Question: Does anyone have a good playlist of super mellow songs that I could play before bed? Reading isn't calming me currently and I find myself listening to the softer tracks from Spring Awakening but I know there are lots others (Jenny Lewis, Rilo Kiley, Sarah McLachlan, Dar Williams, etc.) but I can't seem to make a coherent list.

I'm sorta half working on a down-tempo melancholic mix (not depressing songs, but like the stuff you're listing - stuff I listen to when I'm tired or relaxed or just zoned). I'll try to finish it up quicker and get a copy to you.

In the meantime, get some Amy Millan. She's right in that pocket, and gorgeous voice to boot.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
are you specifically looking for vocal music? if not, I would recommend Thievery Corporation, Indian Vibes, Aim, Quantic... any good downtempo, chillout-type electronic music... very mellow.
- Bren, Photophobe
Ooohh Ooohh.... almost forgot Groove Armada! wheeeee!!!
- Bren, Photophobe
Leonard Cohen

Thanks Jandy! I knew you'd have good ideas. I just need that mellow-ness. Bren - it doesn't need to be vocal at all (in fact, certain classical pieces calm me more than anything) but I'm really not into electronica. I've tried and I just can't... SAM - I should give him a shot. I heard him live (for a bit) at Coachella and like his stuff.

Classical: Bach's lute suites and any classical guitar from the likes of Fernando Sor, Isaac Albéniz, José Ferrer, Luigi Boccherini, many more.

I also often use Clannad, Enya, and Yann Tiersen.

i have this cd i bought, i cant remember the exact name, its called "best ever jazz songs" or some crap, but it's more loungey stuff. i remember hearing it in a motel restaurant in the middle of nowhere and luckily found a copy in one of the dodgiest cd stores i have ever seen. i remember being interested when I heard holly cole's make it go away. if i can find a link i'll post it on here.,,

I like Dido when I'm feeling mellow.

Thanks, guys:) I guess I've just always had my own timeline for things... But the thing that's currently killing me is that the two part-time jobs I thought I had evaporated this past week. So I'm now OFFICIALLY unemployed (as opposed to partially unemployed which was my choice). Totally fucked, see?
Oh crap.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Yeah. Remember how I said I don't mind working part time but the being totally unemployed sucks? Yeaahhh... And I learned about both today. Happy almost birthday to me...
- Lis Miller
So one of the songs in Spring Awakening is titled "Totally Fucked." I've been listening to it the past few days not realizing that today a confluence of things happened where I realized that I AM totally fucked. Not to mention I turn 30 tomorrow. Not really feeling the birthday happiness.
There is nothing wrong about 30, that is myth perpetuated by 20 somethings to make themselves feel better
- RAPatton
What RAP said.
- Spidra Webster
Yeah, but 30 is not ok. Neither was any age past 25. Also, being a female who wants children very badly, I have a time limit and no boyfriend.
- Lis Miller
Lis, you have a few years before you have to stress about children and with tech advance you may have a lot of time; plus, with your job shift you may have more time to socialize and find a Mr Lis
- RAPatton
30 is EXCELLENT. it's 35 that sucks. SRSLY.
- Joe Silence is not dead
You've been an adult for only a third of your life. You have ten years, about that same amount of time, before you need worry about such time constraints (more given current medical options). Don't stress about relationships, they will come in their time (I know this because you are a catch, period). Also, 35 doesn't suck either. I'm 40 and just starting to live a little :)
- Michael W. May
Child, please? 30? Hush. *looks at 37 with bitchlips*
- Derrick
So, yeah, did you notice the new Spring Awakening obsession? Must get that soundtrack and the Glee one asap.

For real. I need to buy the damned cd. I couldn't find any torrents for Spring Awakening. Tomorrow I'm hitting Target and/or Best Buy.

Holy crap, Healthcare Reform FTW! If this actually becomes law (fingers crossed), I could be insured in the next six months (yes, I read the part of the bill that pertains to my situation). Thank you, Obama. This is one of the reasons I voted for you.
Ok, y'all. Officially a Gleek. This is the only show I've been watching this season due to a crazy job. Job is over and I've had time to youtube extras (yes, I'm that type of geek) and rewatch the eps and I'm dying here. The cast is appearing in L.A. tomorrow to sign cds and I really want to go, but I don't know about being that fan-ish. Ack!
I put this on Twitter but I don't care. I have a perfect cast for the Wicked movie that will eventually happen: Lea Michele as Elphaba and Kristen Bell as Galinda. Also, they better hurry up for a Spring Awakening movie because Lea Michele HAS to play Wendla.

I don't know what that means, but it has rekindled my Kristen Bell crush simply by mentioning her name.
- Michael W. May
MWM - Wicked's a musical based on Gregory Maguire's book which is the story of the Wicked Witch's (from Wizard of Oz) life told from her perspective. Kristin Chenoweth originated the role of Galinda (Glinda) and Idina Menzel originated the role of Elphaba (Wicked Witch). I recently looked at some videos of Spring Awakening on youtube and have become obsessed with Lea Michele (that girl...

I have an appointment with a career counselor two days after I turn thirty. Seems like it's about time I actually grew up...

Because I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I've been a nanny for the past three years after dropping out of a PhD program. This is not where I want to be and I need help figuring it out and then taking the steps to get there. Oy.

Follow your heart/mind/need/self, Lis

Good luck, Lis. This is a great first step. I hope you find your path.

Thanks, all. I know that I want to work with kids; I know that's my passion. I just need to figure out in what capacity. Do I teach? Do I become a social worker? Something else?

I'm fairly certain that my cat is looking at me, thinking, "Ok, looks like mom, smells like mom, sounds like mom, but CANNOT be mom, because this imposter is cleaning." And I can't find my camera recharger. I hope it shows up...

I sat down to watch my Tivo'd Glee last night and realized that there had been no new episode. I was crushed. My life is so pathetic.

I felt the same way about all the CBS shows I watch. They apparently were all repeats this week. That blows.

Hey guys. I really like instrumental jazz music (I always loved what they played on The Cosby Show - sad, but true), but I have absolutely no knowledge of it. Where should I start?
