- Sunday Music: Playlist Of Playlists (2016-Now)
Best part about finding a song you like is saving it.
To remember it.
To play it when you need whatever it makes you think or feel.
It’s an experience.
Man.
Sometimes it’s a Time Machine.
Other times it’s a daydream machine.
Sometimes it’s both.
I like to take those songs and make a playlist.
Or a mixtape, or CD, or - hey, the tech has evolved.
That’s part of it too.
Mediums and messages and all that.
But I like to catalogue what I like in a list for future reference.
I used to be really good at this, almost ripping them out monthly, but then, starting sometime into the pandemic times, I guess I started trailing off.
Life phased me in and out of the habit before.
Tapes on the bedroom stereo. CDs once there was a computer. Better CDs once a friend with Napster showed up. iTunes. iPod. Smartphones. Streaming. Then… I guess I just got bored? Or life got in the way.
So now I’m diving back in.
I took the songs I liked.
I took the playlists I liked.
And now, for about the last 10 years, I made a playlist of the playlists.
It’s, like, 39 hours long.
I’m currently playing it on shuffle and it’s a time machine. A daydream machine. Can’t help but reflect when it’s on.
You too?
Send me your lists of lists.
