I started a post on Christmas Eve – a kind of year end, “I liked these things this year” kind of list, but I forgot to post it. And then I went back and read it and decided I didn’t like it, so I trashed it.

Suffice it to say I liked some things this year.

I’ve kind of been a little off the tracks lately in terms of … um, everything.

In an effort to not accidentally go any deeper into that topic, I will now play along with a meme-y thing that the wonderful Allyson tagged me for!

….because I am totally in the mood to embarrass myself by admitting to my taste in music.

1) List five of your favorite bands/artists.
2) Choose three songs from each band/artist.
3) If you can find a link to listen to the song at Last.fm or YouTube, post it!
4) Tag five people.

311
- “Plain”
- “Don’t Stay Home”
- “Life’s Not a Race”

Jackson Browne
- “Looking East”
- “The Night Inside Me”
- “For a Dancer”

Simon and Garfunkel
- “The 59th Street Bridge Song”
- “The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine”
- “Leaves That Are Green”

Joseph Arthur*
- “Enough to Get Away”
- “In the Night”
- “Dear Lord”

Jason Mraz
- “Please Don’t Tell Her”
- “On Love, In Sadness”
- “Who Needs Shelter”

* It makes me kind of sad that I can’t find any links to allow you to hear these three songs. “Dear Lord” and “Enough to Get Away” are oft-repeated in my car, and are probably two of my most favorite songs ever.

I tag anyone who’s reading this – I’m really no good at tagging people for anything, ever. Just ask my livejournal friends.
