Come on, Spring!

Blogger is doing something crazy with the blog that my best friend Cate and I keep together. I'm a little concerned. I hope all of our entries of comedic genius and brilliance have been preserved in whatever disaster has befallen blogger.com.

Anyhow, it's about time for another playlist. I want Spring so badly that I have already stopped wearing my winter coat (despite snow and ice) and I've been listening to my upbeat sunshine music. So, I'm willing Spring to come with my mind powers. It's going to work. Spring will get here. Eventually.

Come on, Spring!

I'm feeling a little bit sassy at the moment. Here are a bunch of good songs. I don't have to tell anyone what they all have in common. I said in the beginning that this blog was a way for me to organize my music, right? Well, this is how I want to organize it.

So there it is. It's a little longer than most of my other playlists... but the songs are good and finding them & making the playlist was therapeutic for me. I do what I want.

Winter 2009

I know I just posted one within the hour, but it was kind of a cheap cop out. I'll leave it up because, man, those songs are good. However, I'm rescinding it as this week's playlist. Instead, how about this beautiful, mellow playlist that I have creatively decided to title "Winter, 2009." I tend to make a couple of different playlists that reflect the music that I like to listen to in the various seasons.

So, these songs reflect the type of music that I have been into this winter. I typically mellow out for the Fall & Winter.Then, when the sun starts to shine & the temperature starts to warm, I get a littler peppier and more upbeat.
