Songs I Forgot About But Am Loving the Shit Out of This Morning
In the order in which they appear on "Mariko Made Me, Spring '07" one of my favorite playlists. If I love you, you might already have a copy of it. If not, it can't hurt to ask. (And by ask I mean beg, steal or borrow. Or offer something in trade.)

Sad for me, Happy for you?
Unfortunately I'm not somewhere I can listen to the stream of this right now (the blocked message is quite amusing or NOT amusing depending on how badly you feel like listenin'), but it looks like a great playlist, and you might a) like it and b) actually be allowed to listen to it right now. Go you! ;)

Playlist: "Why Are You Breaking My Heart?"
An old playlist rediscovered this week-end. I quite like it, and playlists don't always stand the test of time. (Party playlists seem to be especially time period-specific.) Not sure who was breaking my heart in Fall 2006, but perhaps I was just in the mood to have it be broken. Sonically, that is.
Why Are You Breaking My Heart?

- "I Don't Care What You Call Me" - David Ford
- "I Go to the Barn Because I like the" - Band of Horses
- "Boston" - Augustana
- "Winding Up" - Clare Bowditch and the Feeding Set
- "What Does It Mean Now?" - World Party
- "Skeleton Key" - Margot & the Nuclear So and So's
- "Never Yours" - Tracy Chapman
- "Unspoken Love" - The Electric Farm
- "Home" - Barenaked Ladies
- "You" - Switchfoot
- "That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart" - Aimee Mann
- "Jessie's Girl" (cover) - Matt the Electrician
- "Steady as We Go" - Dave Matthews

Old Favorites Revisited...Lonely Boy Fall 05
Sometimes I get in a bad habit of only listening to the new tunes fighting for space on the iPod and conveniently forget that there are loads of playlists full of old stuff that I love and if I'm not going to listen to it then maybe it wouldn't need to be there taking up its own space... So this morning I started going through old mixes. When I listen to this now, it seems a bit more straight-out rock than I remember... I haven't listened to some of these songs probably since shortly after I first made this mix... Glad to find I still dig it.
Lonely Boy Fall 05
- "Homesick" Kings of Convenience
- "You're So True" Joseph Arthur
- "Sending a Note" Graham Colton Band
- "The Drifter" David Poe
- "Cold Day in the Sun" Foo Fighters
- "Strangerman" Ringside (lots of love for this song)
- "How to Dream" Sam Phillips
- "Eve, the Apple of My Eye" Bell X1 (...SOUNDS LIKE...Annie Lennox!)
- "All for You" Sister Hazel
- "Faded Beauty Queens" The Thrills
- "Home to Me" Josh Kelley
- "Across 110th Street" Bobby Womack & Peace (long-time fave)
- "New York, New York" Ryan Adams
- "Be Be Your Love" Rachael Yamagata
- "New York" Richard Ashcroft
- "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" Everlast (cover)
- "Real Love / It's Only Life" Mike Doughty (cover)
- "Life on a Chain" Pete Yorn
- "Let It Be" Beatles (can't go wrong...)
Try it. You might like it.
