Playlist: 2011.11.01: Happy V16 Day

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: November 2, 2011

November 1, 2011 marked V6′s 16th anniversary. With no new pre-orders announced, that means it’s time for a playlist! Of note: The weird punctuation and English are not mine. The song titles are listed as presented on the original CDs. And yes, the original listings on the CDs do include fun designations like the “FUNKY!! [...]

Playlist: 2011.10.22: The Mom’s Birthday

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: October 26, 2011

A thin connection between the music and the playlist title: My mom’s birthday was on Saturday, and this playlist was the soundtrack to my errands during the day. Strangely enough, she’d actually recognize most of these songs, so that’s something… ♪

Because their latest single is currently flying over the Pacific Ocean toward me, here’s my current “V6 Top 10,” determined by number of plays. ***

Playlist: 2011.04.09: Randomosity No. 1

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: August 16, 2011

You know how most people do spring cleaning? Well, I seem to be doing some summer cleaning for things like my “draft” folders. That’s where I uncovered this gem that truly showcases just how random my music collection is. ♪ ***

Playlist: 2011.03.05 – Ooh Wee

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: April 18, 2011

Taking a break from Foo Fighters and the ongoing boy bandemonium that resides on my iPod for more of a hip-hop/rap playlist than usual. ♫

Playlist: 2011.02.28 – Life goes on

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: March 7, 2011

For the last month, because of work, I’ve had the Antique Bakery anime series on my mind. Also, I’m anxiously waiting for my copy of CHEMISTRY’s greatest hits album to arrive. (I’m just impatient. It only came out last week in Japan.) All of this combined means it was time for an iPod shuffle based [...]

Playlist: 2010.12.24 – Christmas 2010

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: January 1, 2011

Before I turn the page, content-wise, to 2011, here is my Christmas 2010 playlist. I own three “official” Christmas CDs — the Chipmunks’ Christmas album, Elvis’ Blue Christmas, and the soundtrack to the Charlie Brown Christmas special — so you’ll see a lot of them, in addition to random holiday songs and songs that historically [...]

Playlist: 2010.11.04 – Growing Old Is Getting Old

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: November 9, 2010

What can I say? I felt like hearing some guitars, hence the multiple tracks by Silversun Pickups, Muse, Weezer, and Radiohead. ♫

Playlist: 2010.10.22 – And Your Bird Can Sing

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: October 27, 2010

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these! This time around, the shuffler displayed a major bias for Matthew Sweet, with or without Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles. I really liked their first Under the Covers compilation. I need to check out the second one that was released earlier this year… ♪

Playlist: 2010.06.26 – Time Is Running Out

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: June 26, 2010

The month of June is a wash for anything except work, and it’s really crunch-time right now with Anime Expo next week. The nice part is that, soon, I’ll be able to actually talk about some of the stuff I’ve been working on for the last several months. Yay! ♫ Time Is Running Out “Time [...]
