I listened to my 8-hour playlist and recommend this indulgence for solo car rides. I made a few blunders and triumphs that I’ll post in list format.
- I guess I never heard the original ‘Cocaine Blues’ by Johnny Cash. In my opinion, the live version from the Flosom Prison album is much better.
- Somehow, I picked an instrumental of ‘Ohio’ by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. One should listen to the version with lyrics on this one.
- I picked a different version of Biggie’s Party and Bull Shit. That was a disappointment.
- I picked ‘Our House’ by Crosby, Stills, and Nash when I meant to pick ‘Our House’ by Madness. Two completely different songs. I love Crosby, Stills, and Nash, but hate their song ‘Our House.’
- I selected the censored version of Next Episode by Dr Dre. It was funny to hear every other word bleeped out, but one should listen to the original.
- I chose a grunge cover of “The Sound of Silence when I wanted to listen to Paul Simon and the other guy’s version.
- In a moving vehicle, you don’t want to fuss with changing songs, so checking that you have the version you want is worth a few extra seconds to select. So I deleted the songs mentioned above, but made myself listen to them.
- I’ve included way more hip-hop on this playlist than usual, so if you take a listen, beware that there are plenty of profane ones, but it’s still suitable for driving.
- When my playlist ended, Spotify kept it going.
- This blog entry is my first post from my iPhone, and I can’t figure out how to stop the list feature, so this is The End. (How did I forget to put The Doors on this playlist!!!!!????)
