Colors, Part II
Aug. 19th, 2007 04:57 pmI didn't mean for it to be so long between the first installment and this one, but I somehow got caught up with other things and didn't get around to it until now. Anyway, here it is, part two consisting of blue and red songs, below the cut.
Below the 2-minute mark
Jul. 28th, 2007 04:33 amUsually songs that are less than two minutes don't do much for me. They're either over before they really have time to develop or are that short for a reason (because they aren't really worth the time in the first place). So, when I'm truly impressed by one of these songs, it's a pretty big deal. It also speaks well to the artist - that they can leave such a large impact in such a small amount of time. With this in mind, I set out on the task of finding the very best songs under two minutes in my possession. I started out with well over 300 but after weeding out dozens of meaningless thirty-second interludes, concert banter, and instrumentals (since I don't have many, I'm saving them as a theme possibility for the future) I began the pain-staking task of combing through the rest to narrow down my very favorites. The list slowly dwindled down to 50, then to 30, 25, and finally to its final stage where I couldn't possibly lose any more, 20. So, here it is: my top twenty favorite songs that don't quite reach two minutes - short and sweet and completely perfect that way.

Sun vs. Moon
Jul. 23rd, 2007 09:07 pmI was given the suggestion to gather songs with a sun and moon theme, so I decided to act on it and was surprised by how many songs I had that fit the bill. There were way too many originally for me to upload in a reasonable amount of time, so I cut it down to twelve for each category. A lot of these are among my very favorite songs, so enjoy.

Covers, Part 3
Jun. 19th, 2007 12:51 pmPart three, woo-hoo! There isn't much variety here, I must admit, with three artists with more than one cover... but they're all so good so it doesn't matter.

Singalongs!
Jun. 10th, 2007 04:57 pmHere are my favorite, as I like to call them, "singalong" songs. Basically, any songs that have some sort of group vocals in the "hey, I just invited anyone who happened to be around to join in" vein. And hey, they're pretty fun for the listener to sing along to as well.
Watery mix

pretty_music community. They're all very good therefore highly recommended. In fact, I am listening to them right now. And... they add up to about 70 minutes - the perfect length for a mix CD, right? ;)
