I’m loving Spotify at the moment. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a music streaming application which allows you to listen to music for free on your PC. I’m loving it because it allows me to listen to all kinds of music from lots of genres (which I can match to my ever fluctuating moods!) and find all sorts of weird and wonderful blasts from the past without having to actually own the CDs. (An additional bonus is the comedy tracks that it keeps recommending for James based on the playlists he’s been creating…) In a similar vein to all the things Facebook, where you to write 20 random things about yourself, or describe your life in 30 books you’ve read – all of which I sadly admit I love – I’ve decided to create a playlist called ‘My Story in Songs’ on which I’m putting songs which remind me of specific memories, people or times in my life, both good and not so good (both the memories and the music!) I’m loving it – obviously, it’s a list based exercise!! Music is such a key part of my life, and the emotions it stirs in me are so powerful and varied, it is proving a really enjoyable and cathartic experience. It has also involved much laughter and reminded me of so many important times in my life. It’s going to take a while to complete, but there’s no rush. One of my more valuable wacky list-based ideas, I think!
