I was washing windows the other day, and I decided that instead of just listening to albums on my DellPod (which I normally do), I'd make a playlist. I was feeling very "pop radio" new and old school, and just a little crazy, so my playlist came out really insane. Here it is, for the two of you that read this and the one of you (thanks Lacey) that cares:
1.Ace of Bass - Don't Turn Around
2.All-4-One - I Swear
3.Andrea Bocelli feat. Sarah Brightman - Time to Say Goodbye
4.Ben Harper - Waiting for You
5.Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Salvation
6.Blessed Union of Souls - I Believe
7.Boyz II Men - In the Still of the Night
8.Coldplay - Amsterdam
9.The Blower's Daughter - Damien Rice
10.Dashboard Confessional - Don't Wait
11.David Mead - Nashville
12.Dido - Hunter
13.Eminem - My Dad's Gone Crazy
14.Evanescence - Hello
15.Green Day - St. Jimmy
16.Howie Day - Brace Yourself
17.Jack Johnson - Constellations
18.Amos Lee - In the Arms of a Woman
19.Young MC - Bust a Move
20.Aerosmith - Crazy (you know, like this playlist)
Just try it. You know you like that early 90's pre-boyband, with the monologues in the middle of the song. They tackled the issues, man.
Postscript:
Those of you old enough, picture this. You're a record exec 15 years ago, and you throw a party with a chance to sign the artists in #1, 2, 6 and 7. How stoked are you? Would it be a little different today? Would you even keep your job if you sent invitations to the same people? Yowsa.
Busta Move is great window washing music.
And I've been singing Don't Turn Around for days. I'm glad someone else admits listening to Ace of Base.

What's Amos Lee like? I heard his name the other day for the first time.
Amos Lee is mostly acoustic stuff, just a soulful black man and his guitar, with some soft background arrangements. Actually, he uses Norah Jones' band and is under her label. Think a soft, male, introspective Norah.
