iTunes Randomizer? We need to talk.
May. 24th, 2010 03:58 pmHey there, iTunes Randomizer - we've gotten along so well recently. Honestly, your choices while I was grading were apt and fun and helped make that entire process slightly less painful.
Thing is: right now, I'm supposed to be adding a chapter to "A Girl and Her Time Lord" - you know, that slightly crack-y, emphasis on the humor and increasingly absurd and dire situations handled with quips and the Doctor's customary aplomb? The least angst-y fic in my entire repertoire? Yeah, that one.
So, please to explain the fact that for the last hour you have played the following:

I mean, okay, the James Booker isn't on its face depressing, unless you hear it as a elegiac (which you know I do), but from there on we have the introspective, bitter, and wrist-slittingly depressive - you put Modest Mouse next to Nine Inch Nails. I cannot write humor on a steady diet of bitter existentialism. The only thing it's missing is Radiohead - and ye gads, you're going to start playing Pyramid Song now, aren't you? Yeah, that's right.
I know for a fact that there are no fewer than 12 They Might Be Giants albums to choose from in my library. Could you please work with me a little here?
