Will there be T as well?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

At some point in the future, if the experiment continues, yes. I'd say, oh, about 19 experiments down the line.

I'm on IRC as well, by the way.

Thanks for the tip on Foobar2000, panoptican. I imported 29,373 tracks into Foobar, the vast majority of which I have probably never listened to (I'm an inveterate downloader). I picked the first playlist it generated, only modifying the order, not the included tracks.

We started with:
The Kinks - A Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy
Ennio Morricone - Astrzione Con Ritmo

Patricia Barber - Autumn Leaves
The Pogues - A Pair of Brown Eyes
Chevrolet Studio Band - An Exciting Thing (Driving a Car)
3 Mustaphas 3 - A Ova/Valle Epogradecit
Aaron Neville - Aaron Neville - I Owe You One (his name was in the title too because it was downloaded on a podcast).
Annie - Always Too Late

Stevie Wonder - Another Star
John Vanderslice - Amitriptyline
Superaquello - Amigos de Lejos
Rickie Lee Jones - A Face in the Crows

Likewise--I can't get enough of this semi-random stuff.

I'm not so thrilled with the set, but you know what I control freak I am with my radio sets and mixes. The problem is there's tons of stuff that I've downloaded from god knows where that I've never listened to.

You know, I've pulled up a couple of random sets myself tonight, and while I like the idea in principle it just hasn't quite worked as well as I'd hoped outside of a couple of segues I wouldn't have thought of on my own. (I say this without having heard your set, as I was at work at the time.)
