All sorts of serious and not-as-serious things to talk about -- Virginia Tech (serious), Don Imus (whatever), rogue Episcopal parishes (redundant?), the importance of early screening for breast cancer (serious), the politicization of (pick one) the Justice Department, the FDA, the military, healthcare (all varying degrees of seriousness and ridiculousness) -- and I'm choosing tonight to ignore them all.
Instead, I'd rather write something personally revealing. Which is music. I just exported a list of all the songs on my iPod that I've given five stars to, which is the basis for my "Favorites" playlist. (Or, to be precise, my "--Favorites" playlist, so it will show up first in the list.) I figure this says a lot about me, althought not everything. There's nothing classical or liturgical in this list, and very little in the way of jazz, for that matter, even though I listen to those genres pretty frequently too -- as well as podcast editions of NPR's Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me, The Splendid Table and Speaking of Faith; To The Best of Our Knownledge; audiobooks; and more of the genre "Pop Vocals-Classic" and "New Age" than is reflected in this list.
But this list reflects my ideal playlist if I owned my own radio station for a day, as it represents 22 hours worth of music, leaving roughly enough time for commercials and promotional spots. And, for pop music, it shows my tastes as well as any other list. (With the caveat that much of these songs either have never been "popular" or were popular so long ago, there's no radio station tracked by Arbitron that still plays them.)
There's much to snicker at in here, I know. And much head scratching for someone else's head. For example, why would anyone include Blue Öyster Cult and Wayne Newton on the same list? Or, for that matter, OutKast and Nancy LaMott? (Helen Reddy and the Indigo Girls probably makes some kind of sense, actually.) And then there's all that Bruce Springsteen, but also Cher ... and the Ray Conniff Singers, for God's sake!
I also realize there are a few duplicates in here -- two versions of the same song by different artists (I Could Write a Book; All of Me; Hallelujah; How High the Moon; New York, New York; Pieces of Dreams; etc.), two versions of the same song by the SAME artist (I Got You Babe, by Sonny & Cher; Les Nuits, by Nightmares on Wax; etc.) and a ton of covers (Birdland; Downtown; Peace Piece; Sexual Healing; Walk on the Wild Side) that are far better known in their original versions, not to mention several live versions of things (such as by Bruce, The Pretenders, and others) that never got as much airtime as the studio version, but have a cool energy added with a live setting. IMHO.
In the end, it's a bizarre mess inside my head, I admit -- full of kitsch, camp, and block rockin' beats -- but no Chemical Brothers, I notice. Anyway, here's Exhibit A for my commitment hearing. I've put a few in bold noting those that I think deserve more attention than they otherwise get.
