PLAYLIST

The “My mouth tastes like defeat. Did he at least have money?” Playlist

Written by Emily

This weekend was comprised of a lot of bad choices which somehow left me wishing I was dead / having a lady at Starbucks telling me it looked like I “needed to find Jesus.”  First dramatized swine flu outbreak, then tickets for public urination and being pulled over at 7am on your way to work for drunk driving.  It was just one of those weeks I guess.  The music on this play list was made by me and Molly who woke up on Sunday cradling a stuffed sheep, her dog, and a vitamin water.  With tonight being Cinco de Mayo, I am 85% sure this will be getting a replay tomorrow morning.

1. Track 1- Sigur Ros, ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n69c, This song was the first song we listened to on the way to brunch on Sunday morning.  We cried the whole way.  Totally worth it. Sigur Rós

2. Konstantine- Something Corporate ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n68j,  Reminds me of freshman year of college.  *insert hungover toilet-hugging noise here*

3. Nantes- Beirut♫ http://blip.fm/~5n6gw,  Because I always need an excuse to listen to Beirut. Beirut

4. Lets Get It On- Marvin Gaye ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n67f,  Are you having some flashbacks from someone playing this song the night before??  Trying to remember if there was a condom involved or where the nearest un-Planned Parenthood is?  This one is for you. Marvin Gaye

5. Brick (Acoustic) – Ben Folds Five ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n66u,  “The worlds asleep and I am. Numb.” Ben Folds Five

6. Recycled Air- The Postal Service ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n664,  Ben Gibbards voice is as soothing as the cold tile underneath me in the bathroom. The Postal Service

7. 9 Crimes- Damien Rice ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n6fx, The prettiest song about cheating.  It’s off of his “9” Album for those of you who got past his “O” album.  Molly was pretty upset after hearing Damien Rice for the first time hungover, but I think she got the point.  Damien Rice

8.  Blood Bank- Bon Iver ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n65j, If you haven’t heard Bon Iver yet, listen to this song.  It’s pretty amazing. Bon Iver

9. Heart Song- Weezer ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n64h, Pretty song and also really funny.  Someday you will laugh at what you did the night before.  Not yet for us, but I feel like its coming soon.  I was surprised how many people haven’t heard this.  Listen! Weezer

10. Stepping Stone- Duffy ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n63k, Meghan says her voice is like buttaaahh. Duffy

11. Use Somebody- Bat For Lashes ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n7u2, Obviously this isn’t on iTunes because it’s a cover of Kings of Leon song about using someone.

12. Fix You- Coldplay ♫ http://blip.fm/~5n6hz, Because no amount of showers can wash away the shame. Coldplay
