  • The 2013 Arlington Million playlist

    POSTED Aug 11, 2013 By Unknown
    My trip to Arlington Heights on Monday from Lexington on Monday will take much longer than the six hours it would in an about-straight shot. That's mainly due to a couple of nosh stops along the way--lunch at Brugge Brasserie in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis and dinner at Three Floyds Brewbub in Munster Indiana.

     It's three hours to lunch, another 2 1/2 hours to dinner, and then about an hour from dinner to bed near the track. I was torn how to approach the playlist: A six-hour tour de force to get me there and back? A standard 60-75-minute CD-style collection? In the end I leaned more toward the latter, packing 97:44 of music onto a 26-track mix.

     There a few new complete albums (Polyphonic Spree's "Yes, It's True" and Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zero's eponymous offerings) I've been wanting to check out, so the thought is I can get through my mix and both of those before dinner before letting the mix get me "home" for the week.
