Basically, it's a combination of songs that I think teenage girls can relate to, and some of my favorite songs that I think she should be exposed to.
She left me a couple more cd's for me to burn since she needs new music. So I burned her Feist and the Teddybears as well. I have one more to burn, and I'm trying to decide between Manu Chao and the Postal Service.
Yesterday, we had party on the beach. The boys and men of the McCann clan played wiffle ball as I took photos. Laurel even had her at bat. It seemed symbolic to me, as she is about to begin this new game of college, with life throwing her all sorts of curve balls and sliders in the years to come.

ah, mix tapes. love those. not sure if you ever got into the series Lost. It is one of my indulgences. There is a great line from Sawyer as he attempts to get a little noon time loving and gets rebuffed: "what, do I have to make you a mix tape?"
It is interesting to see your choices for your cousin. Another indulgence of ours is subscribing to Rhapsody. I'll have to use this as a guide to some music to check out (hey, I can pretend to be a teen again, can't I?).
I didn't realize you were a Bjork fan. I am too. Because my memory is @!#$, did we go to the Xfest in SD together where the Sugarcubes played? Most likely. A few weeks ago I read an interview with her in the NYTimes. Just in case you can't access it, she mentions the book she was reading while composing her latest - "The Alphabet and the Goddess" by Leonard Shlain. Perhaps some travel reading??
Thanks in advance for the listening pleasure.
