So, what's the first thing I did this morning after waking up????
Go and put music on... I'm kind of 'stuck' on a few songs at the moment... The Bahama's 'Lost in the Light'; Boxer Rebellion's "Step Out of the Car'; Rascal Flatts new album, Changed... Jennifer Lopez 'Adios'... I've also gotten back into a great Aussie band that I loved as a young adult, Skunkhour... Their songs 'Sunstone' and 'We're Up to our Necks in it" are sublime..
I've had a bit of an ecclectic morning as far as music goes, all whilst sipping a delicious, warm, silky coffee and sitting around in my pj's and dressing gown.
Is there any better way to start the day?

One of my favourite movies of all time is a little flick called 'High Fidelity'. It stars John Cussack and (at the time) a lesser known Jack Black and Moby.. It is a story centered around Cussacks character, who is a record store owner and who is going through a relationship break up..
As always, Cussack is engaging, satirical, sarcastic and delivers his lines with that 'coolness' that is only possible from him.
One of my favourite things from this movie is the 'Top Ten Lists' that the characters would grill each other on on a daily basis and - secondly - that Cussack's character makes mix tapes for the girls he's into (super cute) of his favourite music and music that reminds him of them / her...
Over the years I have made many 'mix tapes' but to try to tie down a 'Top Ten' of all time favourite songs... I don't think I could do it!!!
Anyway... I've decided that this is something that I am going to attempt... I may have to do it by genre to begin with..... So... Stay tuned!! :-)
Oh - and, if you get a chance to - watch the movie!!!
