The Playlist
I get a lot of work done when the phones aren’t ringing (like 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. yesterday/today and probably tonight). With 30 trials scheduled for March/April, typical legislative issues and lingering session issues, and soccer and baseball teams to be coached, the wee hours and I have been far too chummy this Spring. The goal was to survive until the end of April, and the good news is that we’re almost there. I hope to put some polish on a few things in May and, then, to sleep the entire month of June.
For what its worth, here are some newly-discovered and newly-remembered artists and sample songs that made the playlist from Pandora playing in the background during those wee hours. Because I’d grown thoroughly bored of my music collection, it has been fun to find some new sounds. I look forward to checking them out further during my few waking hours in June.
Golden Birds -- New Year’s Eve
The Incredible String -- First Girl I Loved
Jolie Holland -- The Littlest Birds
U. Utah Phillips -- The Telling Takes Me Home
Elliott Smith -- Let’s Get Lost
Ani Difranco -- Swim
The Great Unknowns -- Abilene
Bright Eyes -- First Day of My Life
Willie Mason -- Oxygen
We All Together -- It’s a Sin to Go Away
Sean Hayes -- 33 Fool
Dispatch -- Outloud
Joanna Newsom -- Peach, Plum, Pear
Eef Barzelay -- Ballad of Bitter Honey
Destroyer -- Goddess of Drought
The Mountain Firework Co. -- The Exit’s at the Back
The Bottle Rockets -- Smokin’ 100’s Alone
Pete Krebs -- Horsepower Daydreams
Rick Nelson -- Love Story
John Frusciante -- The Past Recedes
Jude -- You and Me

Steve, i love pandora, here's my playlist - it's mostly harder stuff, but good nonetheless.
jared's playlist
If you're looking for some "new sounds," you should also check out my music blog, with descriptions, photos and links to songs: Musica Obscura.
Looking at your playlist, I think you might find some things you'll like on my blog. ENJOY!
Thank you both. I'll do some listening. J.R., I had absolutely no idea you were such a metalhead. That floors me. Have Liz post her playlist.
i'll have liz post her playlist up, but i'm pretty sure it's going to consist of one artist: sufjan stevens. a super-distant second would be the Shins.
Never heard of the Shins. A lot of the stuff I like comes from a station of Sufjan Stevens, Richie Havens, and Golden Birds.
Shins are good; I recommend them.
Finally! Some useful info from this blog! Thanks for the intro to Pandora. We're loving it.

Tom,
If you someday add more than just the Weird Al station, that baby will really hum.
