Having given up music (under most circumstances) for Lent has made me think a lot more about what I listen to. As I've thought about music that I actually get excited to be able to hear, I've found a playlist shaping itself over these weeks. I figured I'd post it, so that you can validate my interior life, and also because I'd love to hear what music excites you right now. I charge anyone who reads this to respond with at least one song that fills you with joy, be it profound, silly, or shamelessly boogie-inducing. All categories are included here.
Sufjan Stevens- "Vito's Ordination Song"
Ryan Adams- "Sylvia Plath"
Bon Iver- "Blood Bank"
Beirut- "Scenic World" (Lon Gisland EP version)
Animal Collective- "My Girls"
Paper Route- "Gutter"
Radiohead- "Reckoner"
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists- "Me and Mia"
Josh Ritter- "Good Man"
Arcade Fire- "Wake Up"
Common Market- "Tobacco Road"
Neutral Milk Hotel- "The King of Carrot Flowers, pt. 1"
Iron & Wine- "Sodom, South Georgia"
Freelance Whales- "Location"
Sufjan Stevens- "The Dress Looks Nice on You"
Josh Ritter- "Kathleen"
Freelance Whales- "Broken Horse"
Old Crow Medicine Show- "Down Home Girl"
Andrew Bird- "Anonanimal"
Common Market- "Nothin' At All"
William Cowper (performed by Matt Francisco, Alyson Snow, Judson Mallory)- "God Moves in a Mysterious Way"

Love the list. There are quite a few I need to check out, and I am with you on Vito's Ordination Song.
As for Sylvia Plath, you must check out this post I wrote before Vale was born...

And a song I could listen to 1000 times in a row and never get tired of it...
Let it Fall - Sean Watkins
Great list. Giving up music for Lent--you're much more spiritual than I am. Right now I'm obsessed with "Poison and Wine" by the Civil Wars.
