This is for Jason<\/a>. I am getting ready to take off on my long-anticipated trip on Friday and have had a busy week where I managed to go to the beach 3 times already. Which means an ongoing iPod shuffle. Music has been helping me work these days. Gearing up for the week of hard work ahead. <\/p>\n

“Five Steps” – The Davenports. So sweetly melancholy. Ouch.<\/p>\n

“Workin’ Real Hard” – Pat McCurdy. Hey, Pat. You’re showing up early. I’m sure you’ll show up again.<\/p>\n

“The Five-Fifteen” – Christine Ebersole et al in The Grey Gardens<\/i>, Broadway cast recording<\/p>\n

“Love’s In Need of Love Today” – Stevie Wonder. J’adore.<\/p>\n

“God Won’t Get You” – Dolly Parton. She’s so perfect.<\/p>\n

“Summertime Blues” – Eddie Cochran. This reminds me of my old friend Ken Mottet, who used to perform this with Pat McCurdy (see above). He also was in the crowd in same Huey Lewis video<\/a> I was. Total coincidence – we waved at each other from our respective scaffolds.<\/p>\n

“Good Golly Miss Molly” – Jerry Lee Lewis. Maniac.<\/p>\n

“Love Is a Battlefield” – Pat Benatar. Oh hell yes.<\/p>\n

“Happiness” – Elliott Smith. His music hurts me. You can feel his despair. <\/p>\n

“I’m Not Afraid” – Pat McCurdy<\/p>\n

“Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk” – Rufus Wainwright<\/p>\n

“The Revolutionary Costume for Today” – Christine Ebersole in Grey Gardens<\/i> (as “Little Edie”)<\/p>\n

“I Don’t Want to Know” – the cast of Glee<\/i> covering the Fleetwood Mac song<\/p>\n

“One Man’s Ceiling Is Another Man’s Floor” – Paul Simon. Love this song.<\/p>\n

“Look at Little Sister” – Stevie Ray Vaughn. Hot.<\/p>\n

“One of God’s Better People” – Robbie Williams<\/p>\n

“Whatsername” – Green Day. You know I forget about how much I love this song. I over-listened to it when the album first came out.<\/p>\n

“The Story of Chess” – Marti Pellow, from Chess in Concert<\/i><\/p>\n

“Christmas Is the Time To Say I Love You” – SR-71. Okay, this shuffle is officially weird and awesome.<\/p>\n

“Polythene Pam” – The Beatles<\/p>\n

“Second Honeymoon” – Pat McCurdy. Good song.<\/p>\n

“The Way I Are” – Timbaland, feat. Keri Hilson & D.O.E.<\/p>\n

“Love Has Brought Me Around” – James Taylor. Good for you, JT. It hasn’t brought ME around, but whatever, I’m happy for you.<\/p>\n

“Free at Last” – the showstopper sung by Jim in Big River<\/i><\/p>\n

“Send a Picture of Mother” – Johnny Cash<\/p>\n

“This Can’t Be My Life” – Ruth Gerson. I love her voice, and her songs. I have Siobhan to thank me for introducing me to her. This song reminds me of Aimee Mann’s best songs.<\/p>\n

“All Thumbs” – Tracy Bonham<\/p>\n

“Life Story” – Lynne Wintersteller, from Closer Than Ever<\/i>. The song is too powerful for me to listen to. It can open up a crack and I’d really prefer that not to occur.<\/p>\n

“Kisses” – Tracy Bonham. I love her.<\/p>\n

“Riverdance” – Bill Whelan<\/p>\n

“Symphony No. 1 in C Major, Op. 21: IV. Finale: Adagio – Allegro Molto e Vivace” – Beethoven – London Symphony Orchestra<\/p>\n

“Crazy Maze” – Des’ree – what ever happened to her? This is a wonderful album.<\/p>\n

“The Whole Shebang” – Grant Lee Buffalo<\/p>\n

“Crucify” – Tori Amos. This is a wonderful song, but I honestly listened to this album one too many times back in 1992. I just can’t listen to it any more.<\/p>\n

“The Air Near My Fingers” – The White Stripes. R.I.P. White Stripes.<\/p>\n

“Womanizer” – Britney Spears. Go, Britney. You’re a shell of a person and I’ve got your back.<\/p>\n

“(My My) Baby’s Gonna Cry” – Eurhythmics – love it.<\/p>\n

“Unchain My Heart” – Ray Charles<\/p>\n

“Hello My Treacherous Friends” – Ok Go. I was into them before that first treadmill video went viral. <\/p>\n

“Can’t You See That I’m In Love With You?” – Pat McCurdy. Yes.<\/p>\n

“White As Snow” – U2<\/p>\n

“Kiss Me Deadly” – Lita Ford. This girl can sing, dammit.<\/p>\n

“Baby I Apologize” – ELO<\/p>\n

“Strong” – Robbie Williams. May be my favorite of his songs.<\/p>\n

“You’re All I Need To Get By” – Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell (one of my favorite songs of all time)<\/p>\n

“Come and Get Me” – Timbaland, feat. 50 Cent & Tony Yayo. So freakin’ catchy.<\/p>\n

“The Blower’s Daughter” – Scala & Kolacny Brothers<\/p>\n

“Sisters” – The Puppini Sisters – covering the song from White Christmas<\/i><\/p>\n

“Montreal -40C” – Malajube. I think I heard this song playing in a commercial, sought it out, and bought it. I do that often. Found a lot of good unknown (to me, anyway) bands that way. <\/p>\n

“The Long Black Veil” – Johnny Cash. Lots of Johnny Cash in this shuffle! And all from the same album!<\/p>\n

“Overture” – to Jesus Christ Superstar<\/i><\/p>\n

“The Tears of a Clown” – Smokey Robinson and the Miracles<\/p>\n

“Do I Move You?” – Nina Simone. Smokin’. Jesus, she’s hot.<\/p>\n

“Thriller \/ Heads Will Roll” – cast of Glee<\/i><\/p>\n

“Son Of a Gun” – Nirvana<\/p>\n

“Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite” – The Beatles. Weird. Brilliant.<\/p>\n

“Icky Thump” – The White Stripes<\/p>\n

“In My Life” – The Beatles. Heartcrack.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Bojangles” – Robbie Williams<\/p>\n

“Mannequin” – Katy Perry. I’m not sure why I own this song. I don’t particularly enjoy it.<\/p>\n

“Mexican Seafood” – Nirvana<\/p>\n

“Across the Universe” – Jim Sturgess, from Across the Universe<\/i>, Julie Taymor’s movie<\/p>\n
