I love it.
THEN MY WORK HERE IS DONE.
you’re amazing and these are all of my favorite songs, like actually. Like ACTUALLY, Almie. my top 13 favorite songs, you listed them here and I’m kinda freaked out.
I like your tumblr a whole lot.
Yep, it’s official. I’m now in love with your blog.
Excellent. Now we can hug forever.
Came home tonight, everyone dead by hanging. Your playlist blaring.
Oh Baby, Baby, Baby, oh my Baby…I love you, I really do. (The Carpenters add xtra tradgedy + 50 points)
SUCCESS!
*ahem* I find this entry to be less gender-specific than the title would imply. Still, artistic license being what it is and all, I’ll just pipe down and offer short commentary:
Henry Nillson’s “Without You” always takes me back to the macabre bathtub scene in “The Rules of Attraction.” Poor gal, James van Der Beek broke her heart. And “Superstar” is one of those songs that got outdone by a future cover (by Sonic Youth).
At any rate, listening to this now. Thank you for making 3am just a little bit lonelier.

Ha! You’re welcome. I never really got Sonic Youth, but they were a little before my time. Then again, so were The Carpenters. But I get The Carpenters.
I never got into SY for the same reason, but I heard that cover many years ago during one of the trailers for “Haute Tension” and was sold on the song. Worth a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y21VecIIdBI

this cover makes me cry HA. <3 thurston moore.
sonic youth is amazing.
my boyfriend dumped me a month and a half ago and i’ll be seeing him at school next week. thanks for this.
There is no way Ashton cheated on Demi, amirite? I mean, who cheats on Demi Moore? No one. Bitch is deadly, like a black widow.
Nice playlist. Could you send me the .zip? Kidding.
I had to download this because “Vienna” is basically my anthem when I feel like my life is falling apart (so basically it’s my entire Wednesday playlist).
HOWEVER, when I tried to actually play this “Vienna” from your generous contribution to Mediafire in iTunes, it told me it belonged to marykgalager@aol.com and I needed a password. “Just kidding” was not the password.
Luckily, it turned out to be a non-issue because I already have it twice, once from The Stranger and once from the 13 Going on 30 soundtrack.
It’s nights like these that I realize why I never have any Friday night plans.
OMG. marykgalager was my first aol email address. I guess that’s also when I first got itunes.
HOW EMBARRASSING. NOW I REALLY NEED TO HANG MYSELF. BRB.
ooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO no baby please don’t go
thank you so much! i love all the songs!
