The Ipod Experiment
i was driving in my car one evening, and handed my ipod to aaron to choose an album to play, to which he replied, "how about we play all of them?"
i said, "no, you're crazy, that would take months to play out..."
pondering that one statement sparked an inner curiosity. how many moments of my life can be cataloged into a song/album that has been etched into my memory? why do i automatically push the "shuffle" button, or opt to listen to the same 12 albums when i have an array of 6000 songs? what divine secrets, what horrible noise, what fantastic memory do i have hidden in this box of mechanics?
to which i devised:
The Ipod Experiment
the rules are quite simple, really. list artists to "all", and push play. go with it. DO NOT under ANY circumstances push skip, unless the following occurs:
i'd like to see what everyone 'logs' for this experiment, for i will attempt to do the same.
here we go!

- a track is severely damaged, to the point where it is 'unlistenable'
- a track is empty
- if the title has no irony or poetic connection to the extended 'silence', then it is skip-able
