iPod iChing: indebted

steamy sultry friday, and the randomizer puts the Grandmaster on to remind me that it is iPod iChing time!

So, Mighty iPod One: the whole debt ceiling chatter - kabuki or crisis?

• The Covering: The Message - Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
• The Crossing: Telegraph Road (Live Remix) - Dire Straits
• The Crown: Black Coffee in Bed
• The Root: I Shot the Sheriff - Bob Marley & The Wailers
• The Past: Gridlock - The Pogues
• The Future: Twydale's Lament - Half Man Half Biscuit
• The Questioner: Dansi Dansi Dúkkan mín
• The House: Il Pieut Bergere - Sien Diels
• The Inside: Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
• The Outcome: O Little Town of Bethlehem - King's College Choir

The Crossing:
"Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
...
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And I don't want to see it again ..."

The Past: I didn't know The Pogues did a song called Gridlock...

The Outcome:
"The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
...
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us"

That is unusually optimistic for the iPod One!

As always, the Key as explained by Sean
