Playlists

They used to be called mix tapes, but now they're "playlists." Everyone seems to making one or more to share on various sites such as Spotify. Including, it seems, politicians.

Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, released his list the other day. We have a number of the tunes on various CDs. Here are the 19 songs he listed:

I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow - The Soggy Bottom Boys
On the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack [CD SOUNDTRACK OBR].

Read My Mind - The Killers
On Sam's Town [CD ROCK KIL].

December, 1963 [Oh What A Night!] - Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons

The best version is Johnny Cash's on 16 Biggest Hits [CD COUNTRY CAS].

Somebody Told Me - The Killers

The M.T.A. (The Boston Subway Song) - The Kingston Trio
