This post, alon...Actually, that's a good question. This post, along with "Three Left Merges Across Traffic", is nothing more than a list of what I've been listening to lately. It's not even necessarily stuff I would recommend (for instance, I'm left a little cold by Marne Sterne, and after hearing Sonny Sharrock's "Guitar" album, I remember why I never listened to it when I owned it). "A Christmas Playlist", "Sun City Girls", and "Classic Rock Reconsidered" are premeditated playlists, and stuff I am recommending. I should really differentiate between to two.<BR/><BR/>No real purpose beyond that. Kinda a scrapbook, if you will.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and while I do load these onto mp3 players, my playlist mania goes back to my DJ days, or even before, to MIXTAPES. I used to always think of mixes in 45 or 90 min. increments, and now I think of them in 75 min chunks, thanks to the advent of CD burning.<BR/><BR/>As for the Badiou, Elijah may have some news in a couple weeks.Bill Zinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614494130260695458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009551625417231557.post-60871913079603930172008-12-30T19:41:00.000-05:002008-12-30T19:41:00.000-05:00Is there a generally understood purpose for "playl...Is there a generally understood purpose for "playlists?" This isn't a veiled criticism; just an honest question. I own neither an iPod nor a cell phone and I suspect play lists have something to do with them. I mean, do you create the play list and then listen to it? Or does your music playing device keep a log of what you've listened to recently and you just list the last <I>p</I> number of tracks and call it a playlist? Is sharing your playlist with others just a way of letting people know what you've been listening to lately or does a playlist necessarily involve premeditation of some sort? Looking forward to the cool stuff of the near future. Happy new year!<BR/><BR/>p.s. when's the badiou conference?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
