Mix Tapes That Suck
This article discusses iTunes and their celebrity playlists. The article mentions how, aside from the chosen songs being alternately lame and self-serving (making a playlist the majority of which consists of your own songs is a bit much), the "liner notes" from the celebs are often cringe-worthy.
My favorite example of deep, meaningful explanations of song selections is from Avril Lavigne, who wrote of Alanis Morissette's "Ironic": "I love how this song was written with all the different examples Alanis uses of things being ironic." I sincerely hope she was joking.

Okay, I really am old. I did not know 10% of the artists (?) they were talking about. But I did find a great Marty Robbins 3 set CD and the new Nora Jones CD this weekend, so all is not lost.
