Building a backlog

I want to have a backlog of blog posts published so people have something to read if they find this site. Three posts in one day is like craziness. But who cares.
I shall now ramble for a bit about music. Back when I was in earlier stages of my professional studentship, and was considerably less personally developed, music was the failsafe for when things went to hell. I always had a collection of comfort music I'd play if I felt hopeless, insecure, or downright suicidal, which happened from time to time to time. This collection has evolved over time but still exists. Oddly, it's sort of morphed into the music I play while I study. (I don't know what this says about the relationship between my schoolwork and my emotions.) This music is what I sometimes play on loop endlessly, obsessively. It's still the supreme mental comfort food.
A sample playlist might look like this:
Artist - Album (s)
Mugar - Penn ar Bled, Kabily-Touseg
Bela Fleck - Left of Cool
Tom Waits - Orphans
Luar na Lubre - Plenilunio
Shakira - Servicio de Lavanderia
Greg Edmonson - Firefly soundtrack
Cinematic Orchestra - Man with a Movie Camera
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
The Pogues - If I Should Fall from Grace
Tori Amos - Under the Pink

So, yeah. That's another piece of my life.
