Monthly Mix: Damned by the existential moment.

For years now, I've been making a monthly mix CD as a kind of personal diary. I'm adding the playlists here to help keep track of them, and also as recommendations for readers.
1. On The Radio - Regina Spektor
2. My Before And After - Cotton Mather
3. You Don't Know Me - Ben Folds (feat. Regina Spektor)
4. Bruises - Chairlift
5. Merry Happy - Kate Nash
6. Devils I've Known - The Paper Hearts
7. Swing Gently - Leona Naess
8. Here's to the Night (live) - Eve 6
9. Sometime Around Midnight - The Airborne Toxic Event
10. Not Nineteen Forever - The Courteeners
11. Ghostwriter - RJD2
12. Crack the Shutters - Snow Patrol
13. Momentary Thing - Something Happens
14. I Kissed a Girl - Kate Perry
15. Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers
16. Suddenly Everything Has Changed - The Flaming Lips
17. Here Comes The Summer - Fiery Furnaces
18. My Happy Ending - Avril Lavigne

The right perfume for this mix? Something new and hip and verbose, because there are some pretty fancy turns of phrase hidden in the lyrics above. I'll give that to emo int.rockers; they really do put together a pretty phrase. So let's say CB I Hate Perfume's In the Library in honor of their wordsmithery.
