Something like that

I’m devising a playlist…

…dedicated to awesomeness in music. It goes something like this:

Cold War-Janelle Monae

The Dream-Rufus Wainwright

Creep-Amanda Palmer (Radiohead cover)

Jocasta-Noah and the Whale

Pink Bullets-The Shins

Alive-Goldfrapp (For the disco-tastic vampiric absurdity of the music video alone.)

For No One-The Beatles

Wooden Arms-Patrick Watson

Make It Rain-Tom Waits

Elevator Music-Beck

High, Wide & Handsome-Loudon Wainwright III (Charlie Poole cover)

Mr. Hurricane-Beast (IF THERE IS ONE THING TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS LIST YOU’RE PROBABLY IGNORING, IT IS THIS. Gold.)

***Special Thanks goes out to Simon and Garfunkel for your Live from New York City, 1967 (because THAT’S great music, too). Also to Girl Talk for ALL DAY (When did you get coherent?)
