I'd love to stay here and be normal, but it's just so overrated

My i-pod really likes Blur.
No matter how many times I click autofill there will always be at least five Blur tracks. It makes sense for bands that I have lots of albums of, like RHCP, Alice Cooper and Queen. However I've only got one or two Blur albums.

It also seems odd that my i-pod would have a definite opinion in the whole Blur/Oasis debate of the 90s. After all at that time an i-pod was nothing more than a gleam in the eye of bright, young product designers at Apple.

Not that I mind any of this. In fact under the guidance of the i-pod I'm developing more of an appreciation for Blur.
I didn't pay much attention to music until around the time of the Spice Girls.* Also, listening to the music now and knowing what they're singing about in retrospect, I'm not sure I would have understood it so much at the time. But I suppose one doesn't notice these things as a pre-teen.

The other day I was walking along and the i-pod played Blur, followed by the Cardigans, and then the Happy Mondays. Apparently I have the i-pod of the nostalgia.

* It's perfectly acceptable for a ten year-old girl to like the Spice Girls.
