My Music (Redux)

Remember when I used to post my "Top 25 Most Played" list from iTunes for everyone?  Remember how I stopped because it never changed much?  Then remember how I got a new laptop with new iTunes and could start from scratch with everything?  So without further ado, I give you my new list of the stuff I've listened to the most lately (or since I bought my laptop in April):

  1. "Hold On" (Mary Beth Maziarz)
  2. "Thursday" (Asobi Seksu)
  3. "C'est la Mort" (The Civil Wars)
  4. "Poison and Wine" (The Civil Wars)
  5. "Shake It Out" (Florence and the Machine)
  6. "21 Guns" (Original Broadway Cast of American Idiot)
  7. "Scientists" (Jeremy Messersmith)
  8. "Cathedrals" (Jump, Little Children)
  9. "Homeward Bound" (BYU Singers and BYU Concert Choir)
  10. "I Want You Back" (The Civil Wars)
  11. "My Love" (Irie Love)*
  12. "Organ Donor" (Jeremy Messersmith)
  13. "The Call" (Regina Spektor)
  14. "Gravity" (Sarah Bareilles)
  15. "Falling" (The Civil Wars)
  16. "Across the Universe" (Fiona Apple)**
  17. "Falling Slowly" (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova)
  18. "Toussaint Grey, First In Life and Death" (Jeremy Messersmith)
  19. "Knots" (Jeremy Messersmith)
  20. "A Girl, A Boy, and a Graveyard" (Jeremy Messersmith)
  21. "We Get On" (Kate Nash)
  22. "Skeleton Song" (Kate Nash)
  23. "Fade Into You" (Mazzy Star)
  24. "Timshel" (Mumford & Sons)
  25. "Come Home" (One Republic)
Again, I'm not ashamed of any of these songs!  As you may be able to tell, I discovered The Civil Wars recently.  I'm in love.  Also, I've definitely been in a very Jeremy Messersmith mood lately, but I defy you to find anyone with better death songs.



*Yeah, we listen to reggae in Hawaii.
**Yes, Laura, another Beatles cover that you'll probably hate.

    The only Beatles cover that has ever been any good (other than covers of Beatles songs by the Beatles themselves...obviously...) is the Mamas and the Papas version of "I Call Your Name." I stand by that 100%, and I remain loyal to the original fab four always.* The End.

    *but I guess people who are less devoted can like covers. It just means they have poor taste in music :)

      To be fair, I heard the Fiona Apple version before I heard the Beatles version. They play it at the end of the movie "Pleasantville." And other than the fact that it's being sung by Fiona Apple, it doesn't sound too drastically different from the original.
