I made a CD a few weeks back and it's been in constant rotation in our kitchen. My roommates complain that it makes them want to sit at our table and have a good cry, and then they play it again. I'll acknowledge that there's a long section of heartbreak and depression in the middle, but it brightens up towards the end!

Tracklist:
1. Gonzales - Gentle Threat
2. Asylum Street Spankers - Breathing
3. Sonya Kitchell - Train
4. The Frames - What Happens When The Heart Just Stops?
5. Liz Phair - Shatter
6. Ane Brun - Where Friend Rhymes With End
7. Aimee Mann - Wise Up
8. Derek Webb - Wrong Man
9. Counting Crows - Colorblind
10. James - Laid (acoustic version)
11. Ben Harper - She's Only Happy in the Sun
12. Sarah Slean - My Invitation
13. Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah
14. Cat Power - The Greatest
15. Sinead O'Connor - No Man's Woman
16. Jack Johnson - You're Missing Me
17. Fiona Apple - Waltz (Better Than Fine)
18. Greg Brown - Just By Myself

The next CD I make will have at least these songs on it:
Clap Your Hand Say Yeah - The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth
Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day
