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?)
