songs my mother taught me.

Side A
Artist Song
the beatles  two of us 
the lucksmiths  the art of cooking for two 
the cyrkle  red rubber ball 
the dovers  what am i going to do? 
the beatles  penny lane 
belle and sebastian  dylan in the movies 
magnetic fields  all my little words 
bob dylan  girl from the north country 
cat stevens  the wind 
trembling blue stars  sometimes i still feel the bruise 
the left banke  she may call you up tonight 
leonard cohen  the sisters of mercy 
the softies  he'll never have to know 
the beatles  let it be 
Side B
ArtistSongBuy
belle and sebastian  the loneliness of the middle distance runner 
the zombies  this will be our year 
the beatles  we can work it out 
big star  in the street 
bob dylan  just like tom thumb's blues 
elton john  tiny dancer 
the flying burrito brothers  sin city 
carole king  beautiful 
margo guryan  love songs 
lulu  to sir with love 
belle and sebastian  is it wicked not to care? 
the beatles  let it be 
   
   

Comment:

this is digital (101010). an xmas gift for my mom, whose cosistent playing of beatle records while i was in my crib lead to a life long music addiction. unfortunately, my tastes were sophisticated from the get-go, leading to a reputation for pretentiousness in my tastes. also, this is a desparate attempt to get her to like belle and sebastian. happy holidays all!

Cool mix. And you were lucky, Brandt... my mom's primary listening when I was growing up was pap like Barbra Streisand, disco-era Bee Gees, Rita Coolidge, and 70's Dionne Warwick. *spits* Merry Christmas, my friend.

What a nice mix Brandt. I've often made mix tapes for my mom for Christmas as well. She's also a big fan of Cat Stevens, Dylan, Leonard Cohen and the Beatles. Hold on a sec! Is it possible? Could you be my long lost brother!?!? *imagining tearful reunion followed quickly by sibling squabbling* Perhaps it's better if we never know. Anyway, I've also turned her on to B&S's "Seeing Other People," and I'm sure she'd like your choices as well. Oh, and Merry Christmas to you bro!
