Stuff I Like: iTunes Play Count, part dos

I haven't done this in a year or so...this is inventory from the past three or so months:
1. "Against All Odds" - The Postal Service: Well, we all know I love Phil Collins and maybe not as ironically as I pretend. Although Su-su-sudio makes a great, hillllllllarious ringtone, Against All Odds makes a great song and The Postal Service does some cool things with it.
2. Sentimental Heart - She and Him: This song is as adorable as a sleepy golden retriever puppy. Zooey Deschanel has a lovely pop voice and again, I love Matt Ward's old-timey musical sensibility.
3. Shut Up and Let Me Go - The Ting Tings: Oh, iPod commercials, where would music be without you? The marketing worked again, as I rushed to the computer moments after seeing the commercial featuring this super-fun, dance-y song.
4. New York, I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down - LCD Soundsystem: Another song reminding us that Central Park is just a parking lot when you're lonely in New York. I like the slow, mopey build to this song and the stripped-down vocals - it really gets that feeling of melancholy loneliness that I've begun to understand.
5. One (Blake's Got a New Face) - Vampire Weekend: Sometimes I feel like my music taste is a boring stereotype of a 23-year-old who shops at Urban Outfitters and reads the AV Club and Nylon. Am I a sucker for liking Vampire Weekend? Probably. Regardless, their whole album is summer-listening perfection.

Stuff I Like: Long and Winding Road Edition

**In the past few months, I've learned that commuting is for suckers. I've come to loathe the 39.9 miles I drive each morning and evening. However, there are a few things I've come to appreciate as I accelerate to freeway speed:

1. Talking Rain Twist Organic Water, mango acai flavor: as opposed to the non-organic version, which is not nearly as refreshing. Do you even understand all the chemical processing required to manufacture non-organic water? It's truly frightening...annnnnnnnd, I'm joking. This drink really is good, though.
2. Radio From Hell: in the mornings, a true Utah original.
3. Marketplace: apparently, I am interested in all things financial when the smooth-voiced Kai Ryssdal speaks of them.
4. Bikers with stuffed pigs on the back of their bikes: adorable.
5. Religiously-themed semi-trucks: exist.
