music played while i sit in my office is selected at random. or as close to random as apple's flawed algorightm allows.
there are a number of reasons for my preference of computer generated playlists while i stare at one of the three screens sitting on my desk. mostly, there are other times when i must make such choices on my own. the car for one, but also at the gym. moments when my living room is filled with guests, or my bed is more than soley occupied, not to mention the importance of supplementing a vacation with the correct soundtrack. to mix genres or to segment the time into sound-driven screenplays? will they understand what they hear? is that important? to me, yes, but more generally? should generalities play a role in this?
i need iTunes in the office. currently selected --> 30 seconds to mars - a beautiful lie - the kill (3:51). i consider jared leto to be in the top ten, when considering artists worth giving my time to. this music isn't perfect, but it has become a part of the collection that i hesitate to share with others. i listen to 30 seconds alone. jared's also in fight club, requiem, american psycho...he's paul fucking allen, for christ's sake. beatuiful, and willing to front this niche band nonetheless. witness the action-based balance that i haven't reached yet. having it, risking it, reaping the benefits of being vulnerable. this is why it's important to be beautiful. it's why these steps become options. otherwise, for most people, they're stuck looking, searching, disappointed. soon, i'll be able to jump because i know that i never have to land. this is a good realization to come to on a friday, n'est ce pas?
