It is currently 4:39 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14 and my freakin' federal income tax forms have yet to be finalized and postmarked. (Believe it or not, folksingers occasionally earn enough income to warrant filing their income taxes!) This, obviously, is a source of immense anxiety. In an attempt to soothe my nerves (and in the true spirit of tax procrastination), I've decided to take a break from my number crunching to post a playlist that is sure to chill me and all of you other tax slackers out. Trust me, this is better than Xanax. Enjoy!
Nice and Slow, Usher
Money Made You Mean, Indigo Girls
2 Cool 2 Be 4-Gotten, Lucinda Williams
Mercy Now, Mary Gauthier
Pulse, Ani DiFranco
