Music For That State I'm In

I believe music to be my main addiction. Thus, there's always a soundtrack around each and everything I do. It's gotten to the point of even when I am not listening to music, there's something playing in my head, constantly.

I was in the metro coming back from my class this morning and I started thinking that, this past week, I've been listening pretty much to the same stuff and that maybe that was the soundtrack to the state I'm in right now. So I figure I'd make a list of albums and songs that are of particular meaning to me at the moment.

Let's start with the albums. For clarity, it's always the name of the artist/band first and then the piece second.

Albums (in no particular order)

• Blonde Redhead - Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons
• Morcheeba - Big Calm
• Yo La Tengo - Summer Sun [particularly excellent when it's raining outside]
• Lali Puna - Faking The Books
• Moby - Hotel
• Coldplay - X&Y [and, more importantly, the following songs: Fix You, A Message, The Hardest Part, Swallowed In The Sea]
• Autour de Lucie - L'échappée belle
• Frou Frou - Details
• Julieta Venegas - Bueninvento
• Bugge Wesseltoft - Moving [more importantly, the song: Yellow Is The Colour]
