Back in the old days of Finetune, CDRs, and mix tapes, I'd somewhat randomly throw together a bunch of songs to listen to. Maybe there'd be a theme. Maybe not. I'd give it a catchy little title, and listen to it once in awhile til I burned it out.
Now, though... I'm stumped.
I have tons of songs on my computer. Some I know and love. Some I've yet to really listen to. Some belong only with albums (remember albums?).
I don't know how to organize. How do you organize your songs? How do you pick which group goes onto the mp3 player?
The only thing I've done so far is... Have a folder for artists. Then, I put the whole lot of his/her songs onto the mp3 player alone. In other words, off I go, and it's Elliott Smith day. All Elliott Smith. Nothing else. Or, alright, it's a Spoon night.
I'm having a hard time grouping and listening to other songs. I don't know how to group them. I'm thinking, I can stick to my old school ways, and make "mix tape" playlists. A hodgepodge grouping of maybe similar, maybe not, songs? Is this what people do? Should I try to categorize them? I think I'd go nuts.
NEED ADVICE!!!

Manchester Orchestra
Free "Sessions" EP download.
http://www.myspace.com/transmissions
Includes sorta stripped down versions of a few songs.
There are others here too. I see Bon Iver.
Tried sending the "I Got Friends" mp3, but both "rich" and "yahoo" bounced it back to me.

Mighty Mike
Mike Jackson died and there was no action on this blog. Hmmm. Sales are thru the roof, the memorial was a massive debacle/rousing success depending on who you talk to, MJ was all doped up, and the estate is in shambles. He truly was Mighty Mike!!
On top of his game :
Bonus: Here's a moonwalk tutorial
At least this guy showed some class at memorial:

Happy 30th
The Sony Walkman turned 30 today. I remember my first one and I still have one in working condition (am I embarassed or proud????) . I also have a Walkman mp3 player. I guess I'm a sellout.
SPOON
I told myself I'd post a more thought-provoking entry next. Something beyond, "check out this free mp3." But when I find the newest Spoon song, how could I possibly resist?!? Spoon is my favorite active, current, relevant band. This new song does not disappoint.
