While I was running around the University of Colorado in Boulder making sure things weren’t breaking terribly, one of our speakers from the conference stopped me to tell me that he’d heard an interview with Quentin Tarantino once. In this interview, Tarantino apparently said that his favourite thing about directing movies was making the soundtrack. This made a lot of sense to me.

And so, with that in mind, here is the much requested playlist I compiled that was playing in both rooms throughout the conference. Note that the order was randomised, so this list isn’t in any sort of order.
