Skip, skip, skip to my Lou

This article in today's New York Time's (subscription may be required), talks about how the iPod seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to shuffle preferences. Seems kind of odd to feature it in the paper now, since the iPod has been out for a while. Nevertheless, I found this particular passage amusing:

"It is truly bizarre," said Mr. Cedarholm, who no longer likes Fugazi. "Before, it was this hidden gem, and when I heard them I would be like, 'Oh yeah. Fugazi. Cool.' "

Now he hits the Fast Forward button.

And now the NYT's writer show her age. Maybe not in physical years, but in mindset. Fast Forward? What is this? 1977 in front of Mom and Dad's tape deck? I think not.

Skip, people, skip. Mr. Cedarholm skip's through his music.

With one term, the NYT's sounds positively dowdy.
