The Extremely Satisfying Playlist, Part 2: “Waiting”

OK, first off… What the fuck man… I’ve been at war deep in the Creative Suite trenches so if reading a ‘Bill McMullen Blog’ is important to you, I apologize. I sorta hate blogs that talk about why the writer has been so silent, so I guess I can’t win with this direction. I apologize again. Let’s move on… it’s me, not you.

A while ago, I put up a post about how I did an iTunes search for ‘Police’ and I wound up with a great playlist. It sparked some interest and the comments were populated with great suggestions for more songs. Really cool. Well, last night, while working… OK, actually it was about 30 minutes ago, I’m still working. Anyway, I was listening to some crazy Hawkwind jam and the note progression reminded me of ‘Waiting for The Man’ by the Velvet Underground, and it put in my head that I wanted to hear it. So, I typed ‘waiting’ and wound up with this:

Awesome. Apologies to Sage Francis, but a 25-minute backpacker’s cipher is not on the agenda for the ‘09. I might skip that Gwen Stefani track too, which simultaneously bites Nina Hagen and Weezer’s ‘Hashpipe’. I guess I could have blurred that out.
