I've been off work this week. Enjoying those 7 hours of sleep a night. A few Newcastle Brown Ale's (made in Holland without that carcinogen to placate my fellow Americans)every day. I've particularly enjoyed my Iphone/pod shuffle. It was built on the mad obsession that I wanted to have 160 gigs of music just like Howard Bracco!! Howard was a mental health exec who had a lot of time to listen to music traveling this great state.
I only made it to about 90 with streaming, youtube, and actually buying records and CD's again. I took the Charlie Tuna approach. I wanted it to reflect my incredible taste and broad knowledge of music. This was mainly formed by the CD's I ripped from the libraries and my long subscription but limited selections from Wolfgang's Vault and E-music. From the vault, i probably have at least 4 hours of band introductions that can show up at any time in a mix. I even have songs that i downloaded but never listened to. Lots of pleasant surprises present themselves on an extended shuffle.
It always seems to be making a Jungian commentary on my emotional state too. How does it always know to play those songs about her?? There's no better day than taking naps, drinking coffee and letting my neuropathways diverge with my own special soundtrack.
