Sorry, if I wasn’t clear. The Mason Jennings was my first choice, but only because it has a sentimental thing for me. When Tricia was pregnant with Thing 1 that was her theme song, and we went and saw Jennings play at a smoky little bar in Seattle when she was at 8 months. We sat in the very back with another very pregnant woman, there for the same reason.

I do love the Josh Ritter song though. It’s your show, man, you pick out of those gems.

Hey, I’m bumping up a song to my #2 slot. Please file this in the, why should you care file.

La Mar (the ocean) by The Beautiful Girls

and while I’m here, how about Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel

I know I’ve far surpassed the limit, but at least listen to a clip of them, all good stuff!

How about a Tori Amos song…hmmm…I sort of like Happy Phantom as an unknown song but also love Silent All These Years for something that’s a bit more commercial sounding.

And I’ve been listening to a lot of kiddie music as well - what about something from the They Might Be Giants album, No! Maybe Four of Two? Or the House At The Top Of The Tree?

And what about a song from the Curious George album….maybe Upside Down…gotta love Jack Johnson.

Hey, I’ve been listening nonstop to your CD while I’m here in Seattle! LOVING IT! Maybe I’ll write up a review in a couple of days.

alright, take your pick from theseâ€”â€”

Look For Meâ€“Neko Case
Timebombâ€“Old 97’s
O Deathâ€“Ralph Stanley
Jesus Walksâ€“Kanye West
Chocolate Jesusâ€“Tom Waits
(those last two are my only form of religion)
Crazyâ€“Patsy Cline
I’m So Lomesome I Could Cryâ€“Hank Williams
Arleneâ€“the Handsome Family
Beyond The Seaâ€“Django Reinhardt
Fell In Love With a Girlâ€“The White Stripes
Flatheadâ€“The Fratellis
…but if you decide to only go with one, please pick
Smells Like Teen Spiritâ€“Nirvana

i know that one is well known compared to most of mine but at the time, it hit me like a ton of bricks! never before had i wanted to stay young forever, because when i’m old and frail, i’ll be a pretty pathetic sight rocking out to nirvana.

this has been painful for me having to cut from a much longer list! i’m curious to hear what you’re including, dan…

There are 28 songs on the playlist so far - I’m going to start randomly choosing some people to get a second choice included pretty soon as I think that’s probably going to be it. That won’t be tonight though - possibly tomorrow.

So you still have an opportunity to suggest something if you want to Bon Bon, or anyone else for that matter.

I’m looking forward to putting them all together. I’ve had the playlist on pretty constant shuffle since I started this thing, and I have to say it’s looking pretty good.

Thunder Road by Springsteen is my ultimate all time favourite ever song for the optimism in the last line: It’s a town full of losers and I’m pulling out of here to win.

Also, Eric Clapton: Layla.

For obvious reasons.
