Self-reflection is, in some cases, horrific

Those of you who are astonishingly desperate for things to listen to will have noticed that my Pandora account has slowly accumulated different stations as I tinker around with the settings.

My most recent "station" came from an idea that I had: If I start loading in all the songs that I have quoted lyrics from in blog posts, perhaps I will get a glimpse at the sort of music that my subconscious mind enjoys, as that is the sort of thing that pops into my mind anyway.

The process of creating a station requires a song to begin with, so I went with the most recent song lyric that ended up as a post title: "The Streets of Where I'm From" by The Old 97's (US UK). I then added songs as I found them (useless trivia/potential insight: "No Rain" by Blind Melon is apparently the only song I've quoted twice!)

And what did I end up with?

A mixture of 50's era pop Christmas music and speed metal.

I'm still tinkering with it.
