And the driving playlist project moves onward...
18 years ago
Taking a moment away from working to post a little thinking on the playlist. I currently have 126 tracks in the driving playlist, for a total of 8 hours, 27 minutes of non-repeating playtime. Good so far, and I'm not through everyone's suggestions yet!
I think I'm going to make a maximum playlist of 500 songs. If the playlist ever were to go over that, then I think interested parties with the idea would voice their opinions for the "worst" songs to be replaced. All the same, replaced songs would be kept on a "Retired" list.
Speaking of individual lists, as I've been putting this thing together I've been faced with some tough decisions, and they've really made me understand that many people have many different tastes by way of genre. For one, I don't really care for country music, nor most metal, but there are undoubtedly people who do (certainly the metal one, as many people have suggested songs that fall outside of my tastes but are suitable candidates - I'm trying very hard to adhere to my guidelines for song selection!).
My tentative solution is to publish the list sectioned off by "similar" genre, which can be added on to a "Core/Must have" list of tracks that would fit on one or two audio CDs, which would be a sampling of all tracks (so a person could trim the Core down to a single CD to suit their tastes).
So, there'd be a "Core" list, and then "Addon Genre" lists, sort of a make-your-own sublist of the full list. Addons would be lumped together, like "Ska/Big Band," "Country/Western," and of course everything electronic would be composed into one list, from trance to trip-hop (maybe one separation). It's all kind of up in the air, but that's what I'm going with at the moment, I think it makes the list a little more flexible and accessible for people who don't want pick-and-choose their songs, so they can get their "I like everything from this genre" part of the list plopped right down without any work.
AND NOW, THREE SPOILERS:
(stop reading if you don't want any)
1) The most requested song thusfar, Muse's contribution is "Knights of Cydonia".
2) Making an appearance in a (so far) slim genre, the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra (I've found more furries that listen to this group than anywhere else) rips some awesome instrumental solos, perfect for late-night city driving, in "Guts for Saxophone".
3) And for a little touch of Vegas, Junkie XL pops up on the playlist with his remix of Elvis' "A Little Less Conversation".
