music mixing

and as if it couldn't get more exciting (re: sarcasm), i did it, or rather, i started to do it on the internet a little while back, but i learned that the internet is a temporary sketch pad and it cannot be depended upon to store any creative play (or art or anything) permanently (yeah, so when will i decide to figure out how to download all my blogs so they don't all just disappear one day like the stars in the snl spoof of star trek?... and when i die... and so it goes), but i decided to let myspace fool me into believing that maybe myspace respected the music enough to maintain a stable archive so i tried again more recently, but i found songs disappearing at will and worse, my internet connection (thanks to continuously sucky (and quite expensive) att aircard service, 3g my pretense) is so bad i cannot listen and often can't even create a playlist so the main playlist is unfinished and only tentative... you can find the first myspace playlist here...

and then, tonight, i finally used windows media player to create a playlist from the few (3.5gb or so) cds i've ripped onto this laptop so far (impatient, i am, aye?... maybe a good sign)... it too is quite tentative as i only have a relatively few cds to choose from and there are many songs i feel fitting in that i have not ripped yet, so patients, again, and the finished product will flow eventually... but for now, you can find the first very-in-progress unfinished wmp playlist here (it's the next entry)...

i am finding windows media player quite quirky as it mislabels cds when it seeks cd info from the microsoft site and also it often gets the years wrong... but still, the magic is that i am moving closer to listening, maybe hearing, maybe feeling, maybe experiencing, maybe being in the words and the music again... am i still crazy after all these years?... of course, but am i still standing?... most likely, but how erect, that be the question... and we shall see...

wonder of wonders, aye? :)
