Would you share your music playlist?
On the morning commute into the office (yes, believe it or not, I'm venturing out of my loungewear and putting on proper shoes), the radio station announcer posed a question to the listeners. 'Would you share your playlist?' Her co-presenter immediately retorted with a stern 'No way.'
For a split second, my playlists flashed in my mind's eye. How personal is your playlist? What songs do you make an effort to compile? How would you feel if someone flicked through your vinyl record collection and gave you an arched eyebrow when Engelbert Humperdinck's Greatest Hits of 1976 was pulled from the pile?
Judgy, judgy judgy!
I name my playlists for 'da car' or when I'm walkin', and there is even a playlist I have on right now for when I'm writing. There are no lyrics, just a symphony orchestra, and when they reach their crescendo, I find myself typing even faster and makde lots of miskateks.
Googling 'What does a music playlist say about you? (I love instant information) and plenty of psychology today-type personality-type sites jumped to the top of the page (kudos for their SEO). The common denominator of these posts is that regardless of 'taste', the playlist does say a lot about you. Are you moody and mysterious or poppy and fun? Can you be both in the morning and then the opposite at night, and could you attribute a playlist just for that?
If I weren't driving and weren't lazy to dial the number and wait for my voice to be transmitted around the country, I would have said that my playlists would have me dancing a jig like Elaine, and I wouldn't care who's watching!
