one hundred and fifty songs I like

Habibty

by Hassan Shakosh Ft Yasmin Raeis

This and Mesaytara are my two new favorite earworms.

Olé

by John Coltrane

First listened to this with SB in Iowa City at his place. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. This is one of the most magnificent pieces of music I’ve heard in my life and I hope to hear it before I leave.

Daggasse

by The Gaslamp Killer

Heard this at The Picador in Iowa City

Nuba 1

by A. Cyrille & J. Lee & J. Lyons

A YouTube algorithm suggestion. Imagined a wasp bobbing around.

Muchas Gracias

by Medeski, Martin & Wood

Like a warm bath. Recommended to me by a guy named Mark in Iowa City at Quinton’s.

How It Ends

by Devotchka

I saw them in Iowa City during the “Mission Creek” festival. I enjoyed tears of joy at their live performance of this song.

Hang Me Up To Dry

by Cold War Kids

Fixed printers to this. Waited for the bus to take me from MERF to across the river to this. Wasted a lot of my time but it was made better listening to this.

Herran

by Chemical Brothers & Moby vs. Fatboy Slim & Prodigy

Mad. Heard this at La Boheme in Ames, Iowa when I was a wee lad.

Hi-De-Ho

by Jack White feat. Q-Tip

“Jack white has lost his mind and I love it.”
