The Track List

This post's for you, Justin.

First, check out this great grammar refutation from o1mnikent.

I just spent the weekend making a giant playlist (192 songs, 163 different artists) in order to reveal a small cross-section of my iPod (to myself), and to hopefully expose lots of people to music they've never heard. Except Devon and Justin. They will have heard 100% and 95% of this playlist already, respectively.

Feeling bored? Scan the whole list, then leave a post letting me know the approximate percentage of this music you are familiar with. This will help me determine whether I have been suitably unusual. Also, the track list is all insanely formatted due to copy & paste, so, you know, have fun with that.

Thanks for bothering.
