Noteworthy Songs
These are not my favorite songs. They are songs that I have added to
this list, mainly as a note to myself. For example, if I like a song
but am unfamiliar with the artist, I might track down that info and
record it here. Or if a song is not in my music collection and I find
an audio clip on the web (or wish I would), I might put a link here.
The sorting order of the artists is straightforward: Initial
A/An/The is ignored, no words are reordered, non-alphanumeric characters
are ignored, case is ignored. So “Howard Jones” comes
before “Jane's Addiction” because howardjones comes before
janesaddiction. Digits preceed letters, as in ASCII.
The matter is unfortunately complicated by the fact that Japanese
names, while traditionally written family-name-first, are sometimes
reversed when rendered in Roman letters, but there's no consistency.
For example, there are many references to “Yumi Yoshimura”
and many to “Yoshimura Yumi”. For the time being, I've
arbitrarily chosen always to put the family name first in Japanese
names. The spelling of the proper names is generally agreed on, even
when it's not a standard romanization (for example, Kahala rather than
Kahara).
When I romanize Japanese song titles, I use “wa-puro”
romaji, and I use my own judgement for placing word breaks and capital
letters. (Is there a standard for this?)
