THE_MUSIC_OF_ALWAYS


                                             June 3, 2018

Back in 2010 or so, I had the idea
that I might start beginning the      I'd been raised on the idea that
day at work listening to the *same*   you should avoid "wearing out"
set of music every day.               music by overplaying it the way
                                      commercial radio formats do.

                                            But I occasionally experiment
                                            with breaking that rule...

Here's the playlist of the
music I intended to listen to     (I kept it up for a few years, often
every day forever and always      running it through shuffle play-- it's
for the rest of my life:          too long to listen straight through.)
