Happy Sleepy Time

Alright, perhaps I have gotten far too introspective.  I have to admit that I usually think of blogging when I'm doing random daily things like enjoying my variety of new skin care products from Origins -- bless Origins -- or drinking ginseng tea that makes me feel like a fresh-eyed kid again.

Right now I am listening to my Happy Sleepy Time mix in iTunes.  I've been perfecting two mixes: one soporific mix of peaceful tunes for when I'm in a good mood, and one emotionally cleansing mix called Time To Let Go for when I'm down.  Each only lasts about half an hour, long enough to let you drift off but not so long as to be a distraction.

This latest incarnation of Happy Sleepy Time is my favorite:

1. "Write You A Song" - Plain White T's, Every Second Counts

2. "Across The Universe" - Fiona Apple, Pleasantville (music from the motion picture)

3. "Another Rainy Day" - Corinne Bailey Ray, Corrine Bailey Ray

4. "Down To The River To Pray" - Alison Krauss, O Brother, Where Art Thou?

5. "Julia" - Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood, Out Louder

6. "No Ke Ano Ahiahi" - Medeski, Martin & Wood, Combustication

7. "Pablo's Song" - Ana Serrano van der Laan, Chocolate and Roses

I submitted it to iTunes as an iMix today; maybe someone else will like it, too.

I can't wait to see what Holly's listening to; she needs to tell me the name of the Dutch Prog Rock band she introduced me to last summer!
