Looks like I found my winter reading.

Objectification is fun!

I’ve been compiling a playlist for the impending Cambridge winter. I thought it might be cool to post what I’ve done so far, and solicit additions. Think specifically about the order of songs, so they flow together well. Leave suggestions in the comments!

1. “Relator,” Pete Yorn & ScarJo
2. “Down South,” Tom Petty
3. “California,” Rogue Wave
4. “I and Love and You,” The Avett Brothers
5. “Paperweight,” Joshua Radin & Schuyler Fisk
6. “Come Pick Me Up,” Ryan Adams
7. “Skinny Love,” Bon Iver
8. “Say Yes,” Elliot Smith
9. “Somedays,” Regina Spektor
10. “La Cienega Just Smiled,” Ryan Adams
11. “The Rain,” The Swell Season
12. “For Real,” Okkervil River
13. “Winter Winds,” Mumford & Sons

For those of you who read this on Google Reader, you might want to check out the actual site (www.ryanaward.com). I have updated the layout, shifting away from my old site in favor of WordPress.  I’m still working on adding some of the old links (movies, TV, pictures of the day, etc.), but it’s a first draft.  The kistenet.com site will stay up, but it isn’t the correct layout.

“That’s because we’re uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don’t have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we’re smarter.”

I need to rewatch Almost Famous, immediately.
