senorita said so

k carly i made one.  i won’t wager that this is what you’re looking for but i did the sort of thing i thought.  it’s got some big hits on it.  you might like some of the songs and especially song 6 because i just know these things.  also get over yourself and get into the high-pitched parts on track 2, and hey, a band with a difficult-to-spell semi-precious-stone in their name can’t be half-bad.  the spoon song is good cause it sounds like a spoon song and the broken bells song is included because it sounds like a spoon song, too.  especially because of the particular way they do the hand-clapping.  something about a ladyfinger?  pavement’s seminal, so.  book-ended it with covers, seemed like a good idea.  i can’t remember who “the orchids” is by, but i know it’s a cover and also the best song from that particular califone album.  i made it the last song even though it’s directly in the middle on that album.  it’s called Roots & Crowns. it’s all right.  i own the cd.  it was an impulse buy.  jonsi, he’s the guy from sigur ros.  i skipped the accent on the french-titled song, but it should be there, i know.  those .zip files get angry about the accents, sometimes.  “mouthful of diamonds” is maybe my favourite song of the year… maybe?  it sounds like “hysteric.”  as good.  white hinterland, i don’t know.  it’s the first song.  and john k. because every compilation needs a weight at the end of the happy strings, like a collection of helium balloons.  all songs from 2009 or 2010 unless otherwise noted… let’s try to remain as much in the present as we can.
