--> I simply can't believe how many times I've sa t down to compile a track list for a show, album, or even a myspace player and come up with the problem of wanting two or more songs to be together and they start with the same letter.
As in I would love to start a set will Brightr Light and go onto Bollion and then play Berr...only I'm not playing an all 'B' set tonight!
I just sat down to run through all my works in progress in order to come up with a working track llist for a CD that should be released this year and the first four songs I select all end in 'en' or 'on' ...what's up with that? Why wont the alphabet stop getting in my way?
Surely I can't be alone in this battle but it seems to be a topic no one talks about. Quite possibly because it's not a very note-worthy subject. But still, I wonder if the alphabet mixed with some chaos theory hasn't bothered anyone else at some point.

Ooops, me stupid today.

Palindromes.

Yes, palindrones would be a good name for a michael palin comedy album.

palindrones would totally be awesome... better use it before I steal it.

"Body by Auschwitz" is both magnificent and terrible.

i've noticed that i keep gravitating towards the same letters to being track titles. particularly i, m, s, and y. i've never understood why.

"Body by Auschwitz" reminds me of the old fake mariah carey quote

"I'd love to be as skinny as all those kids from Ethiopia, but without all the flies and death and stuff".

Thank god for snopes. I never knew that wasn't reals.

Max tundra renamed all the tracks on his "mastered by guy at the exchange" album so they were all 6 letters long, so he could make the artwork, er, work. (EG, lysine, labial, mbgate)

Anal Cunt rules by the way. Any Sloth, Grief, or Upsidedown Cross fans out there? But to clarify-I don't have a problem coming up with track names, it's not about that.
