Setris

We've written a bunch of new songs recently, which means it's time to put a new set list together. I'm pretty happy with my first draft except for the placement of one song, a mellow, happy tune called "Saturday Morning." It isn't terrible where it is. It just isn't optimal. There are a few others that would go better in the spot.

But switching them around doesn't work. If I put "Saturday Morning" in a more favorable place, it displaces something else. And vice versa.

This is why set lists stagnate. There comes a point when you get tired of playing Tetris with the tunes.
