I don't know why, but for some reason, these songs always make me stop whatever I'm doing. Like "Desperado."

Ahem, I see you have a Listology profile now, too. We're both tearing up the internet.

Oh, and speaking of the Love & Rockets song, I heard it on the one mix tape you made for John. I've loved that one since college, since every time I hear it I'm reminded of a girl from college who fits the description in the song. ;-)
