This weekend I bought the Kronos Quartet’s celebrity playlist from the iTunes Store. I’m not especially familiar with the work or tastes of the Kronos Quartet, so why did I buy their celebrity playlist? After engaging in a session of retrospective introspection, I realized that I must have been impressed by the fact that there are four of them (hence the “Quartet” part of their name), and they all like these songs, even though their association as the Kronos Quartet exists for purposes other than the liking of these songs. Anyway I’m just writing this because that was a terrible rationale for making a decision, and despite the prior privateness of its nature, I am compelled to make a public apology. The music still turned out to be OK.
