Listed here for your enjoyment as demanded by Sharkey. I add songs here and there, it started as just 18 tracks. I've created a Hercules playlist on Finetune you can listen to, but it lists the songs alphabetically and doesn't retain my song order. So I've also provided my lineup after the widget.

well, here is the finetune playlist for 88/44 week. except for a few deviations.
- first, the minimum number of songs you can have on a finetune playlist is 45. that would be 44+1.
- second, I can't find Elvis Costello's cover of My Brave Face (which is what I was listening to when I picked it for the game) so I put up the Paul McCartney version, and threw in an Elvis tune for good measure (and since I needed a +1 anyway).
- third, can't find Norah Jones "Don't Know Why" in finetune, so I posted "Come Away With Me" instead.
- fourth, none of the Beatles songs can be added to a playlist, so I can't put Blackbird in. I'm guessing that has to do with some licensing issue.
sooooo, thanks to the Beatles I'm still down 1 song, even with the Elvis +1. So I threw in a couple tunes I almost used in the game last week. see if you can find them!
My first finetune playlist, but surely not the last. Over 150 100* songs. Enjoy.

1. finetune. This is so damn cool. Its internet radio, except you can create and share playlists with people. You are limited to three songs by any one artist on a playlist, and the minimum number of songs for a playlist is 45. But if you enter 20 songs and get bored, click the "I'm Lazy" button to have finetune select another 25 songs for you based on your music fingerprint (derived from what is already on your playlist). More coolness: I found finetune because of my Wii. When you go to the finetune website on your Wii, it detects the Opera browser on the Wii and gives you a Wii-specific UI with bigger buttons for targeting, etc, and of course you can listen to your playlist on the Wii, on your computer at work, anywhere you have an internet connection. Very slick. You can also embed your playlist into your blog or MySpace. As soon as I have bucketloads of free time I'm going to create a NTT playlist that includes all the songs I've used in NTT and embed it here on my Vox blog.
2. NanoMonsters. Sure, there are some design issues. For starters, my nano isn't exactly a perfect fit. And the clip on the side, that's not a good location. Clip it to something, and your iPod (and NanoMonster) hangs sideways. But despite that, it is so freaking funny I'm using it. I'd knit myself an iPod cozy out of yummy cashmere-merino yarn (see item 4 below) to keep the iPod from getting scratched in my purse, and I still like that one quite a bit, so I might switch between them. Thanks Laura for continuing to keep me kitted out in the latest in pirate gear.
The photo --> from the NanoMonsters website isn't the best; you can't see the actual shape of the Monster (it isn't rectangular black). I'll take a pic of my Nano in the Monster tomorrow and get it uploaded.
3. Sushi grade ahi tuna steaks for 9.99 a pound, and asaragus that isn't big thick stalks. It tastes so much better when the stalks are thinner. My hubby seared the tuna, put a dijon mustard and apricot preserves glaze on it and then coated it with some crushed herb croutons. Yummy, and very healthy for me given I'm on a 1200 calorie a day diet (it was that, or 5 hours a week of cardio, and I just don't have time for that! 2 hours cardio plus 2 hours weight training and 1-2 hours core strength exercises is all I can manage in a week).
4. Debbie Bliss yarn. Every time I knit with her yarn I swear I'll never knit with anything else again. Soft, beautiful, the cashmere-merino (baby, aran, and chunky weights) knits like a dream. For awhile I am yarn monogamous, but then I see some flashy thing in a yarn store and I stray... Forgive me Debbie. They mean nothing to me.
