OurGirl: My First Intentional Playlist

mark the date. 14 march 08.

why?

i've purchased and assembled my first music playlist.











yeh. if i was really motivated, i would have embedding the sound of crickets as well. or the sound of my boys' dramatic sound bite: da-da-da-daaaaahhhh!

but this is really something. i'm actually pretty jazzed to have music. dont get me wrong, i still loves me lectures, but i'm going a bit slower and trying to let my brain process a bit better, now that i know better.

also, i promise that this will be my last list blog.

so here is the playlist (wait til you get a load of this). and no, this isn't a definitive collection. this is just a few songs from my way-back machine that buoys my spirit. and i sing to these songs as well. so when you pass a certain car that girl in that car? could be me. and i'm singing along to:
  1. somethin' stupid
    nancy sinatra and frank
  2. higher ground
    UB40
  3. Red, Red Wine
    UB40
  4. Come and Get Your Love
    Redbone
  5. Gimme Little Sign
    Brenton Wood
  6. Shambala
    Three Dog Night
  7. Black & White
    Three Dog Night
  8. Never Been to Spain
    Three Dog Night
  9. Dancing in the Moonlight
    King Harvest
  10. Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)
AND i've got my eye on a few albums. WAY! here they are:
  1. philly soul—featuring the incomparable Me and Mrs. Jones; When Will I See You Again; and the most passionate songs, EVER, by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes: Don't Leave Me This Way and If You Dont Know Me By Now
  2. Kiko: Los Lobos—Saint Behind the Glass; Whiskey Trail; Reva's House; Just a Man
  3. The Very Best of Hall and Oates—Rich Girl; Sara Smile; Out of Touch; and the dreamy One on One
  4. So Far So Good: Bryan Adams— yeh. another anthology. but really. Summer of 69!
  5. Home: Dixie Chicks—Truth No.2; A Home; Long Time Gone
  6. Aquarium: Aqua—You know it! Barbie Girl; Doctor Jones

I hope this is not your last list! I love lists. Sometimes when I drink to much water I list to the starboard. I hope I never make it on your S$@# List. And finally I would like to say I occasionally use "list"ereen. Signed-King of the Lists.
