Dear *****,


What kind of music are you listening to lately? Let’s duel musical tastes!! I just downloaded the band, The Organ, song: “Brother” which inspired this email! I really like Broken Social Scenes and Magnetic Fields, you dig it? Email me back what you like, actual songs that arn’t terribly annoying, I guarantee I’m as busy as you but I still emailed you!

Hey,
What I meant to proposal was for you to compile a list of songs you particularly like, I’ll do the same and we’ll switch. Then you HAVE TO download the songs, so we can inform each others musical taste, rather then duel. I was just excited. I’m making mine for you to send off on a later date.

All right little sister. You definitely caught me at a vulnerable time, half way through writing an essay, and checking my email out of boredom. Yes I like Broken Social Scene. I don’t think I’ve heard Magnetic Fields. So. I don’t really pick and choose mixes anymore, much preferring the holistic complete album listen through experience, but I will indulge here. This isn’t my uber list of all time greatest super songs ever, but it’s a pretty good cross section of what I’ve been listening to lately, minus the upbeat club music and hip-hop stuff I workout to. Mostly it’s a lot of newish indie pop that annoys my more mainstream radio loving coworker, E*****, when I play it in the lab. Tonight I’ll probably take ****** out to an Italian restaurant in the North End of Boston and maybe see Black Snake Moan after. I need the break, been so busy lately. I’m taking a pair of courses towards my Masters degree and work has been way too hectic lately. Other than that, I’ve been reading Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman stuff lately. They’re polar opposites and both brilliant.
