Certain situations call for certain tunes. Habits are often slightly embarrassing.\u00a0<\/div>\n

  1. I only ever listen to one of two albums in my car: Ryan Adams\u2019 Heartbreaker<\/em> or Neil Young\u2019s On the Beach<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  2. That\u2019s actually a lie. I just repeatedly listen to the burned CD probably stuck in the deck that has my faves from Heartbreaker<\/em> & On the Beach<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  3. That\u2019s a lie, too. I almost always just listen to \u201cCome Pick Me Up\u201d<\/a> & \u201cAmbulance Blues.\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. I have an iTunes playlist called \u201cmalleable shapes,\u201d which is also the title of my terrible self-published poetry chapbook on unrequited\/imagined relationships. It\u2019s largely comprised of Elliott Smith bootlegs<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. My apartment\u2019s most-oft-spun LP by far is a Mamma Cass compilation, to be listened whilst getting ready to go somewhere I really don\u2019t want to. Because, when you have to get up early on a Saturday for a menial job you hate, it just feels good to be told you gotta make your own kind of music<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. If you see me listening to an iPod and walking to class, chances are extremely good that the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann\u2019s Romeo + Juliet<\/a><\/em> is playing. When I was in second grade,\u00a0I had my mom buy me it on cassette \u00a0because I had heard \u201cLovefool\u201d<\/a> on the radio as she drove me to Catholic school once, and because I had heard somewhere that it also had Radiohead<\/a>. I\u2019ve loved Thom Yorke \u2013 who is just a few days older than my dad \u2013 since I was 8 years old.<\/li>\n
  7. When I don’t know what to listen to, I usually just pop on OK Computer<\/em>. Because I’m lame like that.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
