Playing with Playlists
Posted: 19 Apr 2024, 20:42
So I spent a little boredom time this evening cleaning up the music on my phone. Mostly organizing, purging, and finishing playlists. I realized I had a few unique, or even weird lists, and thought I’d share my boredom with you.
AAA: The title keeps it at the head of the list. A sure-thing playlist list of proven favorites, currently about 21 hours worth. All genre, styles, and ages. Any song that really blows my skirt up is fair game and any song that fatigues gets the boot. Just hit random and let it run.
MURDER: A list of songs about killin’ folk. At a Tom Jones tribute concert one night I noticed that everyone clapped and cheered when he plunged the knife into Delilah. I joked with a friend that society really needed more songs about killing and suggested a playlist. Later, at a Johnny Cash tribute (with the same friend), it came back up after Cocaine Blues, and the list was born. I don’t really listen to it as a playlist, but I am committed to growing it. Just because.
CURVES: A collection of reverent songs about various forms of full-figured women. No bashing allowed. Rita and I were in the car one day when TV Mama (Bobby Rush) came on the blues channel on XM. I heard her giggle a couple of time and decided to download it on my phone. Later I played Freddie King’s Big Legged Woman for her and she giggled some more. Another playlist comes to life. This is my little way of appreciating all gals, and helping keep the patriarchy alive. I fully understand the risks.
GRUB: Songs about or emphasizing food. No inspired story, I just think it’s funny. Butterbeans by Little David Wilkins, Bob Corritore’s Big Mama’s Soul Food, Jambalaya from Hank Williams, etc.
What are your playlists? If you have any favorites that fit the bill above, please send them my way. All in good clean fun.
