(Deleted for the sake of my sanity. But it was nice while it lasted.)

I decided I needed some new playlists on my iPod, so I decided to make playlists that each had music that made me think of a certain color or combination of colors. It was fun, now I have a black and white playlist, a red playlist for when I’m angry, a blue and orange playlist for funny, usually older music… the lists go on. Pretty much every song I listen to makes me think of a color, so it was easy.

It’s full of songs that make me extremely happy when they come up on shuffle.

I named it “Oh!” (As in, “Oh! I love this song!”)
