the sun

had i not had to work today would have been the best.

today was that kind of first truly spring day, it was warm and sunny and happy. its the kind of day that makes me want to avoid all work and spend all day on my porch. today i was reminded what the sun looks like, the actual sun. not that bright spot behind the endless clouds that only appears are the really nice days of the dreaded buffalo winter. i got to enjoy this day in an office with no windows. i spent the entire day trying, and failing miserably to create a work schedule for my fellow employees. but to make up for it i came home and made my self a spring themed mix instead of writing the eight page paper due this thursday. the mix makes me happy, the paper does not. the mix is full of all the songs on want to listen to on a day like today, with all my windows down and my car tape deck turn all the way up.

the mix is as follows:
1. "liza jane" the apples in stereo
2. "fists up" the blow
3. "wagon wheel" old crow medicine show
4. "blister in the sun" violent femmes
5. "stop whispering" radiohead
6. "noah's ark" cocorosie
7. "evening on the ground" iron and wine
8. "love is an arrow" aberfly
9. "new soul" yael naim
10. "goodness gracious me" peter sellers and sophia loren
11. "waterfall" the stone roses
12. "dance tonight" paul mccartney
13. "right moves" josh ritter
14. "puppy love" peggy honeywell
15. "all i want is you" barry louis polisar
16. "the sidewinder sleeps tonight" r.e.m.
17. "johnny two bands" vincent vincent and the villains
18. "mad mrs leroy brown" loretta lynn
19. "my coco" stellastarr
