How Easily We Are Flattered...

Someone actually asked at Trivia Night if I published playlists. Which made me blush, naturally. And as I'm typing this, someone else asked the same thing. Since some quirk of iTunes leads to only 5 out of 40 songs being available if I publish the list on the iTunes store thingie, I'm putting it up here and will try to do so every week if I'm feeling frisky.

Hope that helps. If there's a question about a particular song, post it in the comments and I'll try to elucidate. Which is like ElimiDate, only more helpful.
