ok, i'll start: 12 songs i've been listening to recently
12. phil ochs, "draft dodger rag"
11. cake, "no phone'
10. nellie mckay, "sari" (teen angst with an arty twist, and at least the chick's got lyrics that doesn't rely entirely on a 6 year old's vocabulary)
9. bob dylan, "masters of war"
8. leonard cohen, "the partisan"
7. new bad things, "i suck"
6. bruce springsteen, "born in the usa"
5. bob dylan, "hard rain"
4. janis joplin, "me and bobby mcgee" (because it reminds me of being 16 in the summer time and running around backyard pools and smoking a lot of weed and hanging out at the 7-eleven and Tower records. i need the nostalgia right now.)
3. tom petty, "american girl"
2. bitch and animal, "traffic." b/c i feel like i've been run over in traffic...
1. phil ochs, "love me i'm a liberal" and the doors, "the end" (the latter usually when in an alcohol and tranquilizer induced catatonic state).
