Do we get to go through and suggest categories again?('Cause that was fun).
Heck, yeah! Fire away.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Hah, Tina, just tonight on the way home I was thinking that the new B&S is my favorite since Boy With The Arab Strap.
And the Arctic Monkeys are not the Second Coming, but a good fun band, so far.
The new CD I'm really looking forward to digging my teeth into is the Destroyer, which has friends whose tastes I trust rolling around on the ground making insensate noises of pleasure.

It's good stuff - a lot better than Dear Catastrophe Waitress , IMO.

No kidding. Just the way Darnielle was talking about it on his blog several weeks ago has had me tapping my foot in anticipation for a while. (I just really started listening to Streethawk and I looooove it.)
But I am waiting until my Emusic refreshes on March 2 because I have spent waaay too much money on music this month.
Fire away.
I'll save the few ideas I have until tomorrow - it will be an excellent way to spend a loooong Friday afternoon at work.

Do you still need another person for the round robin? I'm up for it.

I'm in for the round robin too!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm in.

Should we all suggest one category? Or as many as we want and decide which we're going to use? How many should we have?

Or as many as we want
This! Cause I already have five or six and I've got a long-ass day in front of me with nothing fun to do.
I suggest we have Corwood decide the categories out of our suggestions (because that is just way way easier than trying to come to a bullshit consensus). Since we are putting this up at a gmail account and not burning CDs, there is no time restraint other than how long do you really want to spend sending music files to a gmail account... Corwood's RR had 26. I think our last one was 25. I think around there somewhere is reasonable.

Round robin list: Lisah, Tina, Misha, Jon, David, Erinaceous, Kate, DX, and me. Three rounds! Anyone else?
Also, I say suggest as many as you want. 'Cause I'm bossy, I like the idea of me being the ultimate arbiter of the categories, but I also like people having the voice to veto categories they dislike.

On the one we're doing elsewhere, we tried to limit it to 80 minutes just to have another constraint on there. However, the rule is that all categories must be met, so some songs have to do double or triple duty. I like this rule, as frustrating as it is, simply because I think constraints give people cause to be more creative. Also, I think 25-27 categories should cover all our needs. What do you think?

You are missing SA. And maybe somebody else let me go back and check.
