Today I felt particular anxiety because my friend was not responding to my text messages and I wrote him rather revealing email a day before so I was worried that he took offense. I tend to be very open in my emails and share my intimate secrets if I consider you a friend, but not all people accept such sincerity. So I concocted a playlist to chill me out - all the records of Portishead, all the records of Emiliana Torrini and all the records of Meadieval Babes mixed evenly and stirred to acquire perfectly shuffled blend. I was tempted to add Loreena McKennitt to this mix, but I found out that she overthrows other musicians fast and makes me listen only to her heavenly voice, so I decided not to add her music to the mix. The mix contains right now 196 items for 12.4 hours of continuous playback. Naturally I was planning to listen to it that long. It was going to be a long day. The mix worked wonders. My spirit was refreshed by soothing vibes and angelic voices and I found out that 12 hours passed without me noticing. I updated tons of star ratings for the songs on this list. To this day I'm not sure if I heard all of the songs of aforementioned artists as I tend to listen to albums at random, even to new ones, so there always is a possibility that some songs were omitted due to random chance. Gotta love iPod shuffle feature, I can never decide what song to listen next and this way one more worry is off my head. Tell me what you think about my mix. Oh, I of course own all the CD's of those bands, but play only the digital versions of their songs. CD's are just so clunky to use. BTW I was listening while under influence of weed mixed with occasional powdered Ephedra Sinica to get a mix called (by those in know, like me ;-)) "Herbal Ecstasy". Happy scrobbling!
