By the way...

Purchased the first Christmas album of the year today. October 24. Now it REALLY feels like fall.

All signs to the contrary, I am not dead nor have I completely given up on this blog...I blame facebook and my children. And maybe glee.

I have continued to make mixtapes, so I'll post playlists in order from my most recent mix.

soft curve in your hardline

October 2011

Can't Stop / MoZella: featured on an episode of Castle, season 2. Delightful showcase for Nathan Fillion.

You've Got the Makings of a Lover / Mayer Hawthorne: looks like Buddy Holly. Sounds like old-school Stax Records of the 60's and 70's.

Who Will Comfort Me / Melody Gardot

Parachute (Acoustic Version) / Ingrid Michaelson: because this version is even better than the original recording. There are about 30 YouTube video versions of this song live - watch a few.

All Day and All of the Night / The Kinks: heard this at a roller derby bout in Oakland in August, then about once a week in random places until I finally put it on a mix.

Not Foolin' Around Tonight / Butterfly Boucher

Double Trouble / Jack and White: kinda like She & Him.

King of Diamonds / Motopony: groovy...

Wonderful (The Way I Feel) / My Morning Jacket: very sweet.

Song for Lovers / Ellery

Home / Matthew Perryman Jones

Hardliners / Holcombe Waller: light and ethereal, really sticks with you.

A Love Story / Thomas Dybdahl: free download from Starbucks wifi, no telling where terrific things will come from...from where terrific things will come?

On A Day Just Like Today / Gabe Dixon

Free My Mind / Katie Herzig

Queen of (K)nots / Matt Nathanson

I'll Be Waiting / Adele: is it bad that I thank the asshole who broke Adele's heart on a daily basis?

Just Fine / Mary J. Blige: tiny bit of a guilty pleasure, from Jazzercise - great message (so I like what I see when I'm lookin' at me / when I'm walking past the mirror).

Don't Blame the World, It's the DJ's Fault / Cobra Starship: fun and fabulous.
