The Playlisted




This week, I thought that I would share what I have been listening to repeatedly.

Nouvelle Vague- Dancing with Myself

Nina Simone- Brown Baby

maylee- A Lullaby for My Fictitious Children

I realized how useful music can be in that you don't really need anything
to keep it with you. I have been forgetting my mp3 player at work and it
would be annoying to some people. The songs that I really enjoy are
already imbedded in my brain that I don't need the physical device.

In my humble opinion, my old player is actually a lot more musically
valuable than a lot of those
touch-screen-ones-that-shall-be-named. Lady Gaga sounds as
unoriginal as when Gwen Stefani did it the first time around.

The Playlisted has arrived!

This blog has been on my mind for a while and here it is being published!

With the condition called "have-to-have-my-music-on-at-all-times-tiasis",
everyone has become so isolated. Even in the middle of a subway train, during
rush hour, with bodies piled on top of each other.

I thought that this blog would help some questions that go through my
head when I see that lady I see in the morning, with the interesting
engraved wooden ring.
She is always bobbing her head. Who knows? Maybe she'll make
an appearance in the near future.
