Food + Drink: A Mix CD.

Lately all I’ve been wanting to do is make mix CDs.  I’ve been working on an epic one lately that’s meant to be encouraging/inspirational for writing; it includes such songs as “The Slow Descent into Alcoholism” by The New Pornographers and “I See A Darkness” by Bonnie “Prince” Billy.  It’s really been helping.

Anyway, I told my friend Stephanie about my fixation and she was so intrigued by my need for an underlying thematic element that I immediately volunteered to make her a mix.  Since, like me, Stephanie’s constantly obsessing about food, it only seemed fitting that I put together a food-centric playlist.

1. “Dirty Old Egg-Suckin’ Dog” by Johnny Cash
2. “My Sugar So Sweet” by Nick Drake
3. “The King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. 1” by Neutral Milk Hotel
4. “Meat” by Noise Addict
5. “Oyster” by Jawbreaker
6. “Pork + Beans” by Bettie Serveert
7. “Cinnamon Girl” by Neil Young
8. “Gimmie Some Salt” by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
9. “Just Like Honey” by The Jesus + Mary Chain
10. “You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb” by Spoon
11. “Apple Scruffs” by George Harrison
12. “For The Price Of A Cup Of Tea” by Belle + Sebastian
13. “(Song for My) Sugar Spun Sister” by The Stone Roses
14. “Brown Sugar” by The Rolling Stones
15. “Bird Stealing Bread” by Iron + Wine
16. “Lips Like Sugar” by Echo + the Bunnymen
17. “Apple Bed” by Sparklehorse
18. “Fortune Cookie” by Pizzicato Five
19. “Coffee + TV” by Blur

I’ve got to say, it came out really great.  Drop me a line in the comments if you want a copy and we’ll set it up.
