CALLING ALL CALENDAR GIRLS AND ZODIAC KILLERS: Spaceboy v.1.0, who formerly was into the states, is now crazy sick for the calendar. So, of course, I'm making him a calendar-themed iPod mix -- which is much easier than the
states-and-provinces mix, because there somewhat fewer months than states and provinces and somewhat fewer songs about Nunavut (note: not an actual province) than about February (note: not an actual month). But yet again, I beg your assistance. There's a tentative list below, but if you can do better (or if you have a suggestion for a song about a day, like Wednesday, or Yom Kippur, that would be nice too), let me know in the comments.
The current draft:
- "January," Pilot
- "January," Ravens & Chimes
- "There's No Love in February," The Orion Experience
- "Two Days in February," The Goo Goo Dolls
- "March," Great Lakes Myth Society
- "April Fools," Rufus Wainwright
- "April," The Hentchmen [sic]
- "Maggie May," Rod Stewart (I know, but I think he'll like it)
- "May Queen," Liz Phair
- "June," Pete Yorn
- "July Jones," New Pornographers
- "July! July!," Decemberists
- "August," Rilo Kiley
- (September? help?)
- "October," Rachel Ries
- "November Has Come," Gorillaz
- "Cold December," Matt Costa
- "December," Weezer
Two notes: First, please don't suggest Earth, Wind, Fire, Guns, Roses, Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall, or Neil Diamond. I have the obvious September song in as a placeholder but I'm not happy about it. Second, I'd remind you that this is a playlist for a five-year-old kid, except that the last playlist I gave him included f-bombs and lyrics about drugs, withdrawal, kidnapping, domestic violence, Polish hookers, the River Severn, and "the rape of the great country." So I am a bad parent, yes.
