The New Year Shuffle

What with all the Chemical Brothers and Air and My Morning Jacket, the iPod that I got for my birthday several years ago has felt for a very long time like Rockford’s iPod. When he got his own iPod for Christmas this year, I removed the music I didn’t care for from mine. Our tastes do intersect quite a bit, but there’s a lot of stuff he listens to that makes my ears so, so sad.

Anyway, I thought this development was going to make my iPod feel more like my iPod. It seems, though, that it’s slowly turning into Poppy’s iPod. Fortunately, she’s small enough that I can still dictate her music. Small victories, right?
