no more sugar left

a podcast for march

If March Were Mine...

In my newly founded unemployment, while I wait for Time Warner to actually show up and install internet, I find myself quite frequently at my "new office" otherwise known as Connecticut Muffin.  The only thing Connecticut about this place is the amazing soccer mom playlist that I have been toe-tapping to for days on end.  It's all songs that I am familiar with, but honestly can't figure out why I know the words or who sings them or why I am secretly enjoying it.  If March were mine, you would all be the (amused?/horrified?) recipients of a CD that would look a little bit like this:

No Such Thing (John Mayer)

Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Tears for Fears)

Take Me Away (Avril Lavigne)

Every Little Kiss (Bruce Hornsby)

You're in My Heart (Rod Stewart)

Heaven is a Place on Earth (Belinda Carlisle)

You'll Be in My Heart (Phil Collins)

What a Feeling (Irene Cara)

Thank You (Dido)

It's So Easy to Fall in Love (Linda Ronstadt)

The Shoop Shoop Song (Cher)

Teach Your Children (Crosby, Stills, & Nash)

I hope that this impressive playlist hasn't intimidated the true owner of the March month...I know that this is a tough act to follow.

Joblessly yours,

Johanna

MGMT

yay! look what's coming this summer to the slope!

february

greetings and salutations.

i hope that as steven mentioned earlier that you have all at this point received the february cds. last year i know that i was a bit overly adventurous. there were videos and everyone got confused and i am sorry. this year i decided to take it down a notch and make standard cd player friendly discs.

originally i was going to make one disc. all the singers were female and a little sad. i then realized the other music i listened to was boys singing ridiculous things. this led to the double disc.


i hope you like it! in the comments, please say which disc you like better. if you think they both sucked that is ok. you can say it. i am a grown man. i know enough to cry only when no one is looking.

you in?

In a dither

I have my whole CD assembled. 3 months in advance. It's very, very different from John's, so, as one of the Music Club virgins, dreading exposing my inadequacies in a public forum, I wonder: is one CD going to be enough? or should I do a box set like John? Is stylistic incoherence okay? How about utter lack of irony?

Also, can I use this blog forum to vent my ardent love of cruciverbalism? Today's NY Times puzzle really blew. I have much to say on this subject; just tell me no, and I'll keep it all to myself.
