A Quick One While I'm Here

As I was on the bus, feeling very...uncharitable towards my fellow man, I took solace, as I always do, in my beloved iPod. And to combat the feelings of misanthropy toward the cretins, um, people, I decided to give back to you, dear reader, in the following way.

You make the playlist. That's right, you title a list - themed, of course (we're literary here!) - and I'll create it from my library.

It could be - "10 Great Guitar Rave-Ups from the 1980s", "12 Songs the Beatles Couldn't Do on Their Best Day" or "15 Terrible Songs from Otherwise Great Albums".

Tell your friends. List early and list often.

Have fun!!
