In which I prove that I am a big music nerd

I doubt you need much more proof, but after talking about music with some people recently, I realized something that I find extremely nerdy and funny: I listen to my iTunes on Party Shuffle mode, yet thats not quite enough. Not only does it play based on a smart playlist (which is based on several cascading smart playlists), but I actually re-order the tracks as they appear in the queue (of which I have set only at 20 songs), in order to be a total DJ nerdfest. For example, here is a little playlist sampler of how clever I think I am:

  • Modest Mouse – Breakthrough
  • Skull Kontrol – False Ceilings
  • Sadaharu – Memoirs of My Time in Purgatory
  • Rainer Maria – CT Catholic
  • Tight Bro’s From Way Back When – Make It A Habit

See? That shit is genius. Another stream that happened right after that: (I can’t always connect them since I have such a short queue. This disappoints me greatly.)

  • Scene Creamers – Session Man
  • The Donnas – Hook It Up
  • Beehive and the Barracudas – Dirty Soughts
  • Braid – Killing A Camera
  • X-Ray Spex – I Am A Poseur
  • Harriet the Spy – Sleeping Through the Money Shot
  • Thee Headcoatees – Come Into My Mouth
  • And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead – Days of Being Wild
  • The Rondelles – Six O’Clock
  • Slint – Good Morning, Captain
  • Barry Manilow – Looks Like We Made It

See? That’s really dumb and nerdy that I make up little novellas based on my music playlists. I know noone else is watching (unless they were keeping very close tabs on my last.fm page), so it’s all just for my own enjoyment, but I still do it. Any one else care to fess up that they do this too? Am I the only one?
