ah well, it's been a while again. so a new list!
so i started out with this idea that i would challenge everyone (like anyone is reading this) to come up with 1 CD (80 minutes) of music for a sort of desert-island situation. but then, i couldn't narrow it down that much. i mean, i am seriously down to everything i ever put on multiple mix CDs, listened to on repeat for a long, long time, etc etc, and i still have 40 songs. so screw it, i'm making a double CD set.
these are alphabetical by song title, because i'm too lazy to order them properly:
1. Amarillo by Morning - George Strait
2. America - Simon & Garfunkel
3. Angie - The Rolling Stones
4. Ben McCulloch - Steve Earle
5. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
6. Can't Get Enough of Your Love - Barry White
7. Cooling - Tori Amos
8. Danny Boy (traditional; i like the version by the Chieftains & Diana Krall)
9. Earthbound - Rodney Crowell
10. Easy Mark - Nerf Herder
11. Eli, the Barrowboy - The Decemberists
12. Erendira - Christian Kiefer
13. Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight - Whiskeytown
14. Fight Test - The Flaming Lips
15. Flower - Liz Phair (but i prefer the Pansy Division cover)
16. Full of Grace - Sarah McLachlan
17. Good Hearted Woman - Waylon & Willie
18. Hey Jupiter - Tori Amos
19. Houses on the Hill - Whiskeytown
20. If You Could Save Yourself, You'd Save Us All - Ween
21. Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight - many versions, i like the one by the Dead Ringer Band
22. Let Me Touch You For A While - Alison Krauss & Union Station
23. Misery & Gin - Merle Haggard
24. Miss Being Mrs. - Loretta Lynn
25. My Only Bad Habit - Cross Canadian Ragweed
26. New Zero - Rasputina
27. Niteclub - The Old 97's
28. Oh My Sweet Carolina - Ryan Adams (maybe my favorite song EVER)
29. Origin of Love - Hedwig & the Angry Inch
30. Return of the Grievous Angel - Gram Parsons, but i prefer the Ryan Adams/Emmylou Harris cover
31. Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits
32. Streams of Whiskey - The Pogues
33. Suspicious Minds - Elvis Presley
34. Swan Dive - Ani DiFranco
35. Thunder Road (acoustic version) - Bruce Springsteen

Oh, what inspiration! Now I'll have to compile my own 2-disc set. Man, just a cursory examination of the songs that I might include makes my head hurt. For the most part, good track selections there. I was a little surprised to find both cooling and hey jupiter, but nothing from under the pink.
see, under the pink i usually listen to as an album, while i don't listen to pele or venus much outside of hey jupiter and cooling.
I find it a bit amusing that my two favorite Tori albums contain only two songs that you listen to.
and you've never even listened to the beekeeper, which i listen to all the time.
