I got an idea over the summer than I'm finally getting around to developing. I love the idea of obtuse and outside of the box music programming, and programming on a non-obvious theme. I tend to collect oddball ideas like this and never get a chance to really explore them. Today, I end that procrastination.
Let's take an idea. Bands named after something, like people not in the band, or food, or colours. Then program a playlist based on that idea. Not on good music, or if the music necessarily fits together, but on that theme regardless of what the music is. Then we'd get this idea.
I'll be trying to put up a playlist a month, starting with this one. The playlists will be at least 12 songs long. I'll also be trying to focus on obscure bands (especially Canadian ones) and not well known songs from more established artists. October's theme is places in Europe. And I already have more than enough music to make another playlist on the same theme. Enjoy!
