I am getting old. I am mostly listening to music which was released at least 10 years ago. Not visiting rockconcerts anymore.
but… once in a while, I “discover” a newly released album which really makes me think “WOW!!!” the first time I listen to it.
It kicks ass!
I love the new “genius” feature of iTunes 8. On my to do list is an genius playlist xml->rss export thingie for gargleblaster. But hey… there are more things on my todo-list :)
But this morning I hit the genius button for “The Mercy Seat” of Nick Cave&the Bad Seeds. And considering my iTunes playlist has around 12.5k songs in it…sometimes the music I hear is very surprising.
Like this morning: X Offender by Blondie!
Hell. I didn’t even know I had that album…but I absolutely loved the song.
But now I am wondering what the connection is with The mercy seat :p
Below is the complete playlist…groovy baby :)
