For the past few weeks on Twitter, Dave and I have been relaying the results of shuffling our music collections on Friday. (I also did a little bit last Saturday when I was on a long drive, which was probably not safe, but it passed the time.) I’ve mentioned this before.
The point of the exercise – at least to me – is to be reminded of those songs that I love but have fallen by the wayside due to the constant rush of music I find myself under. My life is so inundated with music from every angle that it’s nice to escape the confines of my “Recently Added” playlist once per week.
In fact, I’ve been setting my collection to shuffle most of the time when I don’t have something to listen to. If you haven’t noticed, we’ve made a concerted effort to post twice per day here – and the afternoon post is quite often what has bubbled up in my brain as a result of the shuffling process.
This morning’s song is in that same boat. This was probably one of my top played songs of last year, but this year it’s down to a mere 5 plays for the entire year – once every two months or so. And frankly, it’s too good to be relegated to that.
