Guildenstern: Our names shouted in a certain dawn...a message...a summons...There must have been a moment where we could have said no. But somehow we missed it. Rosen-? Guil-? Well, we'll know better next time. Now you see me, now you- -Tom Stoppard, R&G Are Dead

So, I was looking at some celebrity playlists on iTunes, and it got me thinking about what my personal playlist would be. So, I offer you sixteen samples (Since they're usually around about that many) of what I think defines my taste in music.
1. "Going to California" - Led Zeppelin
2. "Deeper Into Movies" - Yo La Tengo
3. "Don't Stop" - The Stone Roses
4. "Concert for the Unification of Europe" - Zbigniew Preisner
5. "Age of Consent" - New Order
6. "Shampoo Suicide" - Broken Social Scene
7. "Assessment" - The Beta Band
8. "Like Spinning Plates" - Radiohead
9. "Agaetis Byrjun" - Sigur Ros
10. "California One/Youth and Beauty Brigade" - The Decemberists
11. "Radio Free Europe" - R.E.M.
12. "She Don't Use Jelly" - The Flaming Lips
13. "Love and Some Verses" - Iron & Wine
14. "Blown A Wish" - My Bloody Valentine
15. "Semen Song for James Bigood" - Matmos
16. "Banshee Beat" - Animal Collective
And I think that covers it in a nutshell. Not necessarily my sixteen favorite songs (I mean, Sufjan and The Postal Service aren't on the list, and that is far from my favorite REM song *cough*E-Bow the Letter*cough*), but the ones that are the best examples for the rest of my music.
