Cartoon Mnemonics for MiniDisc
Cataloging Minidiscs poses an interesting problem due to the easily re-recordable nature of the format and the ability to store much more than one album per media.
I ended up with a rather amusing solution. I would draw quick and stupid cartoon faces on the discs and then use them to mentally tell what is one them.
For example the Mullet clad hard rocker guy contains 80s metal while the cartoon of Neo is hardcore techno. I was just trying to be cute but it turned out to be a very slick mnemonic device for remembering abstract data like a quick changing track list.

Care to explain what the other mnemonics represent?

Is Batman for classical tracks and new music scores?
What could the Godzilla with hair mean?
Is that Elvis in the bottom right corner?
Do you confuse Sonic Mullet with the 80's mullet?

I was trying to draw Bruce Cambell but it does look like young Elvis. It is more about emotions than an exact formula. It is just hard to remember songs when you are using just colors.

A chainsaw and a boomstick would help the picture.
