Today... let's... shuffle by album.
- The Smiths - The Smiths. First song is Reel Around The Fountain
- Jennifer Nettles Band - Gravity Drag Me Down. Starts with: What You Signed Up For
- Blonde Redhead - Blonde Redhead. As lead off by: I Don't Want U
- Beulah - When Your Heartstrings Break. Begins thusly: Score from Augusta
- A Halloween compilation called "Ghouls With Attitude". First track up is a read-along reading of a story called "The Witch's Vacation", by Bruce Haack. There are little beeps at the places where you're supposed to turn the page. Can't find it on the web.
Got back from Cornwall on Saturday and I seriously considered quitting my job. Motivation is severely lacking at the moment.
Anyway, tunes! How do I shuffle albums in iTunes then? Oh right, Controls -> Shuffle -> By Albums. OK, here goes.

Wow. Every one of those links is an “official” video. Unusual.
So I’m going to listen to an album I’ve never heard before later – In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. It appeared in a Pitchfork readers “Best albums” list and I realised I’d never actually heard it…
a classic indeed.
might be a bit strange, first time through, though ! :)
1. The Fall – Slates (1981). Starts with Middle Mass
2. Frank Zappa – Make a Jazz Noise Here (1988). Starts with Stinkfoot
3. Glasvegas – Euphoric ///Heartbreak\ (2011). Starts with Pain Pain, Never Again
4. Eels – Electroshock Blues (1998). Starts with Elizabeth on the Bathroom Floor
5. Sonic Youth – Goo (1990). Starts with Dirty Boots
It took me 20 minutes to figure out how to get Media Monkey to shuffle by album.
