Aww. I really liked Joey's. I hoped it'd rank higher. I certainly ranked it a lot higher.
 
Oh my fuck, is that Pedo Bear?!?!?!?


How did you manage to go this long without pointing him out to anyone?!
 
Nice, higher than last time for me! Special thanks to those who voted my playlist number one. It was received better than I thought it would be!

A Forest, A City

This is my first playlist that isn't broken up into sections. I feel it's a full circle and can loop from the last song back to the first song, so it doesn't really matter where you start as long as the order is followed, but for the sake of numbering, I chose a beginning and an end. I hope you enjoy.

Huge surprise for me. Very disappointing, I had him first. Absolutely great and varied batch of songs.

He made my top ten. (That sounds so bad when there were only 16 lists, but there were so many damn good ones this time) That Yeah Yeah Yeahs song got stuck in my head for days.
 
Hmm, I don't think I got a chance to discuss this list in the other thread.

I really enjoyed the circular nature of the playlist. The fact that tourist put bands like The Bees and The Beach Boys around the Flaming Lips and Animal Collective and it flowed is still mind-boggling to me. Much to like here, although it lost me in the pop section towards the end.
