Now Add a Dash of Soul... or Rock and Roll?

So I think that the finer things blog is the perfect spot for a new regular feature for ITUNES!

(Yes, Apple, if you're tuned in then this would be the perfect time to offer some advertising compensation). Anyways, the point is to regularly create themes for new playlists. Anything goes.


THEME #1 - "Carry That Weight"

I recently read O'Brien's story "The Things They Carried" for a fiction class and got to thinking about what objects I carry or own that could be described in a way that would illuminate my individual character.



By what can I be defined? Well, by books most certainly. But what else? Think about it. You are the tea you drink, and the clothes you wear, and the items in your purse, and the junk on your bedside table. So here's the challenge. Make a playlist using songs that refer to objects that, taken together, make a silhouette of yourself. Go on now. Carry that weight.

ok i went through my whole playlist and just put anything and everything that could apply into a playlist. but now i have 70 songs in it ha ha. needless to say it needs to be weeded out. a lot of the songs i was like - yes, i carry sex and candy around and i would just laugh. so yeah. it's going to be a good one once it's been edited!
