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

1776.

Ack! I was beginning to think I was the only one who loved that movie!

Soul II Soul - Keep on Movin'
Lloyd Cole - Bad Vibes
Ani Difranco - Puddle Dive
Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill
Manu Chao - Clandestino
Milla - The Divine Comedy
Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet

I think I will go listen to Clandestino right now.

The 'Urinetown' soundtrack. Which totally shouldn't work since it's such an utterly depressing story, but as one of the characters complains to the meta-narrator "the music's so happy!"

Ha, that is awesome music. The few songs I know, anyway.

Man, I don't know that I'm always in the mood for anything, but I am often in the mood for my "happy" playlist, and I am usually a sucker for synthpop (Information Society, say, or Echoing Green or something like that).

Oooh, and sexy German basses. Is anyone ever not in the mood for sexy German basses?

Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints, definitely.
Shaking the Tree by Peter Gabriel.
Tracy Chapman.

I'm sure there are others I'm not thinking of right now!
