Opened the bench that sits in my hallway, totally forgot it had a drawer into. Achoo! After the dust settles, I find my old Walkman in there with a mixed tape from Jay circa 1996. A few minutes later after finding batteries for it and I'm listening away. I have quite a few on CD or iTunes but think it would be fun to find the rest. Here's what is on it: Single gun theory - transmission john Lennon - look at me Joe Henry - trampoline Vanessa Daou - long tunnel of wanting you Pete Townsend - popular Mike watt - Chinese fire drill (with frank black) john Lennon - real love Cowboy junkies - something more besides you everything but the girl - we walk the same line Leonard Cohen - The future Lou Reed - sweet jane (extended concert verison) The beatles - i want you cibo matto - beef jerky Unknown - Welcome to your nightly (a ton of horns and reggae style rapping in some parts) If you know what the last song might be - please let me know

Paid Robert and Jared 5 cents a CD and they burned all of my CD's to iTunes. I could turn it on now and it would play for close to 18 days without repeating a songs. Of course I'm finding other CD's around my house in car carriers, cases and other boxes - so I've got a few more to burn.

On the way home from work yesterday I saw "the bill that became a law" from School House Rock. All school buses must stop at a railroad track regardless if the lights are blinking or arm is down. Makes me smile every time I see it and then break into song of course.
