english-major exegetical superpowers

I can't believe how much time I've spent today thinking of road-trip songs. Obviously this was more interesting to me than the material I need to be working on. I wonder if I can go to grad school in mix-tapeology. I know the answer to this: I'm in a department that studies TV, movies, and Internet crap. I would just need to go take a methods class in Anthropology and start an ethnography of mix-tape makers. I'd call it "Burning Passions: reception, reappropriation, and personal mix CDs."

Dude...you weren't kidding.

I just looked at her new and improved song list. Your name is everywhere...impressive.

The fact is, Vol. 2 is actually something I'd want to listen to. Many people don't understand the differences in road trip music vs. living room music. You seem to have that distinction pegged (and in a manner that goes beyond just finding lots of songs about cars and roads).

Mixtapeology is a degree I looked for some years back. Unfortunately, the Academy in this country is waaaay behind my thinking (on most things, really...no really).

I had a Great Idea cooking during part of last year for a business venture that would rely primarily on music mixes (a la the Lounge series put out by Rhino a few years back, but much cooler). I'll tell you about it sometime...maybe we could do some business....

Am I the only person that finds the thought of a team of five or six people tackling Yes' Heart of the Sunrise as karaoke a little alarming?
