240 Meet Trouble Halfway

  1. 'Paradise' Coldplay
  2. 'Mama Can't Buy You Love' Elton John / I think I fell across this song as part of a NYT crossword puzzle clue?
  3. 'Hold On' John Lennon
  4. 'Heatwave' Julien Baker
  5. 'Have A Cigar' Pink Floyd / I have gone from disliking and ignoring Floyd to disliking and occasionally listening to one of the few songs I like
  6. 'Wheel In The Sky' Journey
  7. 'Only Me When I'm With You' Soccer Mommy
  8. 'Love In Real Life' Lizzo records a rock song!
  9. 'Message In A Bottle' The Police
  10. 'Overflow' Hush Club
  11. 'Alone' The Cure
  12. 'Another Saturday Night' Sam Cooke
  13. 'As Easy As Rolling Off A Log' James Taylor is great, he's also my go-to bedtime music for my 10-year-old. This track from one of his American Songbook albums popped up one night.
  14. 'Strange Currencies' [remix] R.E.M. / the remixed re-release of Monster is better than the original mix, but the album deserved a reassessment in a 21st century context regardless. The stylistic whiplash we fans suffered between Automatic For The People in 1992, and Monster 23 months later, cannot be overstated.
  15. 'Every 1's A Winner' Hot Chocolate
  16. 'Everything You Want' Vertical Horizon 
  17. 'Games' Tessa Violet
  18. 'Lava' The B-52's
  19. 'Big Big Love' k.d.lang and The Reclines
  20. 'Dance Of The Infidels' Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden
