While saying goodbye to my 2009 journal, I transferred birthdays, addresses and other info into my new 2010 version. And yes, I do have all of the same information accessible on my Blackberry and Facebook, but there is something *real* about turning the pages of a book and keepsaking memories.
On a page next to a list of recommended restaurants in LA, I wrote down songs that I wanted to remember. These aren't popular hits that can be heard while flipping around the radio dial. Some are classics, some are random songs from movies, some are new. All touched me and I didn't want to lose them. Thus now that the 2009 journal goes in the journal box (with journals dating back to 1996), instead of re-writing the list, I'll post them and share them with you. There seems to be a theme of melancholy, so probably not choices for your party mix! Click on the links to take a listen.

I love most of those songs, but Jeff Buckley always gets at me. Such a sad story, I tear up whenever I here it. I'm a sap.
