Playlists!
Posting this for tygenco_x primarily, but I'm definitely interested in hearing what everyone else listens to, as well.
So here's a fun task; leave a playlist from your music collection in the comments, so you can see about getting me hooked on some of your favourite music.
I only rarely change my playlist, and generally only have one at a time, so it's going to be long. It's also going to be probably ~1/31/2 anime music, ~1/3 not anime but still not in English and the rest will be just songs that have significance of some sort to me.
My current standard playlist is under the cut, 'cause it's roughly a hundred songs long...
