I had a request for the iPod playlist I built for long flights. It's twelve and a half hours of strange, droning esoteric music, good for drowning out the cabin noise and for drifting away to some secret abstract place as the plane powers forwards, twelve thousand meters over the Atlantic.

I'll probably put Eno's On Land album on too, I just haven't burned that yet. I spent about five years falling asleep to that album- I love the detailed dreamscapes it creates. When I was in SF a couple of weeks ago I bought some portable iPod speakers so I can pump music into my hotel room next time I'm stuck in a strange city. I'm looking forward to falling asleep to On Land again.
And on another note, it seems a little weird that I can copy an iTunes playlist and paste it as tab delineated text into BBEdit, but I can't move a playlist from the iPod to the host machine inside iTunes. What's up with that?
Arrgh, must sleep.
