I’ve entered the 21st century by picking up a smartphone with my phone plan.

It’s a bit of a novelty, but in all honesty I have a certain ambivalence to being permanently tethered to the real world via mobile communication. Which explains why my ring tone is “Communication Breakdown” by Led Zeppelin.

Regardless, I’ve got about 8 GB of memory on the phone and I set about putting together a playlist that could both energize and entertain, should my trusty Sony Bean breakdown.

So, without further ado, my iPhone playlist, The Two-Ten.
