Mo' Generic Discourse

Jan 12, 2005 19:22

Were I a more emotionally literate and/or conceptually creative person I might come up with an alternate system of iPod music categorization that more fully reflected the uses to which I put it (the music, that is):

Like colors:

Surgeon's brutal, blurry techno would be a dark red, for example, while the woody, organic drum 'n' bass of Roni Size a deep ochre. Fatboy Slim is lime green.

Or existential states:

The Handsome Family is the Cold, Clear Sight that Comes from Resignation with One's Mortality (CoCleSCROM); Poi Dog Pondering, on the other hand, is the Joyous Freedom that Comes from Resignation etc. etc. (JoFreCROM).

Or evocations of life events:

Enigma is the High School Heavy Petting. Queensryche, the Tentative Leftist Politicization. Blues Traveler is the First Bong Hit.

Any other ideas?
