Consider Defragmenting

In my growth towards appreciation of my music beyond album boundaries I have glued together a number of unconnected songs in a fragmentally wild collection of old time radio classics, highlights from new albums, prereleases, rarities and other forms of favourites. Creating an iMix on iTunes won’t work (yet?), so here’s my way of sharing it.

The list contains 42 songs and it lasts 2,7 hours:

• Tired Pony: I Finally Love This Town (2010)
• The House of Love: Shine On (from: The House of Love, 1988)
• Warpaint: Ashes to Ashes (Single, 2010)

Rest of list:
