I finally went Apple on my phone. Where else could iI compile my 12,000 plus legal downloads? Each iPod(phone) has it's own unique shuffle patterns. I almost think it's Jungian in its intuition but then I remember I picked the songs in the first place. The ghost in the machine of this device is that it frequently picks Steve Marriott (Small Faces/Humble Pie), Bob Dylan, and Brian Wilson tunes(mainly from the 1st Brian Wilson Solo Album). Not necessarily a bad thing.
Marriott has machismo and soul. Dylan provides the poetry. Despite the pre-Pro Tools sheen of "Brian Wilson", the melodies stick in your head and never go away. The rest? A tasty collection if I do say so myself. I may not taste good but I have good taste.
