monday music selection
This morning I opened up iTunes and pressed play on Mermaid Avenue (Billy Bragg and Wilco). Over the day, Bing Crosby (skipped quickly), Bob Dylan, Bon Jovi, Carus and the True Believers, the Buffy Musical, Cat Empire, Chris Isaak, and (at the moment) Coldplay have all appeared. I tend to hit play and leave it, tuning in and out depending on how much I'm concentrating. This method can leave me with strangely appropriate, amusingly inappropriate or totally wrong soundtrack for the day.
In a moment I'll switch over to Magic Dirt, which I have found (for me anyway) is THE music for marking.
