What Harry's Listening To

Every now and then, Harry will get the notion to make a mix of new favorites of his. He made 2 or 3 in 2010 and wore them out, but is also attentive to what Rachel and I are listening to and will ask about songs that stand out for him, who the band is, etc. Months ago, he heard "Istanbul, Not Constantinople" and suddenly couldn't get enough of They Might Be Giants. They have since become his new favorite band (knocking longtime contenders, the Beach Boys, into 2nd place) and featured heavily on the mix he's been compiling this week and completed today. So, I've been listening to what Harry's listening to. It's not half bad. Here's the tracklist:
  1. Number Three -They Might Be Giants
