Today’s playlist is based off a song by HEALTH, who recently released an album, ::DISCO2.

Grooveshark is being very uncooperative and slow today- I’ll post a link later.

Today’s playlist is made up of some oldish hits – with the exception of Frankly, Mr. Shankly and Watching the Detectives. Those are just great songs. Also, does anyone else find it sad that all these “old” songs get grouped together, as if they were homogenous? I sure hope Eminem and Chris Brown are never considered equal.

2. Wouldn’t It Be Nice by The Beach Boys
3. Jack and Diane by John Mellencamp

Much Madness is divinest sense-

To a discerning eye-

Much Sense-the starkest Madness-

‘Tis the majority

In this, as All, prevail-

Assent-and you are sane-

Demur-You’re straightway dangerous-

And handled with a chain-

-Emily Dickinson, 435

My playlist project is progressing, as is the diagram. I’m also creating guitar picks from beach rocks, using sandpaper and polishing implements. I plan to carve some designs in once I buy a pick, too.

Also, here’s yesterday’s playlist.

BUT! I do have too pieces of good news –

Firstly, in my absence, I have acquired a glut (I love that word) of new music – nearly 900 new songs, in fact.

Secondly, and this is the true excitement, I’m in the process of creating a system of smart playlists in iTunes that cycles through my music based on how well I know it, creating a fluid 15 song playlist. This playlist features 1 song I know by heart, 2 I know well, 3 I merely “Know”, 4 I sorta know, and 5 I don’t know. Songs are switched between categories based on plays, though I still have to categorize all songs at the onset (I’ve done 61 of 940 or so albums so far), and no song played in the last day will be featured. This, friends and readers, will be REVOLUTIONARY. Well, no, not really, but for me it will be. I’ll make a flow chart (not quite, actually, but similar) in Illustrator and post it sometime next week.

Here’s today’s playlist-

1. Say Hey There by Atmosphere
2. Unstoppable by Drake
3. Still Got Love by Blue Scholars
4. Stressin’ by Ace Hood (Feat. Plies)
5. Girls and Fast Cars by Fresh Espresso
6. Follow Us by Big Boi (Feat. Vonnegut)
7. Champion by Kanye West
8. Volcano by Anti-Pop Consortium
9. We’re Always on the Wrong Side of Sunrise by Head Like a Kite
10. Spraypaint and Ink Pens by Fort Minor (Feat. Ghostface and Lupe Fiasco)

Yeah, that’s what’s goin’ on here. While I won’t be as presumptuous as to compare your disappointment at my lack of posts to, say, waiting for a delayed flight – oh, nevermind, I already have. Well, anyways, I’m staying with grandparents while my mother is in Utah, and I have no access to my music selection, so I’m afraid you’ll have to smell that airport disinfectant just a few more days.

SPOILER –

My next playlist will be based on the song “Girls and Fast Cars” by Fresh Espresso. Go check it out on youtube and grab a fistful of oxygen confetti.

Over and out.

Now I’m back in overcast Seattle, basking in the balmy mid-50’s. Normally, I couldn’t care less, but it’s summer and I just left mid 80’s weather. If I could capitalize numbers, that 80 would be capitalized.

I’ve got a nice chill, semi-poppy, soft rock playlist for today (or tonight, rather). Many of you are probably more familiar with Nirvana’s cover of song 10 – I assure you, the original is just as good.

Also, I’ll be leaving for Hawaii tomorrow – I’ll post if I have time, but I most likely won’t. So, farewell until the 12th. Have a happy 4th!
