Itching for a new post category, I thought of starting a mixtape series, similar to the frequent lists compiled by a lot of other blogs. It might overlap a whole lot with some other posts, so it might be short-lived, but I'll just have to see how it plays out. For the first mixtape, I dug out ten tracks all about the first day of the week. Coincidentally, all of these Sunday songs are excellent, with many addressing the two sides of Sundays. On one hand, it's always a sort of mental (and often physical) hangover from the previous week, wondering what to make of yourself in the interim between the past and the imminent future. On the flipside, it's a day of rest and relaxation, full of optimism for what's in store in the coming week. The playlist is of course just my own suggestion, so feel free to pick and choose your favorites and work them into your own Sunday listening as needed.1. The Velvet Underground & Nico, "Sunday Morning" [YSI] (from The Velvet Underground & Nico)
2. No Doubt, "Sunday Morning" [YSI] (from Tragic Kingdom)
3. Blondie, "Sunday Girl" [YSI] (from Greatest Hits)
4. U2, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" [YSI] (from The Best of 1980-1990)
5. Sia, "Sunday" [YSI] (from Colour The Small One)
6. Moby, "Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)" [YSI] (from 18)
7. The Cardigans, "Sunday Circus Song" [YSI] (from original issues of Life)
8. Stephane Pompougnac feat. Charles Schillings, "Sunday Drive" [YSI] (from Hello Mademoiselle)
9. Maroon 5, "Sunday Morning" [YSI] (from Songs About Jane)
10. Beck, "Sunday Sun" [YSI] (from Sea Change)
