Playlist Anxiety

I guess in part we do define ourselves by what we listen, but my music taste is pretty much in the open anyways: http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/makalus/ is actually tracking my listening habits, and as anyone can see they are pretty much all over the map.

Not that it has anything to do with your fight over A. Simpson but I LOVE the GREEN AD for Napster on the right side panel.LOVE IT! Keep on ROCKING!;)

No shame here... But then, I work in a totally Wintel world. Mine is the only Mac in the entire company, which employs a few thousand across the country... The only way anyone knows what I'm listening to is when I plug in my iTalk late at night and walk around listening out loud. A sampling from latest played: Insane in the Membrane - Cypress Hill Head Like a Hole - NIN Sunrise - Duran Duran Work It - Missy Elliott Disco Inferno - The Trammps Spooky - Young Rascals Just A Girl - No Doubt Private Idaho - B-52's Mud Buggy - Southern Culture on the Skids old Batman TV Theme Take a Chance on Me - Abba Agua de Beber - Jobim Seven Nation Army - White Stripes Illegal Smile - John Prine Amerikkka's Most Wanted - Ice Cube Wannabe - Spice Girls I am SO not afraid to share. C'mon people. Shame is so 20th century!

Look, if I can share my iTunes library with a few Barry Manilow tracks in plain sight, I can't imagine what YOU were so afraid of, Bob! Still I draw the line at Ashlee and Britney and just about anyone else who ends in an eeeeeee (my own name excluded of course... and I actually have a lovely voice, I'll have you know) Pedro - ditch that /other/ crowd you hang with and stick with us :)

For a few weeks, i moved into a student digs, with a big LAN, and before i let my music library out onto the network, i binned over 2 gig of music i was embarrassed to let people know i own! What does that say about me?!

My office just got OSX, and hence the ability to share playlists, which I notice the rest of the office is slowly discovering. My anxiety is not in what others would think of my playlists (most of it would be completely unknown to them), but what I find on THEIR playlists. Some truly awful stuff. it's scary to find out who I'm working with.

I love this place!

Hey now.. let's not make my charting more difficult! Please keep your http://apple.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000880035464/ What Are Your Listening To? posts in the right topic. I'm pulling them all together for a analyses!

A little anxiety, yes. I just have to rationalize... um, I mean, realize... that it's OK to have Britney Spears - Toxic and other guilty pleasures mixed in with my "good" music. It's all subjective anyway, all about personal tastes. Except for Ashlee Simpson, since she's obviously a no-talent hack forced on us by the soulless music executives and their media toadies. Lipsyncing to pre-recorded formulaic drivel signals all absence of creativity, and the brainwashed state of the average brain-dead consumer. My, this asbestos suit is quite comfortable and fashionable. ;-) Right now, listening to White Zombie - Electric Head Pt. 1 (The Agony).

Pedro, Good catch! I'll go back and edit the post to mention how I hate DRM right NOW!
