Three fast facts about men and their music playlists:
1. You don’t really know a man until you’ve heard his music playlist.
2. Women generally get their mp3s from iTunes, CDs or from friends; men from The Pirate Bay.
3. You can always copy or steal a man’s playlist. But it will never be yours. The special sequence of songs makes it his own.
The list below is my reply to Julia’s awesome 2nd playlist (can I really compete with a gal who shares her family name with a famous brand of upscale loudspeakers?). She leads 1-0 in our playlist face-off. This is my revenge. Are you listening, Julia? :)
My favorites are The Maine’s “Into Your Arms” and John Mayer’s “Edge of Desire” — “Don’t say a word, just come over and lie here with me. ‘Cause I’m just about to set fire to everything I see,” is a pyromaniac’s dream yet it’s honest. But what I love the most about the song is Mayer’s deliberate and layered guitar picking all throughout. Easily one of my favorite Mayer songs.
If I’m Saying Nothing – Landon Pigg
I Think of You – Ivy
Falling – HAIM
Under Your Charms – Josh Rouse
Into Your Arms – The Maine
Need You Now – Lady Antebellum
Never Gonna Leave This Bed – Maroon 5
Soul Meets Body – Death Cab for Cutie
Nice & Slow – SoMo (Usher Cover)
Edge of Desire – John Mayer
Heartbeats – Jose Gonzalez
Nice playlist but no Jeff Buckley?
I’m liking the blog by the way…

I totally agree you can tell a lot about a man (or woman) by their playlist and even iTunes. I will always look at the ’25 top played’ playlist to see what’s really going on! I get all my music on CD’s and I love having the CD artwork and sleeve. My faves from this list was Death Cab For Cutie and Jose Gonzales. Great artists and great song selection.

i’m delighted that you liked it. the artists you mentioned are very good indeed. as far as melody is concerned, my fave is the one by The Maine. i like songs with a little bit of falsetto.

I love John Mayer. Especially his live stuff. I know it’s been out for a while now, but his “Where the Light Is” album is a favourite of mine! He’s just all kinds of talented. Love boys with guitars! *swoon*
