If you want, you could send your mix to me and I'll upload it.

See there is no reason for you not to. Play, Sue, play!

I'm intrigued by this. What does a round-robin entail?

Mind blowing fun and life-changing new tunes. Or, OK, really it's just searching through your iTunes a lot, writing liner notes and watching your browser chug along as it sends giant files to a gmail account. But - still - fun!

I'm not happy with my list of categories yet - I will ruminate on it over lunch.

I'd be happy to play along. Sound like fun. I know I'll be hearing new music, not so sure the rest of you will get too much new music from me, but I'll play.

Fantastic!

Here's a few category suggestions:

• Soundtrack to your morning commute. Must be instrumental or, at least, wordless.
• Evokes (implicitly or explicitly) one of your favorite passages from one of your favorite books.
• Cross-genre cover song (such as a rap song covered by a country artist).
• Political but not preachy
• Quotes another song, either in the music or words
• Makes you want to get high, drunk, or, if it's your druthers, dizzy & giddy from spinning around in circles.
• Features a great bridge.

Features a great bridge.

Musically, or literally?

That's between you & your god.

Features a great bridge.

Musically, or literally?

Has anyone seen the bridge? Has anyone seen the bridge?

Where's that confounded bridge, anyway?

Here are mine/the ones I like from C.I.'s liner notes:

• Song from an album that you denounced as crap before ever hearing but now like
• A song with an exclamation point in the title
• A song from the top 25 on the Play Count list on your iPod
• A song released the year you turned 21 (you didn't have to know about it then necessarily)
• A song dedicated to your nemesis (or who you imagine your nemesis to be)
• A song by an artist introduced to you by an ex that you can still listen to without wanting to punch things or throw up
• A song you first knew only from seeing its video
• A really great song from a mediocre band
• A song about committing a crime
• A song from a tribute or charity album
• A song about kissing
• A good song that is on almost any jukebox in almost any bar
• A song with a year in the title
• A song about traveling
• A song that references another song by the same artist

ETA:

I like these a lot:

• Quotes another song, either in the music or words
• Makes you want to get high, drunk...
• Features a great bridge

ETA the second. A few more of my own:

• A song you think you sing really well
• Your favorite song to play air guitar to
• A song that does not feature a guitar or a piano as the main instrument

Board-related categories would be cool, too, like:

• A song that makes you think of BTVS that was never used on the show.
• A song by a band you found through the Buffistas.
• A song by a band that you could have, but didn't, write about for Lost in The Grooves.

Other suggestions:

• An upbeat song about a sad thing.
• Midnight driving in the rain music.
• A song about buildings and/or food.

I have my cross-genre cover picked out already, not that I want that to influence Corwood *g*

I would like to add

• More cowbell: A song containing that essential instrument (and maybe this is played out since iTunes did their list, but I have the perfect song!)
• Words to music: a song that was originally, or quotes heavily, a literary work. (Example: One of Many by Vic Chesnutt. Lyrics are a Stevie Smith Poem)
  
• A song you cannot not dance to.

Excellent categories!

Hey, I had you in mind when I wrote it. And where's msbelle? Does she know about this?
