Comment:

I have a friend who illustrates alphabet books, and she inspired this mix, originally called "An Alphabet of Emotions." There really is an associated emotion for every song (excepting the untitled intermission), and it really is in alphabetical order. It is a strange little mix.

Wow. That's a great theme. Who can guess which emotions the songs represent? I'm guessing "confusion" for New Order, "jealousy" for Screamin' Jay Hawkins and "incredulous" for Cat Power.
