About four landmarks for an hour long playlist.

It is important to create a shit tag (literally), to keep track of songs to delete.

Can mix by energy and key... Have software show related key and bpm. Filter by your own energy tags.

Chris M. recommends to use a layered system for music categorization:
- Layer 1) Genres / Subgenres
- Layer 2) Energy
- Layer 3) Vibe
Genre itself is the main overall (and broad) genre. Subgenres are tag-like and related to when you want to play it more granularly.
Energy is a measurement of the average energy of the song.
Vibes refer to the emotions and memories it brings up to you and potentially others you play it for. Some questions he asks: - 1) How does it make me feel? - 2) What does it remind me of? - 3) Where would I play it? - 4) When would I play it? - 5) Why would I play it? - 6) Who would I play it for?

When looking for songs in the library, it's very important to answer a few questions to filter. Not just to save storage space, but also to ensure the quality of one's library.
Chris M. recommends a SHORT LIST... Music you come across that you like and think about downloading, you put in there. Then wait for 24h before listening again to it. Finally, ask 3 questions before deciding to add it: - 1) Do I still like it? - 2) Would I play it out? - 3) Would I pay money for it?

Great video about music library organization.

Chris M. suggests to keep track of emotions/vibes to build certain kinds of playlists easier.
-
Can also categorize by time... Mostly related to music energy.
-
Chris M. suggests to start building a playlist with the end in mind. This is logical because it's easier to backtrack transitions then to do it forward.
Edit: This he suggested in a different video, not this one.
-
Good videos about playlists.

The Malayalam Cinema Today selection was disappointing. In a short essay published in the festival catalog, K. P. Jayakumar notes that Malayalam cinema is in the midst of a crisis brought on by globalization and by the influence of the Hollywood, Tamil, and Hindi film industries on the tastes of the local audience. Instead of following the path of other regional-language cinemas by projecting a valid representation of local identity, Malayalam cinema has so far settled for weakly imitative forms, according to Jayakumar. On the whole, the films in this section bore out this assessment. Even an above-average entry, veteran director T. V. Chandran’s oddly titled Beyond the Wail (Vilaapangalkkappuram), about a Muslim woman who flees from Gujarat to Kerala after the 2002 riots in her home state, suffers from the heavily obvious, over-slick style that dogs, more disastrously, Jayaraj’s Gulmohar and Madhupal’s Thalappavu (which both deal with the Naxalite struggles for land reforms in Kerala in the 1970s). M. Mohanan’s As the Story Unfolds… (Kadhaparayumpol) has some success with its light-comic approach to the problems of rural tradesmen (in particular, a poor village barber) in the face of modernization, but the film wastes its promise in torrents of crude sentimentality. Let’s hope that the best film in the section, Anjali Menon’s Lucky Red Seeds (Manjadikkuru), points to a larger renewal of Malayalam cinema and is not merely an isolated triumph by a gifted and intelligent first-time filmmaker.
