Track: As the Sea Holds Creatures Vast and True
Artist: Tommy Guerrero

Comments: I could do anything while listening to this tune and do it with more energy and a happier, poppier attitude.

Book: The two-income trap: why middle-class mothers and fathers are going broke
Author: Elizabeth Warren

Comments: We just decided to eliminate our need for a second income. We'll see how it goes. I hope it becomes the new trend (for selfish reasons and much, much more).

Track: Everything in Its Right Place

Artist: Radiohead

Comments: Nothing to say but yum.

Artist: Tinariwen

Album: Tassili +10:I

Comments: Must be imbibed like water after a long, unnecessary run through a mine field

Track: No Rain

Artist: Blind Melon

Comments: Not your average catchy hit. Great lyrics, great beat, great sing-along/road-trip material. I happened to see Blind Melon in concert just before the lead singer Shannon Hoon died. Kind of creepy, kind of cool. Super glad I saw them live.

Track: Flim (not Film, which is what I originally posted - honest mistake, I guess)
Artist: The Bad Plus

Comment: Another OK tune by these so-so musicians (written with heaviest sarcasm)

Track: Never Stop
Artist: The Bad Plus

Comments: If you're feeling sinister, or not at all sinister, this should perk you right up.
