It's a hazy Saturday. The first Saturday in a while that I haven't had any plans at all and I've been home alone, left up to my own devices. I know there's a million chores I could apply myself to, but I don't feel like it. I made a big pot of coffee and I've just been sitting here all morning drinking it and listening to cds and reading blogs. Darcie gave me a kickass mix cd for my birthday. I love it that Darcie always gives me presents that are meaningful and provide perrenial joy.
The song lineup is totally tubular:
Speak for me - Cat Power
Three Peaches - Neutral Milk Hotel
Plants & Rags - PJ Harvey
Alameda - Elliot Smith
Such Great Heights - The Postal Service
Flugufrelsarinn - Sigur Ros
Life of Arctic Sounds - Modest Mouse
One Song for You - Sleater-Kinney
Hit - Sugarcubes
Between the Bars - Elliot Smith
The Boy with the Arab Strap - Belle and Sebastian
Motorcrash - Sugarcubes
Trailer Trash - Modest Mouse
Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sea of Love - Cat Power
Can't stop lovin' on it!!! Every tune is a feel good tune. More than half of these are not groups or artists that I listen to on the regular. That's why getting mixes from friends is so fun. You hear what they are really in to at the moment and stuff you might not otherwise choose at the music store. I've never gotten a mix cd from a friend that I didn't like. Even the one Kathleen gave me once that had songs on it from Cats and The Little Mermaid soundtracks!!! Hahaa. Actually, that was one of my faves.
