The algorithm: Step 1: Produce a show* last week based on records and tracks randomly selected by my 3-year-old. Step 2: Inspire jealousy in my 5-year-old that she didn’t help out with that show. Step 3: Agree to do it again with said 5-year-old, with CDs instead of vinyl. Step 4: Ask the 5-year-old to pick 18 CDs (no vetoes). Step 5: The 5-year-old picks 21 CDs and is pretty insistent about it (whatevs). Step 6: Have the 5-year old roll d20 for each CD to pick a track (no rerolls). Step 7: Mix them as best as I can. Step 8: Upload to mixcloud. Step 9: Place tracklist in comments. Step 10: Hope you savor all of the forgotten and not-so-forgotten favorites and not-so-favorites (lighter on the schmaltz this time).
