249 Enchanted and Recanted

  1.  "Second Guessing" R.E.M.
  2. "Summer Babe (Winter Version)" My third-ever inclusion of a Pavement song on a playlist, after "Unseen Power Of The Picket Fence" thirty-one years and 200+ mixes ago, and "Cut Your Hair" 13 years and a hundred mixes ago. Perhaps I'll like a fourth Pavement song circa AD 2038, and include it on playlist number 350?
  3. "Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me" Gladys Knight and The Pips
  4. "Love You Til The Day I Die" Crowded House
  5. "A Couple Minutes" Olivia Dean
  6. "The Rain Song" Led Zeppelin
  7. "Buckets Of Rain" (live) Neko Case wrote a song so timeless I kept thinking this must be a cover of some Americana classic!
  8. "100 Horses" Geese for anyone out there disappointed that Geese bought their way into your ears, I am sorry to report the music business has never been a meritocracy. Record labels have been paying for access forever. 
  9. "Little Bitty Pretty One" Thurston Harris
  10. "Jamie's Cryin" Van Halen
  11. "When You Were Mine" Cyndi Lauper covering Prince
  12. "Stay In Your Lane" Courtney Barnett
  13. "Me and The Boys" Bonnie Raitt covering NRBQ
  14. "Prove My Love" Violent Femmes
  15. "Clint Eastwood" Gorillaz
  16. "How?" John Lennon
  17. "Any Road" George Harrison
  18. "Take Me To The Mardi Gras" Bob James covering Paul Simon
  19. "Take Me To The Pilot" Elton John
  20. "Sisters Of The Moon" Fleetwood Mac
