Podflow

This is what my mp3-player threw up in shuffle-mode on my trip to work this morning:

Maurice - This is acid (from VA Can You Jack)
Talking Heads - Born under punches (the heat goes on) (from Remain in Light)
Chrome - Zero time (from Half Machine Lip Moves/Alien Soundtracks)
Talking Heads - Seen and not seen (from Remain in Light)
Chrome - Pygmies in zee dark (from Half Machine Lip Moves/Alien Soundtracks)
Moussa Dombia - Keleya (from VA World Psychedelic Classics 3: The Psychedelic Sounds Of West Africa)
Miles Davis & John Scofield - Perfect way (from Tutu)
Vertical Slit - Circles and squares (from Twisted Steel and the Tits of Angels)


It was a wonderful few minutes on a wonderful, still, foggy morning; a fantastic mix and a series of moments of incredulous serendipity of increasing intensity. To be quite honest, I couldn't have done better myself.

So I began wondering if there was a term in common usage which covered this kind of thing. A quick google/wiki/urbandict and I couldn't find anything.

So ladies and germs, I give you... podflow.

(from 'pod' n., An abbreviation of iPod, a generic term for high-capacity portable music-players, and 'flow' n. A DJ's ability to mix records sequentially in a skillful and pleasing manner.)

comments:

very cool.... very very cool. I think 'flow' is used quite a bit as a term in buddhism - perhaps zen? or maybe it's taoist - for when things just 'click'... and it all starts humming. nice.
