So for the last little while I've been listening to slightly harder music than usual - My Chemical Romance, Foo Fighters, etc. (Perusal of my iPod reveals that most of my music is still pretty chill, but I thought I was a little more punk than usual.) Anyway, this morning I'm trying to study and find myself becoming more interested in the acoustic music I'm listening to than anything else (say, studying.) So here it is, in no particular order (for example, Nick Drake and Alexi Murdoch should be more separated, because they are pretty much the same. But not.)1)"Woke Up New" - The Mountain Goats
2)"Cathedrals" - Jump Little Children
3)"Honey and the Moon" - Joseph Arthur
4)"The Fear You Won't Fall" - Joshua Radin
5)"Travelin' Song" - Jackie Greene
6)"Hannah Hold On" - The Get Up Kids
7)"Valley Winter Song" - Fountains of Wayne
8)"Pretty (Ugly Before) - Elliot Smith (This may be one of my favorite songs of all time)
9)"Lizzy" - Ben Kweller
10)"Breakdown" - Jack Johnson
11)"First Day of My Life" - Bright Eyes
12)"Cello Song" - Nick Drake
13)"Delicate" - Damien Rice
14)"Orange Sky" - Alexi Murdoch
15)"End of May" - The Actual Tigers
16)"New American Classic" - Taking Back Sunday
17)"Love is Everywhere" - Bob Schneider
18)"Just Getting By" - Catie Curtis
19)"Eye of the Hurricane" - David Wilcox
20)"Blue" - The Jayhawks
21)"Hallelujah" - Jeff Buckley
22)"When the Ice Goes Out" - John Gorka
23)"Comfortable" - John Mayer
24)"On Your Porch" - The Format (Snails EP version)
25)"Oh My Sweet Carolina" - Ryan Adams
That's it for now - no thematic similarities, just sound, sort of. Lots of old favorites here. Mmm...

My absolute favorite music to get lost in is my pure touch CD. I compiled a play list that is strictly classical. I really do love how easy it is for me to listen to and enjoy just the music. I like not having lyrics to tell me what the song is about and being able to apply the same song for different moments.
I love your acoustic play list by the way. I also love that you share these so I can have them on my ipod.
Megan, I envy your diverse musical education. Seriously, you need to get me off musicals and onto something that is more accepted in society, or just in the society that most of my peers will be in.
