- What better way to exploit the new iMix feature of iTunes than to revisit the grand ol' stinking pile of dung known as the What Do I Know Dumpster Diving playlist -- an excercise to find the worst songs on the iTunes Music Store and compile them all together in one handy playlist. Those with a strong stomach can now preview all the songs together through the Dumpster Diving iMix. With a little luck, and a few five star ratings, it'll be the Hasselhoff of the iTMS. |

To be fair, it was a decade ago now, and the loud young man who smashed things with a hockey stick has probably changed a lot. |
