Tunes @ Work; Opus 1, No. 8

Along with the backlog of music events and restaurant visits, I have four playlists I need to post. In case you're curious how I come up with these, I come into work everyday and turn my iTunes on random. As it cycles through the +15,000 songs in my collection (that's over 72 gigs of music!), I throw the songs that pique my interest into a weekly playlist. Going forward, I plan on adding links so you can listen to or purchase the songs directly from my blog. I can either link to a streaming service like imeem or to a music purchase platform like Apple's or Amazon's. What would you prefer? Hit me up with a comment and let me know. In the meantime, here's a list from mid-July.
