Another D'oh! Moment

[omorka]

So I'm reading bassfingers's article on his playlists, and thinking about the way I do mine (nothing like his, mostly; they're a mishmash of by-date or by-decade, and themed lists/compilations), when I realize that I have not ripped any of my Loreena McKennitt.

I am an idiot.

Obviously, I rectified this immediately. :)

Oh, yeah, playlists. Here's a sample of my titles, with descriptions:

'80s Music (anything in my library with a date between 1980 and 1990 inclusive)
'90s Radio Remix (everything with a date between 1990 and 1999 that I remember hearing on the radio)
Aye, There's the Rub (songs about masturbation)
The Compulsive Compilation (things that I frequently get as earworms and have to play to get rid of)
Driving the Boys Crazy (songs in which a girl having a car is an issue for the guy singing)
Good Humanist Songs (self-explanatory)
Sex, God, and Rock & Roll (any song that connects the three)

It's pretty much all like that, although some of my titles are a little opaque (I have a list titled Dancing About Architecture, for example).

For some reason, I find the fact that you have a playlist for this to be absolutely hilarious.

Please tell me you have Little Old Lady From Pasadena in there. :-p

Not at the moment, but that'll definitely be the Crone song in the collection!

Why is it funny? It's a remarkably common memeplex in USian pop music, especially during the '60s and '80s. (In fact, in several cases, the imagery is so blatantly Freudian it makes a mechanic blush.)

I know it's not uncommon, it just seems like an odd classification for a playlist.

I always thought it was that the guys couldn't tell the girls from the cars, until the surfers came along and redefined women to be the equivalent of the perfect wave!

Dancing about Architecture

I have an album by a guy named Trip (used to be a local bass player) called Dancing About Architecture. It's mostly mellowish bass jazz something but not unlistenable. It might help you fill out your DAA list some.
