As a nice distraction from finals studying, I've begun compiling a
database, in Excel, of all the songs I have. So far, I've found out that
the average song released by a band whose name begins with A-J is 3 minutes
and 53 seconds long. If I come across anything more exciting (though I'm
not quite sure I could top that little tidbit), I'll be sure to inform
you. Next project after this: which musicians appear most often on the
CD's I own. Townshend is far ahead, but I've long wanted to know which
keyboardist has been with the most bands: Nicky Hopkins, Chris Stainton,
Chuck Leavell, or Paul Shaffer. (Shaffer, by the way, manages a cameo in
an unbelievable amount of records).
--LP.
P.S. Yes, I am insane. Clinically.
