straight off these cuffs
As requested by Gardner Linn, and brought to my attention by Hillary, here's a quickly dashed off list of my favorite songs. There's some overlap between this list and Hillary's, but her list has not influenced mine in the least. I'm sure this isn't entirely accurate; it's merely a quickly planned, poorly thought-out approximation. Yes sir.
