Playlist (for future reference)

[hummingwolf]

Since my one New Year's Resolution was to rate tracks from every genre with significant representation on Launch so that my station will be more interesting and I'll get to know more music, I figured it would be good to have a sample playlist from early in the year. So, for my own reference, here's a playlist from earlier today:

1. Neneh Cherry, "Kisses on the Wind"
2. Queensryche, "Disconnected"
3. Nik Kershaw, "Get Up"
4. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, "Everybody Gets the Blues"
5. Sheila Chandra, "Nana / The Dreaming"
6. King's X, "A Box"
7. Loreena McKennitt, "Between the Shadows"
8. Kina, "I Love You"
9. Ella Fitzgerald, "Sweet Lorraine"
10. London Symphony Orchestra, "Scheherazade, Suite Symphonique, Op. 35: II. The Tale of the Kalender Prince"
11. Depeche Mode, "Jazz Thieves"
12. The Corrs, "Radio"
13. Icehouse, "Crazy"
14. Solas, "The Poisonjester's Mask"
15. Roland Orzabal, "For the Love of Cain"
16. Underworld, "Pearls Girl"
17. Jackson Browne, "Everywhere I Go"

My station as heard from my alternate Yahoo account. Ratings profile at the time:
Artists: 173
Albums: 1,030
Songs: 11,368
Total: 12,571

Edit: May as well include an evening playlist too, though Yahoo's annoying me by overplaying albums on EMI labels.

1. Queensryche, "Walk in the Shadows"
2. Kina, "Stop"
3. Icehouse, "The Kingdom"
4. Secondhand Jive, "San Francisco"
5. Angelique Kidjo, "The Sound of the Drum"
6. The Corrs, "Would You Be Happier?" (live)
7. Patrick O'Hearn, "Equinox"
8. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, "Aberdeen"
9. Sheila Chandra, "Bhajan"
10. Bonnie Raitt, "Under the Falling Sky"
11. Dave Gahan, "Dirty Sticky Floors"
12. Neneh Cherry, "Buffalo Stance"
13. Beth Hart, "Mama"
14. Jah Wobble, "Everyman's an Island"


In other news: I don't remember much of my dreams this morning, but I do remember feeling vastly relieved when I discovered that my right thigh was not turning into a loaf of pumpernickel bread.

The weird thing is, my station doesn't seem like it has that much of a mix to me. I realize that, for most people, a playlist with King's X, Ella Fitzgerald, Underworld, Neneh Cherry, and the LSO doing Rimsky-Korsakov seems like it's got a decent variety. But for me, it's not enough to make a station that would get a commercial radio station's program director run out of town on a rail; I want to have a station that would have the program director drawn, quartered, and strung up by her intestines first.

Hmm. Maybe I'm just a musical masochist.
