I got home a bit ago, and I'm going to see what I can do as far as getting my thoughts down. Perhaps a little jumbled, but so it goes. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2009\/03\/09\/watching-the-watchmen\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2005<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/03\/09\/boom\/\">Boom!<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Wow.

While some aren't much more complex than the simple beatmatching I did while I was dj'ing, others I've found are jaw-droppingly cool, with layers of multiple tracks that really shouldn't work together as well as they do. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/03\/09\/mashups\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2004<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/03\/09\/insignificant-microbe\/\">Insignificant Microbe<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Jacqueline pointed out The Truth Laid Bear's Weblog Ecosystem, which ranks weblogs by how many links point to them.

Normally, this wouldn't be terribly interesting to me, as I already have a very large Tori collection, and therefore wouldn't have much need for a compilation album.
