Or perhaps the "iTunes thinks I need to listen to more Ani" edition. Or the "The last two tracks get kind of dirty" edition.
1.
Stockton Gala Days, 10,000 Maniacs
2.
River, Sarah McLachlan
Yes, this one's from the Christmas album. Yes, I'm listening to it in August.
3.
The Four Seasons, "La Primavera": II. Largo
It's a classical music cliché, but
The Four Seasons is my favorite symphony. My favorite movement is the largo from "Winter" ("L'inverno").
4.
When I'm Up, Great Big Sea
5.
Subconscious, Ani DiFranco
6.
Reckoning, Ani DiFranco
"cuz what happened always adjusts to fit / what happened after that" ... oh, yeah.
7.
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Indigo Girls
8.
Dragon, Tori Amos
9.
Let's Just Get Naked, Joan Osborne
10.
The Sour Grove, Mediaeval Baebes
Yeah,
this one's dirty. (Link goes to the English translation of the full poem on which this song is based. It's an ode to the female genitalia. Here's the
original Welsh.)
