Aww thanks! I just felt a little guilty, because I felt like I was hogging it. But I tried to include everyone's suggestions (man I still can't believe there's no Videotape, WTF).

I also added some Morphine. Because, Morphine. And Boston. And "Cure for Pain" is THE Recovery Song, even if the Sandman supposedly never did a line in his all-too-short life.

Oh, wow. This group is chatty, and we're not supposed to start for a couple of months. I better pop in here more often or else it'll be too much to catch up on.

[Jason, Himself]

Nice job with the Infinite Jest playlist, Moira! I can't wait to listen to it later today.

Awesome selections across the board. So happy to see Mission of Burma in there.

[Marieke]

Indeed, but out of all of those the kinks make me ridiculously happy.


Moira, are these songs not on spotify? If so, that stinks.

[Aloha]

Thank you for the playlist. I'm using Keepvid.com to download the videos into a folder to listen to when I read IJ.

"Cure for Pain"! "Videotape"! ILU, Moira, and your red shoes too.

Aww! Y'all make me blush.

Marieke, I don't know if _all_ these aren't on Spotify - Videotape and Picture Book aren't, which is why I added them here, but then I just kept going and didn't check (also feel a bit self-conscious about not wanting it to be just My Selections on Spotify, heh).

You're welcome! There are some playlists around the internet, too.

Those are THE IJ songs for me, really. Especially Videotape.

[Marieke]

I never heard of keepvid so I want to check that put because I want to copy Aloha AND have the spotify playlist.

Well "Videotape" is on there NOW, heh heh.
