iPod Shuffle - like the Super Bowl Shuffle

Everyone knows that iPods have brains. They communicate through the iPod Shuffle.

I am going to communicate with my iPod.

"O iPod! May the first ten random songs be a cryptic message about my future"
"Also, iPod! May the next five be a cryptic message about my marriage!"

and the results:

1. Hounds of Love - The Futureheads (Kate Bush cover)

Hmmm...being scared of, then accepting, love. come on iPod!

2. Even Better Than the Real Thing - U2

I am assuming this is my iPod telling me I'm good in bed.

3. The Steward of Gondor - The Lord of the Rings

Okay, my iPod is exposing my geek-a-tron secret stast of dorktastic music. Thanks, jerk.

4. Birds - Eddie Izzard

I am beginning to lose hope in the forecasting abilities of the iPod..

5. One More Time - Daft Punk

Ohhh, good one iPod. I will be returning to school One More Time!

6. Trouble - Coldplay

And evidently not doing very well. Or, meeting Chris Martin while there...

7. Say Goodbye - Dave Matthews Band

Spooky. Saying goodbye to the past, the US.

8. The Face of the Earth - The Dismemberment Plan

This is about relationships quickly ending. Bad iPod. But I will be on the other side of the Face of the Earth.

9. Nickel Nickel Millionaire - Jawbox

Interpreting Jawbox lyrics is an exercise in futility. I will regard the "millionaire" as a positive spin on my future financial position.

10. Waterloo - ABBA

At a loss. Am I to surrender? Go to Waterloo station? Wear gold lame?

and now for the marriage....

1. New Star in the Sky (Chanson Pour Solal) - Air

Love is lovely. Thanks, iPod.

2. Stop Crying Your Heart Out - Oasis

Be strong while we are separated.

3. Believe Me Natalie - The Killers

I don't know the lyrics to this song but there had better not be any party in my marriage going by Natalie.

4. Slow - Kylie Minogue

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.

5. Earthbound - Burning Airlines

See above re: Jawbox lyrics. Cryptic, cryptic iPod.

end.
