have over 3000 songs on my iPod to begin with.

I started this little experiment last night and have to say it was quite enjoyable. Some songs I passed through and others I listened to thinking 'Wow, haven't heard this song in a while'. Then there are the songs that make you laugh. You don't laugh because the song itself is funny, but because you wonder how or why that song ever ended up on your iPod.

This morning was a perfect example. As I was leaving Barriques after ordering my usual Earl Grey tea, a 'classic' came on the iPod. Nothing like a little 'Ain't nothing but a G thang' by Dr Dre and Snoop Dog to get your head bobbing like a gangsta at 8 in the morning. I think I laughed the entire way to work.

Gotta love the 'Shuffle All Songs' mode on iPod - it's like a little window into what makes you who you are. Still trying to figure out what the Snoop Dog song says about me. Any theories?
