"You sound to me as though you don't believe in free will," said Billy Pilgrim. "If I hadn't spent so much time studying Earthlings," said the Tralfamadorian, "I wouldn't have any idea what was meant by free will. I've visited 31 inhabited planets in the universe...Only on Earth is there any talk of free will." -- K. Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

The Sun on Your Face is the Reason I Wanted to Hold On

The Summer Soundtrack Project

I'm compiling a multi-CD volume of songs that have made this summer memorable, to accompany a show of photos and polaroids that I am putting together in a few weeks (stay tuned for details). Until then, I want everyone to send (or post) the top one or two songs they have been listening to on repeat this summer. They don't have to be new, or cool, or even anything anyone has ever heard of before. They can be the time you sang Tiny Dancer at Karoke back in June or your favorite song of summer 1999 ("He's just my baby's daddy"?) I want the songs you can't get enough of, the ones that will make you think of summer long after fall has descended. Hook me up, and I'll hook you up with a copy of the finished project.

To get you started, here are some of mine:

These Days - Nico
The Sea and The Rhythm - Iron and Wine
Holland - Sufjan Stevens
I Don't Care If You Forget Me - Morrissey (from Viva Hate, of course)
