thanks guys.That list was GREAT driving music. Also the only list I've ever critiqued to the creator irl
i'm just glad i didn't place last, so 12's good for me. the only thing i wish is that more people had commented on it so i'd know what wasn't liked about it.
happy een?

In the way Jack White obsesses over the number three, I obsess over the number four. It's only fitting.

These boxes were not necessarily ticked as you were listening.
I placed GAF first, so I'm very glad to see him get the credit he deserves. Would have rather him be second though, with mine yet to place.

We have our third two-time champion...
And you don't know how hard it was to tell you to stop complaining earlier when I knew you had won the whole thing.

If I've gained a reputation for anything in this competition, it's perfectionism, particularly in regards to sequencing. I tend to spend a lot of time tweaking that facet of my lists, but this entry took that to an extreme; I have been working on this list (on and off) for the past 18 months, and the version of it you see today has been drawn from two other versions, tacking on a few of my recent favorites while taking the best unique choices from its ancestors. The result is, surprisingly, not a mess at all; you couldn't pass this list off as conceptual, but recurring themes of love, loneliness, restlessness and self-discovery pop up now and again. The original version of this list was comically diverse musically, but it has since cohered into something that I feel represents my tastes exceptionally well; if nothing else, this list will give you a reason not to bother with my subsequent entries...at least until I break out my Estonian chillwave list for DI13.

I'm about half done with one, and we all know Travis has about 20 saved on his computer.
In fact, not going to lie, I watched him make a DI list today. Not like, over the shoulder, but, it was amusing.

I think I need to listen to a lot more music I haven't listened to yet before I can actually start. That and my iTunes is still relatively small since I deleted it to upgrade everything to lossless....
I've never actually watched someone make a playlist. I bet it's riveting.
