I've ripped a significant chunk of my rather eclectic CD collection now–about 2115 songs worth–8.3 gigabytes– according to iTunes . That's (theoretically) almost 6 days worth of music.
That much music, put into a random shuffle, generates some pretty interesting sequences of songs: the Beatles' “Here Comes the Sun” to James Cotton's “High Compression” to, er, Adam Ant's “Ant Music”.
And it gets one to thinking…what the hell does Dewey Bunnell mean exactly when, in Ventura Highway. America sings “alligator lizards in the air”? Was that all he could get to rhyme with “no despair”?
