What does your iPod have to say about dear old Dad this week?
Entire song list report: Started with “If I Can’t Have You”, by Yvonne Elliman. Finished with “Industrial Strength Tranquilizer”, by the Austin Lounge Lizards, song #2443, for 72 songs this week. It totally felt like more than that, but that’s what it says. I made it through all of the “If” and “In” songs, with the “It” and “It’s” songs yet to go.
Ripping vinyl report: No vinyl ripped this week. My schedule’s a little more packed than usual over the next couple of weeks, so it may be a bit of a dormant period for the USB turntable. We’ll see how it goes.
