I have been pumping out a lot of mixes lately which is probably because I am reorganizing my CDs so I am coming across a bunch that I forgot about. Check 'em out y'all.
I found A Reason – The Velvet Underground
Did you know Lou Reed had electric shock therapy as a child? How horrible that must have been. It explains a lot about his musical perspective.
Blue Letter – Fleetwood Mac
Like most teenagers in the mid 90’s I was really into Stevie Nicks. Other music that I should be embarrassed that I listened to at the time: Joan Baez, Linda Ronstadt , Eva Cassidy, Barbara Streisand, Brian Eno, Rosemary Clooney, the Monster Ballads cd (ordered off the tv with my dad’s credit card), and Jewel.
Your Love is The Place I Come From – Teenage Fan Club
This comes off the album “Songs From Northern Brittan” which is one of my all time favorites so it’s songs pop up on a lot of my mixes
I Love You, Your Perfect – Kathy Rigby
I can’t think of anyone else who writes song from the perspective of a suburban wife and mother of teenager. If I play this song in the few days before I get my period I tear up.
Daughter – Loudon Wainwright III
I am obsessed with this song right now. I keep it in my car’s CD player and listen to it on repeat.
Never Leave Your Heart Alone – Butterfly Boucher
Good advice huh? This is a Grey’s Anatomy song from season 1.

Private Conversation – Lyle Lovett
I saw him with my sister and brother-in-law Ed at Foxwoods, the mega casino in Connecticut. He’s pigeon toed. Lyle Lovett, not Special Ed.
Honey and the Moon – Joseph Arthur
This is one of my friend Tanya’s favorite songs. It reminds me of driving around Manhattan Beach on one of my trips to LA to visit her. I love the lyric “if you weren’t real I’d make you up”.
I Hear Noises – Tegan & Sara
Everyone’s favorite lesbian twins wrote this catchy tune. I haven’t checked out their new album yet but I hear it’s really good.
Tennessee – The Wreckers
I love Tennessee. If you get a chance visit Chattanooga I would highly recommend it. It’s a really cool city especially if you like outdoorsy stuff since it is in the mountain part of the state. For a fun challenge try to think of all the states that border it. In college I had a crush on two guys; both were named Jeremy, both were architecture students, and both were from Chattanooga. Oh, and both were gay. Shut up! I didn’t know.
I Found a Reason – Cat Power
I am book ending this list with two versions of this song. Obviously Lou Reed wrote the original and you can find it on Chan (pronounced "Shawn") Marshall’s Covers album which is superb. Autumn says this song gets stuck in her head. I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all.

When this picture was taken quite a while ago it got a decent amount of press for being so cute. My dad saw it in the paper and clipped it out and put it on my dresser for me. I think I must have been around 12 or 13. I love my dad...

There is NOTHING embarrasing about listening to LINDA RONSTADT, the Queen of rock, and i don't think most teenagers listened to nicks in the 90's....great singer though...but LINDA RONSTADT IS EXCELLENT, WATCH HER ON YOU TUBE OR READ THE WIKI ON HER.....ASTOUNDING BUT EMBARRASING, NOT....
Tanial, who are you?
I need a new mix CD. That sounds like a good mix of songs and I am really curious to hear them now that you have talked them up.
Col, That's not me...
