"Turn the Beef to Brown, Love to Seer My Obsession"

Saturday, February 25, 2023

I may be a little vexed with YouTube Music (YTM) lack of playlist sort, something that has been with Spotify for a decade. I'm guessing they have a greater focus on albums over user playlists. At any rate, I was amused by this Reddit comment:

Kinda hilarious that a product team within a company owned by an entity called Alphabet Inc. doesn't have an alphabetical option.

Well said.

That said, while YTM just doesn't have a robust user community (likely because of the above) and instead relies on YouTube playlists instead of songs off of albums, it is possible to create one! I'm pulling together a massive country music playlist of stuff primarily from the 90s, what my radio used to play. And frankly, I forget how much of my brain space has been reserved to sing-a-long to all of those songs. Can't I free that up for something valuable?

  1. I'm running out of reasons to run...
  2. ...She's got her daddy's money, her momma's good looks...
  3. ...I'd be better off in a pinebox on a slow train back to Georgia...
  4. ...I like, I love it, I want some more of it...
  5. ...Jesus and Mama always loved me, even when the Devil took control...
  6. ...on a winding road her memory flows. She'll face the fact, she wants to go back. She opens her heart to an old memory; she closes her eyes and she smiles. Just ask her if she ever still thinks about me...
  7. ...and how did we end up where we are, somewhere in the vicinity of the heart, I feel something hit me awful hard...
  8. ...Feed Jake, he's been a good dog, my best friend right through it all. If I die before I wake, feed Jake...
  9. ...Let's all go down to Dumas Walker, we'll get us all burger fries and a bottle of skeet (? I never said I could accurately remember them)...
  10. ...She couldn't keep from crying when she told me goodbye. I knew, lord, it was breaking her heart, 'cause she was breaking mine...
  11. ...That ain't my truck in her drive, man, this ain't my day tonight. Looks like she's in love and I'm out of luck.
