of several drafts

I like it when I can't feel my headphones.

I'm wearing a really... *really* odd hat I just finished, and between it and my ever-lengthening hair, the sensations of earbuds gets lost. My music is at the perfect volume to where maybe, just maybe, it's coming from inside my head.

If only I really had such clarity and recall of this wide variety of songs.

a sampling-

Part of the Machine - Jethro Tull
Rock 4 - Maxis
Sister May I - Voice on Tape
No One Lives forever - Oingo Boingo
Small Children-in the background - mogwai
Preston Miller - Tracy Grammer
Roll Over DJ - Jet
On The Outside - Oingo Boingo
Sunshine - Keane
A Little Rain (live) - Tom Waits
Reunited - James Horner
Sandy's Tune - Eartha Kitt
Take It Or Leave It - Jet
No Spill Blood - Oingo Boingo
take me home - Crystal Gayle
Rock 1 - Maxis
Side - Travis
Temptation - Holly Cole
Marche du Capitulation - Triarii
Liar - Three Dog Night

And I left out some Squaresoft tracks, because their game placement codes don't really translate to comprehensible song titles.

But looking back, some things surprise me.

1) Out of the 1100+ songs on my mp3 player, 34 played, and of those 34, three were by Oingo Boingo, three were written by Tom Waits, and two were by Jet. While I have an extensive Tom Waits collection, Jet and Oingo Boingo aren't huge.

2) YouTube had videos for all but 2 of the tracks I sought. I didn't even check for the Maxis/Sims songs until the end, but surprise-surprise, there they were.

The Voice on Tape tune not being there isn't a shock.

3) how much time and effort I put into looking things up on YouTube.


It's bedtime. Stay here. I miss you.

(but it's very appropriate, so take this one last song from the shufflin' playlist)
