trial one, day one

palmer is brilliant. actually, i'm not sure if it was his idea, but i'm just going to pretend it was. he gave me this idea, so i made a cd last night, from a playlist on my itunes,
with this intention/goal:
you can only listen to one cd for the rest of your life. it has to be 80 minutes long. make this cd.

this is my cd, trial one:
1/ the beatles, eleanor rigby
2/ brand new, the quiet things that no one ever knows
3/ brand new, jesus christ
4/ brand new, soco amaretto lime
5/ death cab for cutie, marching bands of manhattan
6/ death cab for cutie, brothers on a hotel bed
7/ death cab for cutie, transatlanticism
8/ imogen heap, hide and seek
9/ jack johnson, do you remember
10/ jump, little children, close your eyes
11/ manchester orchestra, where have you been
12/ the postal service, the district sleeps alone tonight
13/ secret lives, make like a door and shut up
14/ secret lives, a song of hope
15/ secret lives, how to beat a dead horse
16/ the spill canvas, the tide
17/ sufjan stevens, concerning the ufo sighting near highland, illinois
18/ sufjan stevens, john wayne gacy, jr.

i'm kindof impressed with how well it turned out. i can actually stand listening to it over and over. but what i'm planning on doing, is listening to only this cd, until i realize what songs i need to add/remove. this is trial one. i'm predicting at least 3 or 4 more trials until i get it "perfect". i'll keep everyone updated on how things are going. but i've already realized that i can live without the spill canvas. i keep skipping that song. also, i foresee having to have a bigger variety of genres, because this cd has a great sound, but i don't think i could live with it forever. i need variety.
