Is a Playlist an Original Work?

I don't think I've seen the question asked yet, in all the great debates about artisty, copyright, and ownership of musical product, whether or not the playlist is an original work? What is the legal standing of a compilation of tunes for the listener's pleasure?

A long time ago, during a humid spring in Southside Virginia, I made this mix:

"The Song of Nothing," Guilhem IX
"Sweaters," Laurie Anderson
"A chantar mier," Beatriz de Dia
"Langue d'Amour," Laurie Anderson
"Now I can delight in love," Pére Cardenal / E.l. mare e.l. pare
"More," The Sisters of Mercy
"Bitter," Lush
"The Passion of Lovers," Bauhaus
"It Doesn't Matter," Depeche Mode
"Don't Leave Me This Way," Communards
"Crowds," Bauhaus
"Somebody," Depeche Mode
"You Could Be The One," The Sisters of Mercy
"Satellite Ecstatica," Pop Will Eat Itself
"Flashback," Ministry
"convulsion," Skinny Puppy
"kinda i want to," nine inch nails
"Deanna," Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
"Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me," Janet, The Rocky Horror Picture Show
"If You Love Someone Set Them Free," Sting
"lovesong," The Cure
"Nothing Compares 2 U," Sinéad O'Connor
"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," The Police

Did this mix not tell a story? Did I not weave the words and music of others in such a manner that it was an original work, telling with exquisite agony the plight of an angry lover?
