Remember that period of time in blogging history when we all shared our playlists? Scripts and applications that maintained our "most recently played 20 songs" online were all the rage. I even wrote a few of my own.

Now, not so much.

Incidentally: Erik is listening to "Monday Morning" by Fleetwood Mac from the album "The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac" (2002). Erik has rated this song 4.0 stars and last played this song Saturday, October 28, 2006 4:07:50 pm.
