Playlist = You ?!
Have you ever had a delusional thought that your music playlist on your iPod or any digital players you have is actually you? Strangely Spooky… Huh?
One day I was hanging out at my friend’s spacious rooftop, enjoying cool beer, a ping-pong table, a cool hammock, and cool breeze, and cool buddies.
At that perfect moment, it did strike me that something was missing. That was music. So I proudly took out my iPhone and started bragging about having some music in my latest digital gadget. What a big mistake.
Since my always cool friend had an iPod dock station ready on the rooftop, we were soon able to enjoy our music moments, electronic, rock and jazziiii. It was a random play from my playlist and it was just perfect spring moments…until when… All of sudden from that dock station I hear some words about Ken and Barby (intentionally spelled incorrectly). No offense to the song, but I had no idea how the song ended up in my playlist (a typical denial).
My always cood friend gave me this sudden look and said “I can’t believe you have that song!!” Badly blushed, my upper head area was spinning pretty fast in an effort to find a perfect excuse to escape from being a ‘so uncool friend.’
“Oh, I didn’t know that it was there.” “Oh, actually, it’s not mine.” “It’s randomly shuffled, so it’s not my fault.” Blur, Blur, Blur. I think I used up all these excuses within 5 seconds right away. Sounds very convincing, right?
After brief awkward silence and drifting away from the topic a little bit, My always cool friend said again the magic sentence “I can’t believe that you have that song.” This time, he even shook his head.
After the long brooding months of deliberation, this is my final declaration. “I blame shuffles. Damn shuffles!”
So nowadays I directly go to the Pandora App on my iPhone and carefully choose artists. And play QuickMix, keeping my fingers crossed. So far, I’m pretty happy with my newly found identity.
Have you ever felt that “YOUR PLAYLIST =(equals) YOU”? And have you ever made desperate efforts to reestablish your true identity and regain your self-claimed innate coolness? If so, then say something to me, so that I know I’m not alone in this world.
Hello!, Very interest angle, we were talking about the same thing at work and found your site very stimulating. So felt compelled to comment a little thank you for all your effort. Please continue the great work your doing!
I am impressed, I must say. Very rarely do I see a blog that’s both informative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your blog is outstanding; the issue is something that not a lot of people are talking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to it.
This postis not actually showing up for me, I tried to e-mail you. Could you get back to me about this.
You created some exclusive shows there. I do a research within the concern and encountered most folks will come to an agreement together with your weblog.
I’m glad I choose to read this one. Nice work!
Very educating post, bookmarked the blog in hopes to read more information!
I got your link, thanks. It seems to be down or not working. Does anyone have a backup link or mirror? Cool that would help out.
This blog seriously keeps getting bigger every time I show up. You should definitely be happy.
This was a definitely very good submit. In theory I’d like to write like this also – getting time and actual effort to make a fantastic piece of writing… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain something done.
Getting embarrassed on national television is never a good thing, so it’s safe to say that Sunday night was nothing short of a disaster for the Colts
I truly love all of the hard effort you have done keeping this place here for everyone. I really hope this remains for a very long while.
Hello!
Didn’t find the contact info, that’s the reason why I am asking about this as a comment.
I am an IM profesional and I found your blog on Yahoo and I have to say that I like it, especialy the unique content! Let me get straight to the point: it might be a little bit bold, but have you ever thought about selling your blog? Because I would be interested in buying it and actually I’d love to do the transaction immediately. Please let me know!
Thanks,
