My Obsession

Confession: If I could figure out how to make a living doing it, I would spend my whole life making soundtracks, road trip playlists, and theme "mix tapes" for myself and anyone who wants one. I have very eclectic musical tastes, everything from pop to alternative country, classical to blues, gospel to classic rock, and I love mashing a few different genres (usually variations on rock, blues, and country) into approximately an hour of good tunes.

It's an addiction, and I have an online enabler: 8tracks.com.

It's a forum where you can upload playlists of eight or more tracks, then publish them for other people to enjoy. Not only is it something that I like putting out there for other people, it is also a great way to be introduced to other people's favorite bands and songs.

My most recent addition is called Rockabilly Wonderland. I'm pleased with how it turned out, and a few people have "liked" it or started following me as a result.


But like a junkie, I'm already seeking my next fix. A super 1970s summer song list? Songs to sing along with in the car? My favorite choral works? ...It's all so tempting!
