The World’s Greatest and No Longer Pint-sized Ventriloquist would like you to know what she’s listening to:

Maybe someday Petunia will try some of these.

From Game Changer Indonesia comes this nominally 47-minute mix:

It should keep you moving for, oh, at least half an hour, before things grind suddenly to a halt.

At least, not a minor one:

Songs I’m loving right now 🎶https://t.co/K62TYfJht6

What would have been funny, I guess, would be picking a couple dozen of her own tracks. She didn’t do that, though I thought it was hilarious to start the playlist with a song with the same title as one of hers. Let’s face it: if I’m going to be trolled by a gorgeous woman who’s probably a whole lot smarter than I am, first choice has got to be Taylor Swift.

Last time I wandered over to YouTube, I found a playlist labeled as “My Mix.” Surely not my mix?

Of the 50-odd tracks, I’d actually played about two-thirds before. The others — well, I assume they thought I’d be interested, based on other videos viewed. Interestingly, four were by Sly and the Family Stone.

This was the eleventh track proffered, a Robyn Adele Anderson cover of a System of a Down tune:

I’ll have to watch this list in case anything else weird shows up.

Spotify has been compiling a list of the Top 100 Most Streamed Songs of All Time, and updating it on a monthly basis. Here’s the August 2017 list, which will take about 20 minutes of your life:

Even the least popular of these has been streamed over 400 million times.

“Songs for the invisible girl” is a YouTube playlist of 12 songs. (Well, some have been pulled for Stateside consumption.) It begins, almost inevitably, with the Zombies’ immortal “She’s Not There.”

Inevitably, there is a Hamilton “mixtape” already being hawked at the iTunes Store, though formal release will not be until Friday, December 2. A few tracks are already being sold. $14.99 for the whole thing.

Now this seems ingenious. Rebecca Black (yes, that Rebecca Black) has regularly released her Spotify playlists to her not-inconsiderable fanbase; this week, she’s actually put together a video in which she features some of her faves.

The complete playlist, if you’re a Spotify user, is here.

This exercise sounds familiar:

Lots of songs have numbers in their titles: from “5-4-3-2-1” to “99 Luftballons.” But what makes a great “number song”? Music journalist and self-appointed rock numerologist David Klein has spent years researching this very question for his new book If 6 was 9.

It’s a perfectly reasonable list. You may, or may not, want to compare it to the two compilations I’ve already done.

The Lost Ogle, an obscure local social blog in Oklahoma City with approximately 376,000 times as many readers as this place, has put up some ideas for The Ultimate Neil Diamond Mixtape. We of course approve, because (1) we’re Neil Diamond fans of long standing and (2) they didn’t mention “Sweet Caroline.”

That said, we put up a Diamond mix of our own about eight years ago, and we even put “Sweet Caroline” on it, for reasons perhaps best left buried.
