A few more:
- Big Star - "September Gurls"
- The Who - "Substitute"
- The Kinks - "Picture Book"
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Anyone got any songs that shouldn't be left out?
A instant happy-making song for me on any summer mix is "Acuff-Rose" by Uncle Tupelo, but it will only work if you like the alt. country fiddle thing.
I am making mixes for my b-day party and they are difficult given how little new music I have bought over the past few months. But today - I will buy the new Wilco, Ghost is Born, FINALLY. I am not expecting it to be too mixable, though.
Re: Observer list.
I saw a band last night that listed the Stone Roses as their #1 influence. That seems oddly coincidental.

Takes notes.
I don't know much about the alt. country fiddle thing, but it sounds splendid.

Wow. It turns out I am msbelle! Cherish is one of my #1 summer songs and I had forgotten all about it!
Fly - Sugar Ray
How Bizarre - OMC
These two were on the radio the summer before my senior year, and I worked at a waterpark that played them all the time. Nothing says summer more! I'd throw 'Semi-Charmed Life' in there to complete the circle.

They were on heavy rotation when I drove to LA from NM one summer. Turns out I don't listen to the radio much anymore except when in a car.
Cry Me a River - JT and Beautiful - Christina will always be linked to Ireland with me now because of this.

Tina, it's not too mixable generally, but "Handshake Drugs" would work anywhere.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Oh, yes. And a number of other songs. Including "Scandalous" by Mis-Teeq. Which is finally catching on in the U.S.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
Lilty Cash - "Wipeout." Now I'm gonna have that percussion in my head the rest of the afternoon.
tina f.! Have you seen this Winfield film? Jamming in The Grove - including SLR, PoDank and Wilders. Now I'm all homesick.
SA, Steph, meara! (and any other Melissa Ferrick fans) A woman who works in my building was at the Borders gig in Chicago. She recorded it and is willing to share. Email me at profile addy if interested.
As usual, I'm posting and running. Stoopid work.
