You rearranged the furniture

Amanda,

I really like what you've done with the place. I've never had any decorative sensibilities so I am glad you took care of this rather than going to your classes or researching Genocide in Africa.

Good picks last week. I like where your head's at on the instrumental, way to widen the playing field. On the theme of Dylan covers I've got Spanish Harlem Incident covered by the lead singer of the Shins. It's about a gypsy girl. Not as whiny as the original. Just as amazing lyrics.

I think our criteria list looks like this:

1) spine tingling
2)toe tapping
3) gut punching

I vote to add the pepto bismol rule. I am the kind of person who goes through neurotic song listening binges where for like 3 months I will only listen to one band or even one song. As you can probably tell I am still obsessed with Jay-Z and Marvin Gaye. Naturally like a Miley Cyrus song without Biggie, it gets so overplayed that you want to throw up when you listen to it again. So for me the song should be at a level that no matter how many times I listen to it whenever I hear it again I don't go grasping for the antacids.

As for a second song. I can't say enough about The White Panda. It's like Girl Talk if he let a song play for longer than 9 seconds. Better when through headphones.

That's all I've got. I should get back to work. I just found a clementine in my bag. Today is going to be a good day.

pg chillin,

Bayan
