Songs (List)

Airplanes are increasingly miserable places to be. The discomfort becomes nearly unbearable after a while. I lost it waiting in the airport, and had to find a place on the floor to lie on my coat, and put D's over me, and shut my eyes and slept a while. D's happened on the plane out of Denver. And I was so glad for the christmas bonus five years ago that afforded the ipod. D played the "21 songs that can make me happy, even on a plane." Here they are.

Maine -- John Linnell
I Wanted To Be Alone -- Sam Phillips
Who Do You Love? -- Bo Diddley
I Fought the Law -- The Clash
I Can't Be Satisfied -- Muddy Waters
Jeanette -- The English Beat
Ouvre ton coeur -- Cecilia Bartoli
Holly Like Ivy -- Pete Townshend
After Midnight -- J.J. Cale
Werewolves Of London -- Warren Zevon
Another Thing Goin' -- Jill Sobule & The Brian Woodbury Songbook
Save it For Later -- The English Beat
Rock the Casbah -- The Clash
Holding On To The Earth (New Version) -- Sam Phillips
She's Lost Control -- Joy Division
Hava Nagila -- Dick Dale
Dreaming From The Waist -- The Who
Pablo Picasso -- The Modern Lovers


As he shared many of them with me, tethered by podline, we danced in our tiny space, sitting down, and life got a little better. Our musical tastes are not identical, but I deeply admire his. Unlike one person on PostSecret this week ( "Sorry honey, I hate your taste in music." . ) I also did all four sudoku in the online mag. Well, I was not going to enjoy the movie with Kevin "Waterworld" Costner.

Thing is, very few of these are "happy" songs. They just make D happy, on a airplane in particular.
