What is Foo Music?

Foo, FØØ, F00, whatever you call it…  In the summer of 2000 I discovered the Play Count column of Windows Media Player.  I was in college, heading home for the Christmas break and was excited to show my sisters and parents all the neat music I had discovered since I had seen them last.  I needed music for myself and music to show them, and that turned out to be 20 CDs I was bringing home.  I didn’t want to take up suitcase space for that, so I went into Windows Media Player, sorted by playcount, and burned a CD of my most heard music that year.  Because it was the Fall of 2000, I scribbled “FØØ” with a black sharpie on the disc.  This quickly became my favorite mix-CD.  My friends wanted copies, and their friends wanted copies.  Eventually there became a ring of people who referred to the CD, and eventually the process, as “foo.”  Search google for it and link here… And so we are here, on the weekend I am burning “foo seven,” spelled FØØ7.  And people love this one…
