So I've been trying to reconstitute my cousin Stephen's "Forgotten Favorites" smart playlist. It's the only one I've heard him mention, and he has brought it up, like, the past three times I've seen him. I figured it must be a pretty impressive playlist if it's his default discussion playlist. It gets high-rated songs that haven't been played in while, so it's like an aural surprise and a pleasant one at that.
It appeals to the part of me that wants everything to come out even — a pathology that I trace back to being a fan of the Frances the Hedgehog books, about a little girl hedgehog who, among other things, eats all her meals so that they came out even — and the part of me that wants to not have to listen to some of the dreck I have stocked my iPod with.
Further fuel for the random playlist that creates a democracy out of my iPod music, Stephen pointed me to this website which is chock full of great ideas. Also very much for the OCD musicphile males that walk among us. The kind with jobs that only last 40 hours a week and who make enough money to waste a great deal on their technology and music collections.
I'm going to have to get over my music library as a dinner plate. And if that means that "Mo Money Mo Problems" makes it on to my Top 25 Most Played list, I will just have to deal.
