Under budget.

Under time.

Over performed.

Great communication skills.

Who am I referring to?

I just finished reading another interesting article from Fast Company about transforming American higher education thanks to my friend and co-worker Adam. I thought I’d share a few random thoughts I had afterwards.

I’ve been trying to revise my iTunes library lately to get rid of songs I never listen to and to make it more manageable (22,000 tracks is not manageable). To weed out tracks I never listen to, I’ve been searching for keywords like ‘intro’, ‘outro’, and ‘interlude’. It just so happened that after I got done deleting unwanted interlude tracks I had exactly 25 left so I thought I’d list them out to share some of the randomness that is my iTunes library.

1. Interlude by Memphis Bleek from 534
2. Pack the Pipe (Interlude) by The Pharcyde from Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde
3. ‘92 Interlude by Gang Starr from Daily Operation
4. 4 Better or 4 Worse (Interlude) by The Pharcyde from Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde
5. b.i.g. interlude by The Notorious B.I.G. from Life After Death
6. Interlude by My Chemical Romance from Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
7. Eric’s Interlude by Modest Mouse from Good News for People Who Love Bad News
8. Normal Guy (Interlude) by The Lonely Island from Incredibad
9. Superstar (interlude) by Usher from Confessions

20. Boyz N Da Hood Interlude by Boyz N Da Hood from Boyz N Da Hood
21. U Still Got It (Interlude) by Jamie Foxx from Unpredictable
22. Public Service Announcement (Interlude) by Jay-Z from The Black Album
23. game-interlude by VA from DJ Sean Mac - Street Crack
24. Lovestoned/I Think She Knows Interlude by Justin Timberlake from FutureSex / LoveSounds

I thought it was interesting that these ‘interludes’ ranged from being 0:16 to 7:29 in length. That ‘game-interlude’ is an interview with The Game where’s he talks about his mom being a crip, what his teardrop tattoos mean, and who he wants to beat up (kind of funny). I think my favorite has to either be “‘92 Interlude” or “Bamboo (Interlude)” because that little kid is hilarious.
