Monday is All About Me

You don't hear too much praise for Mondays. It's not usually our favorite day ending in 'Y'. Why (y) I ask? It's because we get this great two days of vacation - sort of like a preview of what life might be like if we were a lottery winner or Paris Hilton. There's booze and boys and a whole lot of sitting on our asses in between. Then suddenly the two days are over and unlike Paris we have to recover from our hangover, show some self-respect and dignity, get up and go to WORK. (No, a reality show doesn't count P Hil.) Mondays are usually universal back to reality days and no one likes to be waken from the same beautiful dream we've all had since we were ten. To grow up and do nothing. Don't lie - you've thought about it.


But Mondays have some amazing things about them too. At Starbucks, Mondays are like Christmas. Tip distribution is on the menu - cold hard cash you can put in your pocket by the end of the day. For me this means new music Mondays. I can't hold onto my tips for more than a few hours before I'm at Easy Street finding another excuse to buy one, two or twelve new CDs. I think I actually surprised the guy working the cash register today with my massive purchase. He must have felt a little embarassed for/impressed by me because he threw me an extra punch or two on my free CD punch card to even the score. Shwack. I finally picked up a copy of MGMT's Oracular Spectacular, Jaymay's debut, Adam Green's (of The Moldy Peaches) Sixes and Sevens, The Blakes self-titled release, the much-buzzed about Sera Cahoone, and Sam Cooke's greatest hits (for $7)! Steal.

So today's Monday Mixtape is all about my new favorites off these albums with a few other heavy rotations on my ipod thrown in.
