random tunes for a rainy friday

The good weather was too good to last. Back to rain in the drenched state of MA.

You know the drill, Kids. Set that iPod a-shufflin' and report back the first ten songs it spits out.Here are the goods:

1. stupid (afterglow)--sarah mclachlan
2. easy people (live from northampton)--the nields
3. photograph (all the right reasons)--nickelback
4. the saga begins (weird al live)--weird al yankovic
5. total eclipse of the heart (faster than the speed of night)--bonnie tyler
6. i'll cover you-reprise (original broadway soundtrack)--rent
7. just like that (remembering rachel)--dar williams
8. as cool as i am (mortal city)--dar williams
9. fallen (afterglow)--sarah mclachlan
10. santa fe (original broadway soundtrack)--rent

Bonus Track for KJ (11): thank god i'm a country boy (greatest hits)--john denver

General Thoughts: good mix. i really do like all of these when i'm in the mood for them.

Seen Live: the nields, dar, rent cast

Favorite Song: easy people is the easy and obvious answer, but i really love just like that. though it's a rachel bissex song, the first time i heard dar sing it at frff, i thought it had been written for her to sing. it's beautiful.

Least Favorite Song: santa fe is not my favorite on the rent soundtrack. though i love the staging of it in the movie version!

Memory Trigger: the saga begins (an american pie spoof on star wars...or a star wars spoof on american pie!) reminds me of the summers i spent working with teenagers in PA when i was in college. some of the greatest summers of my life.
