Playlist Wednsdays!

Happy Wednesday!!! Are you ready for the most amazingly random playlist ever made?
Some of them you will love... some you will still love even though you want to hate them
A couple links are videos, some are full length, but most are just samples! I would go to Playlist.com or Youtube to listen to the full versions!

1. Otis Redding, The Happy Song (Dum Dum): Play this song... I dare you not to smile

2. The Format, Snails: Nothing makes me happier then an original sounding voice singing a cleverly written song about Hermaphrodites.

3. Ray Lamontagne, Please : Oh goodness I love Ray. His voice is like a hand that reaches into my body and caresses my soul. No joke. "baby I was born just to kiss your mouth"

4. Fiona Apple, Paper Bag: Dear Fiona, someday we're going to be friends. This song defines my life right now.

5. Maria Mena, Sorry: I first heard this song on "So you think you can dance". Her voice is just so simple and honest. I love that!! It's like she's telling a story.

6. Ben Folds, Zak and Sara: Do I even need to explain why I love this song? my favorite normal guy who just so happens to be famous. Ben Folds is top notch. ooo wa ooo wa

7. The Shins, Turn on Me: My favorite Shins song. I have a pretty hilarious poster of them in my bedroom... I think it freaks my roommate out a little.

8. Edith Piaf, La Foule: I first heard this when I was watching Amelie. I have no idea what the song means, but I play it in my car when I'm mad at snotty people. Nothing says mad like some French and some R rolls. rrrrr

9. Nessun Dorma (any version): Get's me everytime. One night I couldn't sleep, so I decided it would be a good idea to kill time by listening to opera while reading the English translations. Let's just say my roommate woke up to find me bawling on my couch while listening to this song. I think I make her nervous sometimes....

10. Eartha Kitt, C'est si Bon (It's so good): I'm in a French mood today. Someday I will go to Paris and listen to this song in my taxi on the way to my adorable hotel.

11. Dave Matthews Band, Grey Street: Everyone needs a little Dave in their lives. This one is my favorite. I saw a this one guy play an acoustic cover of it once, and he got so into it, he broke two strings.

12. Cat Stevens, The Wind: HUGE Cat Stevens fan. My best friend Sarah and I listened to this song in my car while waiting to get into the disneyland parking structure... so whenever I think of Cat Stevens I think of Mickey Mouse... is that odd?

13. Blitzen Trapper, Furr: Once upon a time I went to the Hollywood Bowl to see Ray Lamontagne. These guys opened for him (along with my idol Jenny Lewis). I loved 'em.

14. Jesse McCartney Feat. T-pain, Body Language: RANDOM... a terrible guilty pleasure. Imagine my girlfriends and I driving down the 57 with the windows down after Pizookies. We listened to this five times... That thing you got behind you is amazing.

15. The Aquabats, Super Rad: 15 year-olds punching it out at church dances. ahhh memories

16. Greg Laswell, Comes and Goes in Waves: A Grey's Anatomy discovery. Many musical gems have I discovered on the medical soap opera.

17. Amos Lee, Colors: Sexy. Those high notes... eee gads.

18. The Talking Heads, And She Was: My dad's favorite song. Imagine a tall, skinny, middle-aged engineer with glasses dancing around my living room. I love him to death.

19. Noah and the Whale, Shape of My Heart: I listened to this song almost everyday walking home from class last year, So when I hear it, I can literally see every crack in the sidewalk by my old apartment.

20. Peter Gabriel, The Book of Love: so many good times associated with this song... none of them having to do with being in love. ha!

  1. I think Cat Stevens would appreciate being associated with Mickey. He is just that cool.
