I don’t get a lot of time to just sit and listen to music.  I live with my sister who has a penchant for spending inordinate amounts of time in front of the television.  And I spend about 10-12 hours a day at the office.  I don’t have a lot of quiet time.

But today Lisa is out of town.  And I’ve got a quiet house all to myself.  So for 3.7 hours I sat and listened to tunes.  Some I’d heard before, some I hadn’t.  I threw together this bizarro playlist one track at a time, and refused to skip any of them.  It was perfect for the work I was doing, just pulling data for a future blog post.  Here it is, in all its Spotified glory.
