music makes the people

if there were justice, here's what would by my mix tape today (you'll probably recognize a few). in no particular order:

bang on!-propellorheads

our love-rhett miller

firecracker-ryan adams

dancing undercover-john cale

c'mon people-richard ashcroft

charm attack-leona naess

tmw-two chicks and a casio (because, goddammit, i AM tmw. for anyone, it would seem)

someone to call my lover-janet jackson

heart and shoulder-heather nova

sexual revolution-macy gray

saints and sailors-dashboard confessional

pills and soap-elvis costello

new-no doubt

scary-bjork

lady marmalade-all saints (butchery, to be sure. love it.)

...and i just realized that jimmy eat world's bleed american is my summer album for this year. that's odd, considering i didn't own it until september, and didn't have MTV and as such managed to escape its apparent omnipresence therein.

it's funny...i've been thinking about music as a seasonal thing quite a bit of late. just last night i was chattering about how fleetwood mac is very wintry music for me. i need to be wearing a wool sweater to appreciate it properly. nelly furtado (in those rare moments that i can stomach her) is definitely all about the late spring/early summer. ani difranco? definitely autumn. definitely. especially not a pretty girl and living in clip. madonna's ray of light is totally summer.

man. now that i've thought about this, it's going to be on my mind forever. oh well. at least now i have a new way to organize my cd's, i suppose.
