"You know what, if they don't want me to write bad songs about them, they shouldn't do bad things." My beloved Taylor Swift, when asked if men are intimidated by the possibility of ending up in one of her songs. ...

It's certainly one way to be exposed to a wide variety of new artists, although poor Lacy promised to listen to every song that was submitted, so she was stuck in her office for days alternating between Christmas tunes and GWAR. It gave me an idea. I'm always looking for new songs to run to and/or work out to. Especially now that I'm training for a half-marathon, I'm spending a lot of time running and for some reason it's always hard to come up with good tracks for my jogs. And I have a new Rhapsody mp3 player, so I have to load a bunch of new music on it anyway. Sooooo ... I was hoping you guys could help me come up with a new playlist. An Evil Beet Work Out playlist.

Thanks!!! />So, my pal Lacy Kemp over at the RealNetworks blog called together her legions of loyal Twitter followers to do what she called a "Social Music Experiment."
