I want to know if it's something in you academic types.

Okay.

I use in a non-derogatory way. Sure. Because you, when you started working on the bookshelf, either I asked you or you took it upon yourself, whatever, you made a lot of playlist for the bookshelf. Yeah. Spotify. So does Kate. Mm-hmm. And I just want to, like, and she's a musicologist, so maybe that's part of it. Sure. Yeah. But what draws the two of you to Spotify into a playlist making?

And that's the thing. Like, I only use Spotify for the bookshelf. Oh. I love making playlists for sure. Um, but usually I, like, want it to fit on a CD. So, like, 12 to 16 songs or something like that. Yeah, we need what? Like a hundred?

78-ish.

Yeah.

Because like for a retail soundtrack, you want it to be more than four hours long

so that you don't have to listen to the same songs over and over and over.

Yeah.

And guess what?

It was pretty hard to do.

It's very hard to do.

Because some songs I've noticed, like they sound great at first, and then like Sugeon

or whatever has like these instrumental parts at the end where I'm like, turn it off, I can't.

Because it's like this cacophony of sound.

So the American Booksellers Association put out a survey yesterday.

It was just like this brief little thing

with their weekly newsletter. And it said, what music do you play in your store? Check one. And it was

classic jazz and rock. And I was like, is this what we're listening to? Because this is not what

the bookshelf listens to. Our genre is not even on there. I went to another independent bookstore on Sunday,

and they were playing like a 90s alt-rock and grunge soundtrack,

and I thought, huh.
