iPod iChing - I got nothing

Sunny, glorious friday, as we head home.

So, we skip to the Great iPod and ask: what is in store for us in the near future, oh Great iPod One?

Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.

  • The Covering: Chilling of the Evening - Arlo Guthrie
  • The Crossing: Billy Bragg podcast #1- Prehistory to the end of Riff Raff
  • The Crown: Joyeux Anniveraire - Henri Des
  • The Root: Mexico - Morrissey
  • The Past: On Passing Lilac Urine - Half Man Half Biscuit
  • The Future: Inoculated City - Clash
  • The Questioner:Il Lamento di Federico - Three Tenors
  • The House: Christmas in Dixie - Alabama
  • The Inside: Krummi svaf í klettagjá - traditional
  • The Outcome: Joy Division Oven Gloves - Half Man Half Biscuit

The Questioner is a bit discomfiting - poor little goat.
The Inside is a tale of survival and scavenging during hardship.

The Outcome: satire on the shallowness of consumerism...
>Well I've been here
And I've been there
In my Joy Division oven gloves
I've been to a post-punk postcard fair
In my Joy Divion oven gloves

The Future:
The soldier boy for his soldiers pay
Obeys the sergeant at arms whatever he says
The sergeant will for his sergeant's pay
Obey the captain 'till his dying day
The captain will for his captain's pay
Obey the general order of battle play
The generals bow to the government
Obey the charge you must not relent

As always, the Key as explained by Sean


I went for a walk to inhale
The tranquil, cool, lover's air
I could taste a trace
Of American chemical waste
And the small voice said
"What can we do?"
