Starting things off with a nice Latin phrase always seems right. And how great is the internet that I can simply type "latin quote" into Google, and get a list of everything from legal jargon to "beam me up, Scotty!" in the ancient father-tongue.
Not only does my quote sound pregnant with importance, it is also coincidentally relevant to the content of this blog. "A liar needs a good memory," I couldn't have said it better myself, Quintilianus. Although I wouldn't call myself a liar, and my memory has proved itself to be capable according to american educational standards, my iTunes library is huge. So huge, in fact, that I usually end up listening to whatever random artist is on my mind, or one whose name starts with "A."
So for my own sensibilities, I have decided to make monthly playlists so that I can enjoy my music and customize my listening according to the weather, my mood (the two of which are inextricably linked.. stupid Washington), and any other cultural influences that may crop up.
I make no claim in regards to a genre of choice, I exercise my right to love both Joni Mitchell and Jack White, Britney and the Black Keys. I am an appreciator of music, and this is about me, what I am interested in and inspired by at a certain point in time. Sometimes ridiculous music just makes me happy, and I will apologize to no one for it! Having said that, rest assured that I have excellent taste and I'm convinced that the music industry will give a collective sigh when they find out about me and see some of my choices.
Welcome to my year of playlists.
