Microsoft did one thing right with MediaPlayer, and that's song selection. Years ago, I used their filters, not ones I created, and took a batch of songs that I preferred to listen to at night frequently and took the best and put them on compact disc.
I call this disc "Night Music." Not coincidentally, "Night Music" is the name of a Joe Jackson disc. Go figure.
Some great moody music on this disc--Steely Dan, The Pogues, Sarah McLachlan, Concrete Blonde, Fiona Apple, Living Colour (covering an Al Greene song much less)--just to name a few.
Now, I lamented a few years ago that music just wasn't doing it for me anymore. "Rhapsody makes me blue" was one of my wittier laments.
Tonight, this is a great disc.
