these songs are true these days are ours these tears are free

I had an extremely difficult weekend -- blah blah hard hard, everyone's fine, not interested in talking about it, I'm fine too -- but the coffeeshop has been playing Paul Simon all morning and it helps a lot. They played Hearts and Bones, then Graceland, and now Rhythm of the Saints and I think, you know, I am just about always in the mood for this

Either of The Cat Empire's first two albums.

Momentary Lapse of Reason by Pink Floyd.

(an aside: They played Graceland at the breakfast place on Wednesday after my car was broken into, and it helped, a LOT. Glad it's helping you.)

Falling backward into velvet night, oh, the open arms of desire...

Yeah.

I'm almost always in the mood for The Best of the Gipsy Kings.

Always-always? Negotiations and Love Songs. Daniel Lanois' Acadie. Tom Waits' The Heart of Saturday Night. Ottmar Liebert's In the Arms of Love. Kris Delmhorst's Shotgun Singer.

Then there's the almost-always category, which is slightly larger but not much.

Any of three:

1) Out Of The Blue, ELO.
2) Heights, Eskju Divine.
3) Showbiz, Muse.
