Now that that is out of the way I have a couple of names for the project that I want to ask all of your opinions on.

1. "Guiness Is Irish For Awesome." I found it a funny and true phrase, and Giles suggested that I used it as a name. I was wary how well it might go over seeing as how random it is, but I figured I would pass it by all of you anyways.

2. "Pansonicon" I heard the word 'Panopticon' in a Joanna Newsom song and wondered what it was. So I looked it up and basically it is a circular prison design where someone on guard duty can sit in a tower in the center and is able to see every prisoner's cell simultaneously. It just hit me that a 'sound' version of this word would work well because we can, in a sense, hear everyone else's "cell". Ok it might be a bit contrived, but I liked it.

If you don't like either that is cool too, I will just go back to the drawing board.

Everything that has been picked so far for the CD has fit the theme very well, and a lot of it is new to me, and very enjoyable. I am especially enjoying the band "Bellafea". (thanks Lila.) Yet, while every track fits well, altogether the album is an entirely different beast. I think you will understand when you hear it.

When you all look at the page with the list that has everything that has been picked so far, keep in mind that I downloaded some music editing software, and this CD is going to have a Hidden track! I won't say what it is so it will remain a surprise, but it's pure genius. Such genius in fact that I couldn't even begin to try and place it normally within the playlist. So, it had to be a hidden bonus. It was picked by Tom's 11 year old brother, and I think you will love it.

I must say I have been having entirely too much fun playing "DJ". I have come up with many themes, and the next 4 themes are all related in a storytelling way. The first theme will involve an action and the 3 subsequent themes will happen in chronological order as a kind of telling of what happens next.

Can you tell I have put way to much thought into this?

Well, since I have been enjoying this so much, I temporarily entertained the idea of making these bi-weekly, but then thought the cost of CDs and shipping would get high, and you all would be bombarded with entirely too many CDs. So I dismissed that idea, except for this first time.

I don't want to have to wait a month and a half (august 1st) to announce the next theme because I am overly excited about what I have planned. So, on July 1st I will start making this batch of CDs like originally planned, but I will also announce the next theme.

I really need a life....
