For the first time in weeks, an FRT. Though my wife and I share an Itunes account, I download much more than she does; every one of these is mine. This may be my favorite mix I’ve ever had come up, as I love every one of these songs. (Well, #4 just reminds me of the summer of 1999 when I was in the best shape of my life, and otherwise is not a gem in my collection — but the other nine make me very happy indeed.)
1. "A Change is Gonna Come", Sam Cooke
2. "Gaudeamus Igitur", Mario Lanza (from "The Student Prince", one of my favorite musicals ever)
3. "Alone and Forsaken", Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler
4. "Steal my Sunshine", Len
5. "Driftwood", Travis
6. "New York, New York", Ryan Adams
7. "Sexuality", Billy Bragg
8. "Thief", Third Day
9. "Sloop John B", Beach Boys
10. "Tuesday’s Gone", Lynyrd Skynyrd
I’ve heard that FRTs are going out of fashion. But it’s the only blogging meme I regularly indulge in, and I’m going to stick with it.
Eh. I still do ‘em. But it’s not like I’m trying super hard to be awesomely cool. FRTs rock.
