Jack Johnson, "Blue Eyes", Matt Costa and "Sunshine". And Brand new is good for dwelling on shit.
I don't really like Nirvana a whole lot, but I appreciate their cover of The Man Who Sold the World. Honestly, it's relaxing. Other 90's bands I'm appreciating: Garbage, The Cranberries, and Smashing Pumpkins. Sonic Youth isn't too bad, but they're 80's, also. After I saw Juno I had to steal my mom's album of So You Want to be a Carpenter and listen to Sonic Youth's version of Superstar- which is great. Listen to that and then 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins and you have a good couple for night driving. Or just sitting outside at night.
The first night in Greece, I sat on the balcony and played those 2 songs. I got to look at the people walking to the night club in small groups speaking rapidly in greek. They were so beautiful in the light of the street lamps. When I looked over the rooftops, I could see down in to the Sea of Olives. I don't think I could trade that image for anything.
I'm jealous of the people who live there, and I wonder if they truly appreciate it every single day. I have pictures, but it's much better in person.
