"But in the meantime we've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay"

Mushaboom - Feist

I downloaded so much music the other day when I went home sick (damn cough won't quit.) I wanted to hear it all, all the time...it's like I'm ready to abandon all other music I've ever taken interest in until I am tired of these songs.

Thank you, iTunes, for making me a 50 song Genius mix.

I wish I could make Genius mixes for everything in my life. 

*Push a button on my closet door (like Cher in Clueless) and voila ! (wa la?) a genius outfit for every day made up of things I already own.

*Hungry for dinner? Don't know what to make? Genius mix of what ingredients are in the fridge. 

*Bored and lonely? Bam - genius mix of the best friends to have around in a snap.

Anyway, here are the albums from whence the genius came. You should listen to these too. It's based on "Kids" by MGMT.
