3 Decades, 54 Minutes
As some folks at work began sending emails around with music recommendations, I indulged in a bit of iPod introspection. It turns out that I’ve been stuck on The Cure lately – “Love Cats” just cracks me up. “So wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully… pretty.” [chuckle]
In that same thread, a friend pointed out 8tracks – a site for uploading and sharing playlists of music. In order to be street-legal, it has some bizarre restrictions (playlists must have at least 8 tracks with no more than 2 songs from any particular album or artist; the second time someone else listens to the playlist the songs play in random order, etc.) but is otherwise unencumbered. Don’t bother with old DRM-laden iTunes tracks, however – I had to re-buy a couple of tracks in order to get the more recent DRM-free versions.
Without further ado, please enjoy my first creation: 3 Decades, 54 Minutes. (Warning: some non-kid-friendly lyrics here and there, cf. “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails. I was going for musicality, and I frankly love every one of these songs, but they aren’t for everyone.)
