bleh. i'm behind in blogging again. not only that, but this blog entry is only happening b/c i'm avoiding working on my taxes -- the lesser of two evils.

oh, my dear friends, no no, the blog is not evil. but updating playlists is a bit of pressure. but i'm committed to doing it. so here we go. below are playlists for 2 'Coffeetime's and one 'In the Margin of the Other,' in chronological order, most recent first (that being last wednesday's 'Margin').

new rules for how i'll list the Coffeetime playlists: to make this less of of a typing burden, i'll no longer list 'comp' when the song comes from a compilation. i'll just list the song. when one title is listed, that will be the song title and you'll know i got it off a comp of some sort. when two titles are listed, the first will be the album title (and that would mean i used either an orig or a reissue) and the second will be the song.

also, i'll no longer list whether the song was played off of an lp or cd -- that's so nerd anyway. you can pretend my collection comprises *all* original lps or only reissues and comps, whichever you want! (truth is that it's a mix.) and, lastly, i'll only list 'voc:' when the vocalist is not already listed as the artist. bleh.

the playlist for 'Margin' will not list as many discographical details as the Coffeetime playlist. all are female vocals (save for bed and one mistake which shall go unnamed...)
