All music, alphabetically

tahnanListening to my music alphabetically by title has been interestingly refreshing. It's a chance to hear everything, including the things I usually skip, with no repeats (except for, you know, three different versions of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire"). And I learn all kinds of fun things, like the fact that I have five songs whose titles start with "The Ballad Of...."
Sometimes it's annoying; "Camelot (Reprise)" right after "Camelot" doesn't realy work. But sometimes you get these moments of real amusement. Like today, when "Crucifixion" from Jesus Christ Superstar was immediately followed by "Crucify" by Tori Amos, which is a great juxtaposition. And the transition from the C's into the D's was particularly bumpy, in a funny way, going from Loreena McKennitt's "Cymbeline", a slow and mournful song from Shakespeare, immediately into "Dammit, Janet".
More importantly, the grading is done. Next up: understand de dicto and de re. Again.
