calling it a habit's just a nice way of calling it a rut.
i'll admit it. i'm in a bit of a rut musically. not playing or creating it (GEEZ! didn't you read my last post?!?!), but in picking new, exciting stuff to listen to. i need help. so i'm asking for it. 10 years ago i would've asked for mixed tapes. 4 years ago i would've asked for a mix disc...
today, i'm asking for a playlist. make me a playlist. give me your favorite playlist off your ipod or hp thing or whatever.
hell, let's just turn it into a contest. here's the rules:
1. give me a playlist (no limit on number of entries per person. go ahead and stuff the box.)
2. keep the playlists to 20 songs or less.
3. get it to me by august 19th.
i'll sort through and sample them all and then i'll announce the winner the week of aug 21 through email, on this blog and my myspace page (where i'm getting ready to duplicate this post).
the winner will receive a brand new, handmade (thank you billy mercer), soon to be officially released newton dominey t-shirt. it's happy and red.
you can post the playlist here in the comments section or, if you want to be super-secret, you can email them to me at info*at*newtondominey*dot*net. just put the appropriate symbols between the astericeses.
excited? i am.
ready...go!

You better believe I'll be playing along with this game. Woo-hoo!
Except first, I have a birthday to celebrate. This is the big 2-7...does that mean good things will come?
heck yes it does. when's your birthday?
if it's anywhere near saturday, you should head over to the basement to celebrate (on saturday). the high dials are playing. grimey played a little for me on tuesday. good stuff. and cheap to boot.
It's actually Sunday. But big celebrations are going on Saturday. You and the wife should join us (Julie, Jag, & others) for some dinner and drinks. Then maybe we could Basement it.
