For those of you who are bored, it's Wednesday back in the office or Tuesday and you've eaten as much ham as you can stand, and are poking about the interwebs.
I'm working on themed mix discs, and am opening the door to suggestions.

The first theme is 'California' and I've done a search for songs with California (and Los Angeles and San Francisco) so now I'm starting to dig deeper. There is no need to suggest "I Love LA". "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" (Or perhaps "Los Angelenos") should suffice to acknowledge that LA exists.

The next set is the four classic elements. I'm trying to get enough material that I can get a semi-coherent 'sound' for each element. We'll see how that works out.

~Sometimes I think the strongest people hurt the most
No matter what they do, or dance, or think, or say
And I miss California rising up from the coast,
In my dreams and in my head

It's alright, there'll be other times
California's just another dream of mine
Oh, they come and they go, so slow

I think that if I walk the straightest line that I can
I'll only think of how much straighter it could be
And there's the thought of California in my head
I'll grip it tight and carry it close to me

It's alright, there'll be other times
California's just another dream of mine
Oh, they come and they go, so slow

Sometimes I wish that I could think in words
Except for all the times when I don't have to... speak
And I see California laced in colored swirls
Showing me the parts of me that will be weak

It's alright, there'll be other times
California's just another dream of mine
Oh, they come and they go, so slow
So slow, yeah, so slow, yeah, so, so, slow, yeah
