Holiday Sampler Vol. 2

Another random mix of Christmas music to make you happy! And maybe distract you from the world (not) ending tomorrow. This was a matter of typing the word 'Christmas' into my iTunes library search feature and then swearing at Apple for messing with a good thing. iTunes was fine before they updated it, now it's just gawd awful.

Seriously, for Christmas, do not update your version of iTunes, if you haven't already. If you have, my condolences. But look at it this way -- you have one more reason to want the world to end, if just so you don't have to use the new horrible iTunes.

My First Xmas (As a Woman) -- The Vandals
Last Christmas -- Wham!
The Fairy Tale of New York -- The Pogues
Snoopy's Christmas -- The Royal Guardsmen
The Angels Cried -- Alan Jackson

Totally Random v3.0

The last non-Christmas music playlist for at least the next 15 days. Get ready for the onslaught of merry music, folks.

Again, today is a random mix spit out by iTunes on shuffle because I'm still trying to find a few more Christmas songs that I can tolerate.

You'd be surprised how many songs are overplayed out in public to the point where if I hear them one more time, I might go into an angry-screechy-monkey rage and rip speakers out of the ceilings in whatever office I happen to be in at the time.

Anyhow...
I should get back to that search.

Track listing:
'Rhythm is a Dancer' by Snap
'Oyster Mud' by Chuck Carrier
'Doctor Who Closing (Scream of the Shakla)'
'Dance With Me' by Orleans
'Danza Del Ventre' by Amr Diab, Khaled & Cheb Mami

Totally Random v2.0

I liked the nice (read: weird) mix of music iTunes threw back at me when I hit random for yesterday's playlist, so I did it again for today. I'll do it again for tomorrow's playlist too. I'm not lazy -- I have to find 75 Christmas songs that don't make me want to vomit from hearing them 1,000,000,002 times. 

Yes, that's right.
Christmas music.

Starting December 10th, it will be daily Christmas music playlists. I'm thinking it will break down into themes, like goth, country, opera, traditional, Broadway, things like that.
