wintermusic 2011

so, every season, i make a new playlist. i date it, sort it, file it alphabetically, and listen to it over and over. sometimes, i send people i know and love cd's with the seasonal mixes burned onto them...let me know if you want one.

here's the latest one for winter 2011. these are songs that speak to me, that salve my soul...or save it. these are songs that i laugh and cry to, that i meditate to, that i hear G-d singing along with me in the car. there are explosive harmonies, explicit feelings, and some deep and profound thoughts. there also might be some fart jokes, too. there are covers, and covers of covers; there are brand new songs and songs that were written before my grandparents were born.

you'll know it when you hear it...
