    His description: This list began as an excuse to put a Lee Dorsey song into a mix. Once that was taken care of, I simply perused my iTunes to find a song that seemed to "fit" as the second track. I repeated this process until I got to track 15 (which I had already reserved for Michael Nesmith's "Harmony Constant"). The whole process felt very natural. The songs just kinda fell into place. Even after a couple listens, I'm still pleased with my choices. My only regret is not finding a space for Gram Parsons.

    The list:

    "God Must Have Blessed America," Lee Dorsey

    "Gimme The Loot," The Notorious B.I.G.

    "The Ballad of Danny Bailey (1909-34)," Elton John

    "The Man Who Sold the World," David Bowie

    "That's What You Always Say," The Dream Syndicate

    "Ghost Story," John Cale

    "Borrowed Time," John Lennon

    "Back in the Day (featuring Jay-Z)," Missy Elliott

    "White Light," Gene Clark

    "Down So Low," Tracy Nelson

    "Cherry Blue Skies," Thicke

    "Girl from the North Country," Bob Dylan

    "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go," Madeleine Peyroux

    "Planet Earth," Duran Duran

    "Harmony Constant," Michael Nesmith
