Because you didn’t ask for it, a Pipe Dream playlist!

Ashley Tarr, News Editor:

“I love ‘Mercy’ by Duffy because it’s upbeat and I love the strings in it.”

Julie Munn, Photo Editor:

“I’ve been listening to ‘High and Dry’ by Radiohead from the album ‘The Bends’ because Thom Yorke’s voice is absolutely amazing and the song is beautiful.”

Marina Gaft, Assistant News Editor:

“Rufus Wainwright’s ‘Between My Legs,’ because it’s awesome!”

Meaghan Trainor, Release Writer:

“Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, ‘Handle With Care,’ because it’s an indie twist on the Traveling Wilburys classic. Glorious.”

Caitlin Sweeny, Assitant News Editor:

“‘Love Remains the Same’ by Gavin Rossdale … because there’s an awesome ‘Dr. Who’ music video to it.”

Steve Rice, Newsroom Tech Manager:

“Does it make me look like a soulless bastard if I’ve been listening to ‘When the Levee Breaks’ by Led Zepplin a lot thanks to Hurricane Gustav?”

Chris Harnick, Release Editor:

“Besides my ongoing love affair with Ingrid Michaelson since her concert, I’ve been really into the Reubens Accomplice album ‘The Bull, The Balloon and The Family.’”

Lauren Roulette, Assistant Release Editor:

“As mentioned above, Chris developed an Ingrid obsession in the past week. He has been singing/whispering her songs into my ear since he met her. Besides the unwanted buzzing in my ear, I’ve been revisiting some of my old favorites recently — At the Drive-In, Minutemen and Fugazi — to name a few.”
