Having had difficulty sleeping, I put my energies into building a playlist following my readers' suggestions. It is probably overheavy on well known songs from my formative years, but there you are: baby steps.
If you make fun of it, I will cry.

What? No Sigur Ros?!!!! JK. You need to throw in the Luna cover of Bonnie and Clyde (the Bonnie Parker version) from Lunafied (not to be confused with the version off Penthouse or Live). That will lull anyone to sleep in a good way. Plus it's en Francais (got no idea how to deal with diacritical marks in this format).
Please don't cry! I am absolutely not laughing, if only 'cause I've got one of those things too, and my tastes are equally as peculiar, and in our defence copyright restrictions etc. rather limit our selection, isn't that so!?
The only thing really funny in the pic are the words "Janegalt's Playlist". But that is probably hit or miss for a number of your readers.
Try being 44 with a 9 year old daughter who regularly makes fun of you and your "classic rock" (although she does keep pestering me for me for more Beatles CDs).
So I like your list for the most part. But positive feedback from my demographic probably hurts your coolness factor.
Kid's say the craziest things. She should be pestering you for your vinyl of "Exile on Main Street".
Also. Damn those comma faults. Her English teacher would probably give you a call for the last one (of mine).
The only similarity I have on my I Pod is Only You, it is such a beautiful song. The first songs I bought (as opposed to ones I got off of Napster years ago) were Some Candy Talking by Jesus and Mary Chain, Atmosphere by Joy Division, and Island in the Sun by Weezer.
Not that I was interested anyways, but that thingy isn't loading for me. I hope that doesn't make you cry.
Nevermind, it loaded. Problem, apparently, solved.
I love "Games Without Frontiers" and "Only You". The Yaz song is my favorite wistful love song, whit "In Your Eyes" and "Question of Lust" being my favorite earnest love songs. Strangely "In Your Eyes" is by Peter Gabriel which brings us to "Games Without Frontiers" and "Question of Lust" is by Depeche Mode which Vince Clark of Yaz (and later Erasure) helped to form.
arrrg -- get thee hence and listen to nina simone'e 'ne me quitte pas'. arrg
More Yaz(oo)!!!
No crying in mixtapes. I liked the flow of the music here. The Bartlebees sounds like something I would hear on FIP, the cool Paris radio station.
I recommend uploading this and future playlists to muxtape.com — it seems legal (it's funded by Amazon) and it enables everyone to hear the songs in full. It also looks prettier.
