Random Stuff

[bookzombie]

1. I've started on a silly 'in car' project. I'm listenting to all the tracks I have uploaded onto the computer in alphabetical order. This came about because I realised that I was frequently listening to the same tracks and there was some stuff I had not listened to for years.

The only rules:
1. I don't skip any tracks, even when I've got 3 or 4 versions of the same song (as you can imagine, musical theatre soundtracks and compilations are bad for this. Three versions of 'Another Suitcase in Another Hall' yesterday...), or different recordings of the same song by the same artist (so live versions, different album versions.)
2. Two exceptions: I skip any exact duplicates and I skip Christmas songs.

I'm about half-way through the 500-odd 'A's and still finding it a fun exercise. It'll take me a long time to get through everything though...

2. Bizarrely, I seem to have ended up on the mailing list for The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). I have no idea how this has happened. I've asked several times to get removed (as I've pointed out I am neither American or anyone's daughter!), and actually got a human reply this time. Hopefully that should sort things...

I want to review my whole collection without letting parts go unheard while others are repeated, but I don't want to have to adopt the discipline of alphabetical order. I wish there was a shuffle that was like picking marbles out of a bag without replacement, instead of the more common shuffle that's like picking marbles out of a bag with replacement. When all the marbles were out of the bag, only then would the bag be refilled.
