Popular Playlists on my Poor Overused iPod

- I love making playlists. It's like a chronic obsession. Playlists for every mood of the day. A cheap excuse to drag my iPod EVERYWHERE. And, I tell ya, after a while the playlists get contagious. Here are some of the playlists that seem to have gotten popular with my friends, peers and family.
- Just a quick 411, I make them in small volumes, instead of SUPER SHUFFLE playlists. Just in case the situation hits where my iPod isn't available to me for some horrifying reason, I can just burn it to a disc.
- And if you're wondering about the meaning of the titles, the mood of the playlists, or what I was aiming for, I left details about all of that in the "Author Comments" section underneath all of this.
- PLEASE DO: Suggest! If you have suggestions that you think I'd possibly love to fit into a future playlist, I'd looooove to hear about them!
- PLEASE DO NOT: Judge and put down the playlists I've already produced. I've grown very fond of these and so have people close to me (who have to bear to listen to them in my car, at parties, etc. Muahahaha). What is there for you to judge in the first place? These are 100% personal so it's nearly pointless. Don't get me wrong- critiques are welcome, and questions are also welcome, but "God this playlist sucks" will only result in disapproving looks and eyerolls from everyone else. Honest.

Blisstronica is intended for cooldown purposes, but I tried to make it as eclectic in musical variety as I could. I bent music genre qualities, and didn't stick to a pattern of just (for example) trip hop, world beat, ambience, etc.
Coffee Mix is obviously for the people who love 'falling inlove at a coffee shop'... haha okay not exactly but it's to go with that mood. I don't like to cliché coffee shop soundtracks by saying that this is what they all play, but none-the-less this is the title. Alternative, indie, experimental, ambient, and a few electronic tracks fill this void.
Malicious Beauty is centered around industrial music, or rather, the more electric and experimental side of it. I'm personally not a fan of the monotone vocals of most of the industrial bands these days... (Assemblage 23, Neuroticfish, Funker Vogt, Solar Flake, etc. They sound so... bored.) So I attempt to look for other factors. I like industrial music that sounds sexy and lustful. That's what I tried to bring out in these playlists.
