Comment:

Just a little mix for a friend who asked for some musical recommendations - I think my friends are probably sick of me foisting mixes upon them, but at least this time I can justify it by saying that this the best way to make recommendations is to make a sampler! The title's from the Shins track - my friend likes to listen to lyrics, and I think she'd like what The Shins write. I hope so anyway.

Great job. To echo Mr. Burns, that is a great Verlaines pick.
