Putting the Days to Bed . . .

Today is April the fourteenth . . . the anniversary of many violent acts with sweet names:
It's been 375 years since the Battle of Rain, which must have been the most soothing and rejuvenating of all battles (not that this is saying much), and 126 since the Four Dead in Five Seconds Gunfight - informative, but cumbersome. Actually today, to speak academically . . . sucks. Lincoln got shot. The Turks invaded Armenia, engaged in genocide. The Titanic sank. Lars Ullrich sued Napster and brought the evils of DRM upon us (this last one isn't great, but is only flippantly included in the list - we're insensitive, but not that insensitive).

Never fear though. With TMC, there's always a reason to celebrate . . . . today, its Avril 14th by Aphex Twin, yet another favorite from a Sofia Coppola soundtrack. Buy the Marie Antoinette soundtrack here.

. . . that said, songs in tune with the calendar (Gregorian calendar? Gregorian chant? Coincidence? We think not.) have long been an interest for the ladies of TMC (for a while there, we couldn't think of a Thursday song) . . . a mixtape might be in order. Some suggestions are below, feel free to add others via comments.
