I was cleaning out my closet today and as I peeked in various boxes along the way, I noticed one common factor: mix CD's (and even some mixtapes) scattered throughout all of them.

I realized that for the past five or six years I've made at least one mix CD a week. Just scrolling back through dozens of itunes playlists in the last year, I watched as new songs were added and carried over to the next week, while other songs faded away - only to come back months later. Kinda like my own billboard chart system.

It's weird, though. I have an iPod and an mp3 player, but I'm always listening to CD's in the car and random places. I guess I never broke the habit.

So, I think each week I'm gonna post my most recent itunes playlist - with the occasional commentary. Fair warning: I listen to a lot of elektro and synth-pop, so if that's not your thing, I understand.



Not that you saw last week's playlist, but there's some new stuff. I added some DM and New Order remixes to the list, and the first single "Out of Control" from the new She Wants Revenge new album (out today).

And, after my "How To Survive The Robot Uprising" book review last week, I thought it'd be funny to end the mix with Andrew Thompson's anti-robot anthem, "We're in Business" [download the mp3 here]. I love the song, but it definitely has a one playlist shelf life.
