Anonymous weekly reader, who are you?



I've been obsessed with my "The Early Years: 1996-1998" soundtrack lately. I was working on compiling all these songs and making them into a cd, except now it's gotten out of control, and will probably end up being a 3-volume cd set... so have patience Elissa, your copy is coming.



Here are the songs I have so far:

1. Backwater, The Meat Puppets
2. Buddy Holly, Weezer
3. Mighty K.C., For Squirrels
4. What's the Frequency, Kenneth?, R.E.M.
5. Far Behind, Candlebox
6. Lump, Presidents of the U.S.A.
7. Kitty, Presidents of the U.S.A.
8. Peaches, Presidents of the U.S.A.
9. Friends of P., The Rentals
10. Undone (The Sweater Song), Weezer
11. Say it Ain't So, Weezer
12. Mother, Mother, Tracey Bonham
13. Cumbersome, 7 Mary 3
14. everything zen, Bush
15. Glycerine, Bush
16. Comedown, Bush
17. Dumb, Nirvana
18. Lake of Fire, Nirvana
19. Man Who Sold the World, Nirvana
20. Hook, Blues Traveler
21. One Week, Barenaked Ladies (this one's purely for Elissa)
22. Greedy Fly, Bush
23. Yellow Ledbetter, Pearl Jam
24. Fell On Black Days, Soundgarden
25. Sick of Myself, Matthew Sweet
26. Banditos, The Replacements
27. I Hate My Generation, Cracker
28. In the Meantime, Spacehog
29. The Freshman, The Verve Pipe
30. Interstate Love Song, Stone Temple Pilots
31. Love Roller Coaster, Red Hot Chili Peppers
32. Trigger Happy Jack, Poe
33. Today, Smashing Pumpkins
34. Perfect, Smashing Pumpkins
35. The Sweetest Thing, U2
36. King of the Kerb, Echobelly
37. Somebody's Crying, Chris Isaak

I still have to put all of these in sequential order, and I'm also sure I'm missing a bunch. It's not going to be the most complete inventory of songs, but the songs I decide on will define my youth. ha. well.

Oh wait, and then there's that wierd kick I went on with Rachel in 7th grade--infatuation music. More specifically, Nathan Cornett infatuation music.

1. Strawberry Wine, Deana Carter
2. When You Say Nothing At All, Alison Krauss
3. Baby, Now That I've Found You, Alison Krauss
4. Shake The Sugar Tree, Pam Tillis

Yeah, come to think of it, nothing much came out of that infatuation except embarassment.

Ok so, the delayed big news: Aaron and I got engaged over Christmas! Yeah pretty much everyone who reads this already knows, so this is pretty much just for the record.

"I taste your breath in my veins / like waves, vibrations / It's coming up again / Let me climb inside you / Caress your fevered tongue / Spread my wings around you / And we can slide..."

-- Echobelly, "Nobody Like You"

P.S. I'm dying of busydom.
