Mood: Ultramarine - playlist

It's been so long since I've put together a compilation that's not for a wedding! What was originally created as a pre-show mood-setter had found audience in my tiny amygdala instead. A bruised ultramarine haze has slipped under the door, slithered across the floor, spread itself thin, and upon finally settling in, has commanded a very specific mood for this nippy November weekend. All this to capture: "Um...I need music that makes you think, something to lead up to Al Green's Ain't No Sunshine". Hmm. Well, at least I'm thinking.
