Experi-mental

I am fascinated by people’s listening habits, and how (if at all) their music taste reflects their personality and other interests. This little obsession (and my other for making lists) hasn’t been helped by websites such as Last.fm and I can spend hours browsing people’s ‘recently listened’ playlists. I have decided to act on my fascination and have bought 50 blank CDs and 50 plastic wallets with the intention of handing them out to people, asking them to make a CD of at least 12 tracks that represents their music taste. So far I haven’t been particularly proactive in actually getting people to take part and so I currently have only 2 mix CDs. I will hopefully be able to publish my findings (whatever they are) when I get a few more.

I received a mix from my housemate at university and it was very interesting listening, covering a mishmash of genres, from chart dance/R’n’B to German industrial metal, it certainly is a mixed bag! If you want to get involved me, get in contact and I will be delighted to send you a CD, alternatively you could just make a mix cd yourself and send it to me.
