20 songs for the summer

I have a fun tradition of making a mix cd (or 2) at the start of each season. This summer, the tunes are uplifting, full, and light...all at the same time! (And very lovey-dovey, might I add). Oh, the bliss of music's many dimensions.

1. La Nueva Belleza - Jason Mraz (in honor of the Espanol class I'm taking... which I will soon be posting about. Preview: I Love it!)
2. I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
3. Love Love Love - Tristan Prettyman
4. Loving You - Paolo Nutini (This whole album is so fun & uplifting!)
5. Peaceful Easy Feeling - The Eagles
6. By & By - Brett Dennen
7. Mushaboom - Feist
8. Get It While You Can - Janis Joplin
9. On the Radio - Regina Spektor
10. Moving, Shaking - Daniel Lee (Master of Music...didja know? danielleemusic.com; check him out. He's also a beautiful soul)
11. Living Life - Ben Kweller
12. She's Only Happy In the Sun - Ben Harper (beautiful, and seasonally appropriate, but not true for me. i'm really happy in the rain. and you?)
13. Upside Down - Jack Johnson
14. The River of Dreams - Billy Joel
15. For Once In My Life - Stevie Wonder
16. Head Over Feet - Alanis Morissette
17. Ohio - Crosby Stills Nash & Young
18. Find the Cost of Freedom - Crosby Stills Nash & Young (time appropriate...)
19. A Change Is Gonna Come - Otis Redding (another time appropriate one, my heart and hopes believe)
20. Shroud - Ani Difranco (because no mix is complete without this incredible womyn's insight)


You'd think I was in love, or something... which is actually quite funny. I think I'm just finding the love in daily morsels and mistakes. And feeling like some good pop music.

Dance a little today!

paz y amor, amigas.
