  • The Eyes Have It

    29. Mai. 2008, 15:00

    Tomorrow I will have lasik surgery on my eyes. No more glasses. No more contacts. It’s so exciting! I figured this was a good opportunity to indulge my fondness for making theme playlists...is this weird or do other people do it, as well? Anyway, there are 50 songs in my iTunes library with "Eyes", "Sight" or "See/Seeing" in the title. Here are just a few of my faves.

    Hothouse Flowers – Eyes Wide Open
    Jackson Browne – Doctor My Eyes
    Eisley – Telescope Eyes
    Eisley – A Sight To Behold
    The Apples in Stereo – Open Eyes
    Maria McKee – My Lonely Sad Eyes
    The Reivers – Without My Sight
    Bryan Ferry – Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
    Depeche Mode – World In My Eyes
    Peter Gabriel – In Your Eyes
    Simple Minds – See The Lights
    Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs – I See The Rain (serves double duty in my “Rain” playlist)

    There are many more, but I do have to get some sleep tonight:) Also several of my faves don’t have tracks available on last.fm. If you have some fantastic “Eye” songs, let me know about 'em.

  • A Thousand Fiery Sun Songs

    1. Mär. 2008, 15:38

    OK, OK. Maybe just a dozen

    Another weather related list…February is supposed to be the dry season, but it’s been the wettest dry season I’ve experienced since living in Thailand. Could be global warming:-) I thought I’d break out the sun list and maybe coax the weather back on the right path.

    These are just a few favorite sun songs from my iTunes library.

    The Beatles – Here Comes the Sun
    The Beatles – Good Day Sunshine
    The Apples in Stereo – Sun Is Out
    Ednaswap – Back on the Sun
    Hoodoo Gurus – Place in the Sun
    The Kinks – Love Me Till The Sun Shines
    Matthew Sweet – Looking At The Sun
    Poi Dog Pondering – CIRCLE AROUND THE SUN
    Prince – Play in the Sunshine
    Semisonic – Sunshine And Chocolate
    Vanessa Daou – Waiting for the Sun to Rise
    Violent Femmes – Blister in the Sun

    There’s tons more sun songs out there. Let me know some of your favorites…

  • Wednesday's Child Wears Green

    6. Dez. 2007, 13:47

    Here in Thailand each day of the week is assigned a different color. Many people consider the color of their day of birth their lucky color. For example, I was born on a Thursday, so my “lucky color” is orange. You can find out what day of the week you were born here.

    The King of Thailand was born on a Monday and for the last couple of years many, many Thais have worn a bright yellow shirt every Monday to celebrate his 60th anniversary on the throne and his 80th birthday.

    Birthday Colors*:

    Sunday – Red I See Red
    Monday – Yellow Yellow Moon
    Tuesday – Pink Pretty In Pink
    Wednesday – Green Green
    Thursday – Orange Orange Crush
    Friday – Blue This Blue Hour
    Saturday – Purple Purple Haze

    *All "color tracks" from my iTunes library. I’m kinda surprised I had all of them.

  • A Science Geek's Playlist

    18. Nov. 2007, 12:30

    sallysaurus recently journaled about her motivational playlist for writing. I’m not a writer, by any means, but I (sort of) jokingly commented that I should create a playlist for the laboratory with the first song being Thomas Dolby’s She Blinded Me With Science. Well, Sally came back with some great suggestions for the list...a couple actually about real science! I knew I wouldn’t be able to find many more (or any) “science songs”, but I kept an eye open for songs with a science related title. It’s been a fun exercise and I’ve discovered a couple of new artists that I like. Here’s the list so far:

    Thomas Dolby – She Blinded Me With Science
    Tom Lehrer – The Elements
    Kate & Anna McGarrigle – NaCl (Sodium Chloride)
    Oingo Boingo – Weird Science
    Freezepop – Science Genius Girl
    A Camp – Algebra
    Bird York – Strange Chemistry
    Rilo Kiley – Science vs. Romance
    Semisonic - Chemistry
    The Grates – Science Is Golden
    Cloud Cult – Chemicals Collide
    The Purrs – She’s Got Chemicals

    I’m sure there’s so many more out there – just let me know!

  • It's the Rain

    13. Okt. 2007, 2:19

    tomservotunes recently asked me what season it was in Thailand. Right now, it's the end of the rainy season and that inspired me to look up all the songs in my iTunes library that have Rain in the title. Wouldn't it be great if iTunes could search lyrics, also?

    I had 44 "Rain" songs. Oddly enough, in some sort of cosmic symmetry, I also had 44 songs with Sun in the title. Wonder what's the statistical probability of that happening?

    Here are a few of my favorite "Rain" songs (from my iTunes library).
    Of course, being from Louisiana, I have to include When the Levee Breaks. It doesn't have Rain in the title, but it's definitely about the rain. Most of the other songs use rain as a simile or metaphor, but I'm not picky.

    Still Rainin'
    Feels Like Rain
    It Ain't the Wind (on my CD this song is "It Ain't the Wind, It's the Rain")
    Only Happy When It Rains
    Pouring Rain
    Rain Falls Down
    No Rain
    English Summer Rain
    Life In Rain
    Ballet for a Rainy Day
    Rain
    Falling Like Rain
    A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall


    What other great "rain" songs are out there?
