This has turned out to be a great deal more fun that I anticipated. (CMG Unite’s readers have amazingly good taste.)

I’m finishing the playlist now and will post it here ASAP. Keep adding songs to the comments as you think of them … I can always make a B side.

I’ll submit a Dylan 3fer as is my wont:

Lay Lady Lay
Girl From the North Country
and perhaps a deeper cut:
Boots of Spanish Leather

yeah, there’s an awfully high correlation between “pretty” and “crying into your rice crispies.”

oops, that’s the statistics book talking. anyway, i submit “easy from now on” by emmylou harris and “it’s gonna be alright” by ween.

now excuse me while i listen to pretty things and weep hopelessly about all that i have ever lost.

Jens Lekman had some really great stuff.

“Black Cab” by Jens Lekman
“Don’t Have to Be Sad” Yo La Tengo
“Bird Stealing Bread” Iron & Wine (and also “Naked As We Came,” but that always makes me cry, so I try not to listen to it very often)

Those are my suggestions just off the top of my head. Pretty pretty, but sort of downers.

‘The Snow Abides’ by Michael Cashmore and Antony.
So beautiful.
