Today I noticed that Rhapsody has finally added one of my favorite Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds albums, Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus. This beautiful piece of perfection is a double album released in 2004, and was the band's 13th studio release. Rhapsody's addition of this record filled a large gap in their library for me. Combine this with the newly added Hüsker Dü catalog and I'm one seriously happy camper. 

One of my favorite tracks from Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus is "There She Goes, My Beautiful World". Since I already have this song in my iTunes library I decided to build an iTunes Genius playlist from it. If you're not familiar, iTunes Genius is an automated playlist creator. You just pick a song from your library, click the Genius button, and walla, you've got yourself a playlist. I must admit, the playlists Genius has created for me have all been of superior quality.

Instead of continuing to keep these playlists to myself I've decided to start sharing them here.

With you.

I hope you love them as much as I do.
