I paid my $20 to Steve Jobs this past weekend - as if Apple's pockets are not stuffed like teddy bears already. Anyhow, here are the twenty songs I selected. Oh, briefly, a word about them: I didn't get much feedback from all of you ... huurruumph. A friend from Los Angeles had given Anna a heads up about a cool artist named Regina Spektor ... that was great advice. Her two songs are my favorite on the cd. The rest of the songs came from hearing one song on "Lost": Joe Purdy's Wash Away (end of episode 3 of Season 1). I decided to go with the folksy, alternative stuff. So, again, here I go ...
1. Fidelity by Regina Spektor
2. On the Radio by Regina Spektor
3. Gotta Have You by The Weepies
4. The New Love Song by Joshua James
5. Today by Joshua James
6. Wash Away (reprise) by Joe Purdy

9. Laughing Man by Joe Purdy
10. Why You by Joe Purdy
11. Colors by Amos Lee
12. The Guy That Says Goodbye to You Is Out of His Mind by Griffin House
13. Never Again by Griffin House
14. Come On! Feel the Illinoise!, Pt. I: The World's Columbian Exposition / Pt. II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me In a Dream by Sufjan Stevens

A & W --
Soo good to see you all in Indiana this summer. My frantic travels to and from Ohio botched the last of it, I know, but still. What good times. What a cool dude that Wyatt is.
Also, I'm glad to see you rocking the Sufjan, Wes. He's spot-on.
I am in Ohio, painting porches and building mobile chicken coops. You guys should come over and hang out with the Quakers.
God Bless i-tunes. You do not know me, nor I you, but apparently we share a love for "The Freedom of Simplicity" by Foster and music. And really, is there much more than that?
Judging by this list of well-downloaded music, you owe it to yourself to know of these:
1) Brandi Carlile
2) The Hush Sound
3)Snow Patrol
And as there is always more good music to download than dollars to spend, this is the short list.
You, my friends, have good taste in books and music. Cheers.
I forgot to mention Lost as well. We have Richard Foster, music and Lost in common. Maybe Kentucky isn't as far from Los Angeles as I thought?
Miguel,
Having moved here from Pasadena about a year ago, please know that yes, Kentucky IS about as far away from LA as you can get. For better or worse...thanks for the music suggestions!
