I made a muxtape in honor of my back neighbor finally taking her laundry down! after seven days. So here are some ploffy tunes to bubble and agitate to.

What? No Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" ("kick em when they're up, kick em when they're down") or The Detegents' "Leader of the Laundromat" (pitch-perfect parody of "Leader of the Pack")?

And you could have so much fun with American detergent brands: "Surf's Up", "The Tide is High", "When We Were Fab" "All or Nothing at All" "Bold as Love" or anything by Blue Cheer.

And I always think of "Take Me to the River" as a "washing me down" song, more than The Standells' "Dirty Water"...

I thought maybe the Don Henley might be too obvious/easy... I had some different ones I tried in place of Dirty Water - and yeah, I wasn't 100% on that one, but I'm not convinced that "Take Me to the River" fits. I'm up for other replacements on that one, though.

I also left out Emmylou Harris' (or Joni Mitchell's) "Magdalene Laundries" which is gorgeous, but too sad for my laundromat.

i hadn't listened to it myself before; the last three songs aren't playing, maybe because they can't be bought by amazon.
Hmm.

They play fine here.

It's playing fine for me, but I had to open IE to play them - I find that at some point they just stop playing in FF. Mysterioso.

Thanks, eth - I've been listening to this the whole time I've been making my husband's birthday cake. :)

What kind of cake and how old?
Later, i think i'll change it to see if they all play or just cut off at nine and restart again.

devils food with sour cream chocolate icing the greece doesn't have sour cream, so I had to improvise my own, and 48.
