I started keeping a diary on October 26th, 1997. I was 14 and in 9th grade. I kept up until 2004, and every year, I made a ‘personal soundtrack’ with songs that reflected last years’ themes and storylines.
Here are 20 songs for ‘Season 15’, October 2011 to October 2012.
.
- Dillon: “Thirteen Thirtyfive”
- James Vincent McMorrow: “Breaking Hearts”
- Andrew Bird: “Fake Palindromes”
- Gregory Alan Isakov: “That Moon Song”
- The Head and the Heart: “Down in the Valley”
- Ghosts I’ve met: “Winter’s Ruin”
- Holcombe Waller: “Qu’Appelle Valley, Saskatchewan”
- Ben Howard: “Depth over Distance” (Live)
- Melanie Safka: “Uptown & Down”
- Gladys Knight: “Midnight Train to Georgia”
- P.J. Harvey: “England”
