yeah, it's true... i'm in a mood. a "funk," if you will. and how do i deal with said "funk"? music. that wonderful music which doesn't necessarily pull me out of the funk, but it definitely works for me while i'm wading through it.

You managed to use one of the few Ben Harper songs I actually like. I also dig the Flogging Molly track and of course, Buckley. But I definitely could do without Jason Mraz, Travis, and SDRE.
