It's complete--my playlist. It contains a grand total of 153 songs. The only thing I have left is minor tweaking. I handpicked each song but I didn't have enough time to vet them completely. Why would I need to vet them? Because most of it came from my little brother's collection.
This endeavor showed me just how little I've expanded my taste since I was a kid. I'm easy to please. I can listen to the same thing for days and not get tired. I'm economical with my listening. It's not like I need hours of music since I hardly go on trips that last longer than thirty minutes. It's only on rare occasions that I have go out of my way and scrounge up material. Last time, I slapped together a lame list and it really soured the trip, even if it was just me.
My playlist this time leans heavily into indie, so I balanced it out with some club/dance/electronic/whatever the hell you call it. I added some video game tunes because they're awesome. After that, the instrumentals seemed overpowering, so I sprinkled in some classics to keep us on our toes. We could always use a bit of cheese during the trip.
My most glaring omission is the lack of hip hop. What can I say? It's not that I don't like it; I'm just not a fan. Anyways, the theme of the trip is hype, energy, and a bit of relaxation. It has to get us into the correct frame of mind. By the time we get there, we would have absorbed enough music to paint the town red.
Now, it's just a matter of ordering them. Yeah. I don't do shuffle.
