4 Comments on “2011 NaNoWriMo Playlist”
You know, looking through that list, I can tell you which ones I suggested:
63 – 66
80 – 89
Yes, I remember the oddest things.
No suggestions, but just wanted to say I completely forgot all about Meatloaf! I’ll have to dig through my old CDs in hopes of finding one or two of his! 😀
That’s one hell of a list. Damn.
I’m loving White Denim’s Street Joy and Manchester Orchestra’s Shake it Out lately.
I can’t write to music, but damn if you don’t have some awesome artists listed here.
