The fates and my Zune

March 23, 2008

Yes, Zune. Yes, I am less anti-social than you. No, I am not more practical than you.

In a somewhat frightening move, I put my Zune on shuffle while I watched Davidson upset Georgetown in the NCAA tournament play. Like that surprise rotten Easter egg you’ll uncover in a couple weeks, this allowed me to discover some tracks that I used to think were great but stink now. The cool thing about this analogy is that it can also be expressed this way:

rotten Easter eggs : today’s tracks :: Kansas University : 2008 Men’s Basketball National Champs

That is because they are the same. Or rather, will be.

Anyway, this whole music experience was fairly upsetting, so I naturally responded by forming what is probably the most sustainable playlist ever. These are like plastic Easter eggs. Or maybe like oysters with their regenerating pearls or something. Oh. Like argyle sweaters obviously. This site is tedious already.

I promise I will still listen to this playlist in 10 years if I am not dead.
