2 Cents: from Lehman into Music





A while ago I saw this player featured on someone’s blog and I have wanted to add it to my own but did not quite find the time or the mood to do so. But since I’m in a way too good of a mood tonight to study or to even attempt anything else remotely useful, I am finally going to share my musical taste with the entire world! (Oh, well, who am I kidding!? I mean…. with all five to six people who occasionally read the blog :))

The player is really easy to put together and you can add it to almost any blog and to all major social networking sites. And you know, that’s a great idea, since you can tell a lot about someone by the music they like. Just think about this for one second. You know those really long profiles displaying political, socio-economic and religious views that you need to take your time to create, usually on company’s time? And no one even cares to read halfway through? They could be gone, yeah, moot. Just make a list of your top fifty to one hundred songs and voila, you have proudly displayed your personality. BBC reports of an actual recent study on how music tastes link to personality.

However,just in case you cannot figure it out from my music, I solemnly swear that should I "get the choice to converse for one whole hour with anyone in the world" it would not be Alan Greenspan but instead Ronald McDonald. Yes, I would want him to tell me exactly how he made Microsoft so damn successful!
