(no subject)

I have spent (seriously) a day and a half mucking about with CDs and music files and ripping music files from CDs to my hard-drive, in order to create a Pretty-Boys-in-Makeup playlist.

It is 65 songs long[1], and amounts to about (maybe a little under) four hours of music.

Ye gods...

I am, perhaps, a little bit obsessed.


Currently running through the thing to see if it flows decently.

[EDIT: Okay, it flows fine, so far. The only jarring bit is I've got "I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You" (Savage Garden) sandwiched between "Minority" (Green Day) and "Under Pressure" (David and Freddie), and I think it would flow better if "Under Pressure" and "I Knew..." were switched.]


One of them is the 5-part "Jesus of Suburbia" piece by Greenday, which is just about 10 minutes long. This is unfortunate, because it means the first 20 songs don't quite all fit on one CD. Not all of the files are Mp3 format, though, and this may be part of why only twenty nineteen songs will fit on the CD.
Any thoughts on this? :-)



In other news: I finished showing "Nazi Occult Conspiracy" today, and it wasn't a complete disaster! Yay! :-D People actually had questions and I was actually able to answer them. Yay! :-D

So that went well enough. Hurrah. :-)


Now to type up my Choir Meeting notes. Whee! :-)


- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-)


[1] It contains songs by My Chemical Romance, Greenday, AFI, 30 Seconds to Mars, Fall Out Boy, the Killers, the Rasmus, Savage Garden, Green Day, and David Bowie.
I'm not entirely sure that Savage Garden really fits the theme, but we'll see how jarring it is as we go along. :-)

<*takes fish dinner off the stove*>

Mmm... Salmon. :-)
I'll be able to eat lots of fish in the coming week, 'cause Paul is out of town. :-)
(That said, I have been eating heaps of tuna lately. <*hopes to avoid mercury poisoning*>).
I rather miss trout, though. Haven't had that in a while. :-)
Mm. Trout. :-)


Anyway. After that little Ode to Various Fish... I'll leave you to do what you like. :-)
