Radio TDHHope this helps!. As this is an impromptu set, what we have here is two hours of iTunes on random play. Results could be very varied.
Nope - completely random with no vetoing. There's 11,500 or so tracks so hopefully there'll be a mix of stuff. See! We've had dance, country and now metal!
Tresspassers William Tori Amos (who has just announced a new album in April/May, American Doll Posse, and also UK tour dates). Silversun (this isn't a surpise - iTunes always plays Silversun. Random, my arse! They're a great, under-appreciated UK group)
Oh, and initapplette, no worries. I was thinking that radio seems to have dropped off a little bit recently. The time difference between UK and USA means that I can sit here with a bottle of red open and play you stuff while you work. Which is cool. Anyway...
Joy Zipper (sooo overlooked, I love this group) Kat Flint (she needs help funding her debut album. Give her money!) Rainer Maria (uh, according to that article, they've recently split) Syd Matters (sings in English, blogs in French. Mon Francais est merde, so I've no idea what he's on about)
More Black Keys. 11,500 tracks and it plays 2 by the same artist in 2 hours? Rubbish!
A couple more after this as no one else has signed up and then I'm outta here.
I suspect the iPod's psuedo-randomizer is built like the Platte River - your collection may be a mile wide, but the psuedo-randomizer's view of it is only an inch deep.
