So when you list the songs heard via iPod on shuffle, are you writing them down as they play, one by one? How else would you remember the tracks and the order? And does that make you loathe to listen to iPod on shuffle when you CAN'T keep track of what you've heard?
If I am sitting, relaxing and listening, I just write titles down. If I am out and about with the iPod, you can always just use the back button. I don't loathe the iPod at all.
Ha! not loathe the iPod, but just wary of listening to a random shuffle if you can't keep track of it. It's been so long, I forgot you could go backwards and recreate the random mix. Certainly can't do that on Spotify!
Finally finished the latest John Lennon compilation. I really enjoyed hearing his voice and hearing his songs; left me sad thinking of how we've been cheated out of the last 40 years of music from Lennon, not to mention his presence in the world in the political sense. I'm sure he would have been a wickedly funny tweeter. The 36 track set certainly sounds good, though like so many of those done for him, it seems pretty randomly, poorly chosen. I admire the hell out of Angela Davis, but the single supporting her is not a keeper. I'd quickly dump at least a dozen tracks. Oh for the days of a single disc greatest hits set to define an artist, rather than a sprawling catch-all. And I love Double Fantasy, but including every single Lennon song from it on this compilation is just silly and imbalanced. And three from the leftovers of Milk & Honey is prob three too many. But gosh I miss him and "Instant Karma" is a great idea. If only it happened more often.
I agree with some of what you're saying, though not that this set was "randomly, poorly chosen." I think Sean made a good case for his inclusions, even if we could have made a better compilation.
"Cleanup Time" is the one track that is not here from "Double Fantasy." It was also the only one of two, the other being "Dear Yoko" that was not a single. At least I don't think "Dear Yoko" was a single, but makes sense that it's here.
The quality of the remixes blew me away, especially on the "Walls & Bridges" tracks. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
If I was allowed to do some editing, I would get rid of the following:
Angela
Come Together (Live)
I Know (I Know)
Bless You
Angel Baby
Every Man Has A Woman
I'm Stepping Out
It would still need to be a double, as I would need to add in their place:
Mother
Remember
Crippled Inside
Nobody Loves You When You're Down & Out
