Vol. 2: F*** S*** Up


Nearing my one-month mark of living in Boston, I remain unemployed after many fruitless attempts to convince another indifferent manager that I am capable of delivering plates of food from point A to point B. Well I've got another interview tomorrow at The Country Club in Chestnut Hill - which apparently is actually the first country club in America, which I suppose grants it the right to its name. Anyway, I go into this interview with renewed vigor and a determination to "f*** s*** up". I guess I could just say "rock the interview" or even "kick ass," but both of those just don't sound as awesome.

1) To Be Young - Ryan Adams ( mp3 )
2) Bittersweet Dirt Off Your Shoulder - The Verve v. Jay Z ( mp3 )
3) Cheated Hearts (Peaches remix) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs ( mp3 )
4) Hot Boyz - Chilly Willy ( mp3 )
5) Killing in the Name Of - Rage Against the Machine ( mp3 )
6) Dead Disco - Metric ( mp3 )
7) Seven Nation Army - SaviorSelf ( mp3 )
8) The Final Countdown - Europe ( mp3 )
9) Most Likely You Go Your Way (I'll Go Mine) [Mark Ronson remix] - Bob Dylan ( mp3 )
10) Here's Your Future - The Thermals ( mp3 )

If this job doesn't work out, I should probably reconsider blogging about potential future employers on the internet.

Vol. 1: Inside on a Rainy Sunday


On Sundays, we wake up to the settled chaos of the night before. Lazy bodies and quiet minds wind down to gather composure, with the unfortunate knowledge that Monday will come too soon. Boston weather is anything but moderate - although the temperature averaged ninety degrees the past week, today the skies exploded into one of the loudest and most terrific thunderstorms I can remember experiencing. I sat inside watching a bootlegged version of "The Dark Knight" with an underlying train of thought for the following...

There's a mix for that.

1) Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight - Amos Lee ( mp3 )
2) Damn, Sam (I Love a Woman That Rains) - Ryan Adams ( mp3 )
3) Desperado - Sarah Bolger (from "In America") ( mp3 )
4) Every Day is Like Sunday (Morrissey cover) - Colin Meloy ( mp3 )
5) Illusions - Matt Nathanson ( mp3 )
6) New England Rain - Matt McIntosh ( mp3 )
7) Look Up - Stars ( mp3 )
8) Gotta Have You - The Weepies ( mp3 )
9) City Life - The Profits ( mp3 )
10) Butterfly - Weezer ( mp3 )
