Actually, it's funny I came across this, because I had done this earlier in the year. So I went back to my archives, and I did this in FEBRUARY. Here's the link: music meme.

I wonder if Dawkins would mind meme becoming the word for chain mail :)

Lovely numbers in there. Especially the Green Day one. It’s really great, just as the whole “American Idiot” album is. There’s lovely songs in there.

Dude, I never thought you as a greenday kind of person.

Poor me, no one will ever invite me. I’m too smal and insignificant in the web design world. Lol…

Impressive.. I saw this earlier today on another site, totally unreleated to anyone mentioned here. (As far as I know.) Big meme.

Wow this thing seems to have gone very far out. I don’t have too many songs on computer either.

Hey, Doug… if you’re interested in what a new dad and his daughter listen to, I’ve found that for the most part, the Guns ‘n’ Roses best hits collection has some great music for newborns… the whistling parts in “Patience” have put my daughter to sleep more than a few times in her first four months. :)

Ditto for the new Moby… hell, it puts me to sleep too! (Actually, I quite like it, despite what the hyperbolic NYT review said…)

Otherwise, I’ve been heavily listening to Radio ABF (that’s http://www.radioabf.net), which is a streaming electronica station from France. They seem to have a great playlist any time you tune in…

@Random Guy: I tracked the meme back to a Livejournal account a couple of days ago – it seems to have propagated to the design community via Stuart Langridge…

Isn’t the cool term for chain mail now “meme”?

Your taste in music is strong, young Douglas-son. While I admit that you turned me on to Elliot Smith, I hope I had something to do with your liking of The Eels and Django Reinhardt.

I will pass on the baton, even though it pains me to send out an email that won’t pass most spam filters. My only comfort is that it doesn’t include dancing animated animals, nor does it implore the recepient to send out to everyone who needs a hug.

Until the baton is finely crafted at the Random Banter workshop, I encourage you to check out Bloc Party and Robbers on High Street.

I agree, 99% of chain mail is just awful. But something like this is slightly different, does anyone know where it originated?

How about some tunes by “The Killers” mate! :)
I hate chain mail too, but some of it I must admit can be pretty interesting! lol.
