(hm. looking at this now, i realize that the list is partially alphabetical by artist. but strangely, and weird that there isn't any repetition of artists.) it's a good portrait of my (non-album-based) musical milieu as of spring 2001 (which is about when i stopped getting mp3s.)

there was a time when i could make you laugh at will
and i can do it still
