And Number 1200 on the Countdown . . .
At this very moment, I am listening to the last song on my iPod’s random playlist of my entire library. I have an even 1200 songs on the Pod, and I need to put a few dozen more on. But I couldn’t plug the iPod in to resync it without resetting the Shuffle Song list, and by God I was determined to get through all 1200.
It’ll probably be a while before I try this again.
At any rate, oddly enough, songs 1199 and 1200 were both tracks from Don Henley’s End of the Innocence album. (And 1197 or 1198 was Matthew Sweet’s “Nothing Lasts.” Don’t tell me the shuffling algorithm wasn’t programmed with a sense of humor.)
