A cool drink for the ears
Kelly has tagged me so I guess I’m obliged to post myTunes. The last time I was tagged I totally blew it, but I'll play along this time.
Here are her instructions:
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre,
whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they
must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions
in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to. (Note to Kelly: I don't have that many online friends so I have to leave it at 5)
From my "Sunday" playlist:
1. Shoot the Moon – Norah Jones. Yeah, I know most people consider her too “liteFM” but I think her voice is beautiful and I love these lyrics.
2. Times Like These - Jack Johnson (Someone told me he's a blander '90s version of James Taylor. Whatever. I like it.)
3. Very Nice – My friend Chrystal made me this amazing mix 2 years ago when I was freezing my ass off in NYC. It’s all samba, French and Brazilian music. I would listen to it in my cold, tiny, cold apt an imagine I was on the beach (with a hot guy in one hand and a cool Caipirinha in the other…) This is one of my faves from that cd. Sorry but I don’t know the artist.
4. I Shall Believe – Sheryl Crow. It’s a hold over from my Alias/Felicity days (what TWoP calls “Ovary Electric Music”).
5. Scar Tissue – Red Hot Chili Peppers. Put simply: They Rule. I can't wait for Stadium Arcadium!
6. Feel Good Inc. – Gorillaz. This is just a cool song. I think I had it on endless loop for a whole day last week.
7. Ready Steady Go – Paul Oakenfold. I have a bunch of Ok on this playlist but this one's the best. I hear this and suddenly, I. Am. ON!
Bonus: Miles Davis soundtrack to Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud. I taped it from my friend Amy about 9 years ago but never labeled it, so for the longest time I didn’t even know the name of the record or even the tracks. I listen to this soundtrack all the time. Literally. One day I’ll see the film but for now I prefer the movie that plays in my mind. This is some great, moody music. It's Miles, man. What more can I say?
1. Rebecca
2. Elizabeth
3. La Dauphine (where are you?)
4. Hunter Woo
5. Wysegal

I'll do this ASAP. Now I have something to post on my boring blog. I am the laziest person in the world. Thanks!

I'm so glad that you didn't wiggle away while I tagged you. :)
You are the second person with Jack Johnson and Paul Oakenfold on your list so I must check these fellas out. I'm feeling terminally unhip.
Re: the Miles Davis soundtrack. I missed a showing of the movie when it came to town last spring or early summer. I can just imagine how fabulous the soundtrack is. Maybe I'll take a stroll over to Ye Olde Record Shoppe.
