“Princess Bride”
Cloud Cult
Aurora Borealis
Every time this is kicked up by shuffle, I have to stop whatever I’m doing. Completely.
“No more rhymes, now, I mean it.”
“Anybody want a peanut?”
“Bad Reputation”
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
Because Joan Jett is my power animal.
“Wombo Lombo”
Angélique Kidjo
And now for something completely unrelated! (Well, I guess the part in Fon could be about the election … but I don’t speak Fon.)
Ani Difranco
“You Had Time”
Out of Range
A very old, sad favorite.
The Brunettes
“If You Were Alien”
If you were alien I’d call you my martian man
Bake banana cake as you drive us through the doom
Of scary asteroids that could smash us all apart
When autopilot’s on we nap an hour or two

Regina Spektor
“On the Radio”
Begin to Hope (2006)
This is how it works: you peer inside yourself
You take the things you like then try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made and stick it into some
Someone else’s heart pumping someone else’s blood
And walking arm in arm, you hope it don’t get harmed
But even if it does you’ll just do it all again
