Title: What's the theme of this playlist?
Post by: dave from knoxville on May 27, 2009, 11:44:20 AM
U2 - A Man and a Woman
The Kleptones - Are You a Visionary
Three Dog Night - One
Drive By Truckers - A Ghost to Most
The Bats - Man in the Moon
The Hooters - And We Danced
Bessie Smith - A Good Man Is Hard To Find
Dengue Fever - Woman in the Shoes
The Besnard Lakes - And You Lied To Me
Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall
Julie Fowlis - Blackbird
The Chocolate Watchband - Are You Gonna Be There
King Crimson - One More Red Nightmare

I limited myself to songs I currently have on my hard drive, else I might have substituted one or two of these.












Here's a hint: 5 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Please assure me it has nothing to do with an exploding penis.

I think the theme of the playlist is "DFK is batshit bonkers."

That's very creative, dfk. However, I'm afraid I'm just too stupid to understand it.

Hm. I should have been able to get a little closer to understanding that than I was. My wife has just spent 3 years writing a PhD thesis on Wallace Stevens. You'd think some of it would have rubbed off on me!

Did anybody appreciate that there were 13 songs?
