Formula #51: Complaints, leading into a list

Another in an unfortunate series [1].

Muni was slow again today (shocking!). And plus, I didn't realize that they'd raised their rates again (to $1.50), which, if the service actually worked, wouldn't bother me so much. So I was upset, at the slowness and all. And it was really hot out, and after being in New York for the weekend, that kind of annoyed me, too, because I'd kind of like a proper fall, where the sky is perfectly clear and bright, but the air is warm-coat cold.

And plus, so my Shuffle broke a couple of weeks ago, and completely refuses to mount on my computer. And it's also out of power.

So I've been using my trusty 3-year-old first generation iPod, which still manages to do a very good job of shuffling. Witness, from this morning:

1. Gang of Four, "At Home He's a Tourist"


2. Jackson and his Computer Band, "Fast Life"


3. Selena, "Como la Flor"


4. MC Solaar, "Matière Grasse Contre Matière Grise"


5. Scott Walker, "Rosemary"


6. Franz Ferdinand, "What You Meant"


7. The Clientele, "My Own Face Inside the Trees"


8. Dios Malos, "EPK"

[1] Well, unfortunate for you, but quite fortunate for me, because it's something for me to write.
