Jesusland stays in heavy rotation like whoah.

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I listened to it. It's been at (or near) the top for so long because: a) that Ben Folds album was one of the first that I loaded onto the iPod and b) it was the song I'd use to demo the iPod to my fam and friends.

Great song, though. But, as I add new songs (currently 7000+), things'll get diluted and have less of a chance of breaking onto the chart (unless it's a song that begs to played over and over - like the Belle & Sebastian one).

Does this iPod thing tabulate the song list itself, or do you have to?

Micah said...

It has a "Top 25" playlist that it keeps track of automatically. Pretty nifty. Of course, you could do it yourself in iTunes by sorting by "most played".

But this would all require that I purchase an iPod. I am enjoying being the only person who has not fallen for the vast Apple-wing conspiracy.

you are not alone, spydrz. I too live without an ipod. I do, however, own a mac.

Well, I was anti-iPod for many years, but then came around. Unlike my brother and brother-in-law, though, I am not a member of the Cult of Mac (yet).

Check out the Apple iProduct for a good laugh.

Yep I've seen that before. I remember the kinda cute girl second from the left.

Funny. I refuse to buy expensive sunglasses for that reason, but when it comes to portable music...
